Homemade Tacos

I traveled to Austin, Texas in March for a beautiful wedding. In addition to celebrating the love and union of two friends, I made sure to get my fill of Austin grub. That trip brought about a new breakfast inspiration- Savory Breakfast Tacos. After taking a bite of a breakfast taco from Torchy’s Tacos, I knew I wanted to eat this again very very soon. The tacos we ordered came out fast, hot, and savory. “I could make this myself!” was the thought that came to my mind. We ordered The Wrangler (which included potatoes, eggs, beef, and cheese), and another taco that had chorizo- both varieties were delicious and hearty. Continue reading →

Egg sauce with fried green plantain and roti

This is definitely a recipe  I consider a ‘classic.’ It’s a ‘can’t go wrong,’ ‘no-fail’, ‘goes well with everything’ type of sauce. It reminds me of my childhood, when my mother would make a version of this sauce that we would eat with yams and sweet potatoes. The best part about it is that it is quick and easy to make, and uses ingredients that I almost always have in my kitchen. So, if you are in search of something quick and easy to make, give this recipe a try!

French Toast – a breakfast classic

If you couldn’t tell already by browsing through this blog, we’re big breakfast fans! From omelets and breakfast casseroles, to pancakes and waffles, we’ve covered all of my favorite classics with the exception of French toast. French toast is one of my favorite breakfast treats, and probably the easiest to make and the hardest to mess up.

To me, great french toast is fluffy, lightly sweet, thick but not dense, and can stand all on its own (syrup and whipped cream optional)! To make this possible, the bread (which should be fresh, soft, and thickly cut), and the egg mixture are both very important. But don’t despair! I have just the perfect recipe you need to pull together simply delicious french toast! Continue reading →
