Happy Monday guys! I seriously cannot believe that tomorrow is Halloween! This weekend we enjoyed some gorgeous fall weather, I made a big pot of gumbo, and we spent lots of time outside! We haven't done much of anything for Halloween yet, but are headed over to trick or treat with some friends tomorrow night! I feel like Parks is still a little young to really understand it all, but I am sure next year will be a whole other story! And because pumpkin season is in full swing and I want to know, are you still on board with pumpkin spice everything or are you like please no more pumpkin? I am really hoping it's the first option, because I have turned my favorite waffle recipe from my cookbook, First Bites, into the most delicious whole wheat pumpkin waffles that you are going to want to make from now until Christmas!
School has started, so I am guessing that your weeks have just gotten that much more complicated and hectic. Even if you don't have kids to get to school in the morning, traffic has increased and your morning time has in turned decreased, which can sometimes mean that breakfast gets eliminated or you might tend to grab something unhealthy. Make ahead breakfasts can be life savors for the morning rush and my breakfast tacos with Andouille sausage and queso fresco are the perfect solution to a happy belly.
You can prep all ingredients the night before and in the morning have a fresh and satisfying breakfast on your plate in under a minute. I don't know if you are like me, but if I don't have a good breakfast, I am not very productive and can get kind of hangry. No bueno friends.
I picked up some local Andouille sausage from the farmer's market on Saturday, and I knew right away breakfast tacos were going to be on the menu for the week. The prep is easy, and it's everything that I love about breakfast. Fluffy eggs, spicy sausage, fresh pico, creamy avocado, and crumbled queso fresco...it's perfection wrapped up in a soft tortilla.
You can swap any ingredients for ones that you prefer or have in the fridge and stuff those bad boys with whatever makes your taste buds dance.
They will quickly become a family favorite and you will love the extra minutes you have in the morning and the fact of knowing that you fed your body what it needs to get through the day!
