Nachos are a breakfast food

When Joe is working nights, we only see each other for about an hour in the morning when I eat breakfast and he eats dinner and an hour after work when he eats breakfast and I eat dinner.  We try to make the most of our times and eating meals together is important to me...but when it's dinner for one of us and breakfast for the other it can be tough to figure out what to eat. Enter, BREAKFAST NACHOS:

There's nothing really too complicated here, I used all the normal nacho ingredients (shredded cheese, salsa, japanenos, sour cream, I also like to add a little bbq sauce because I eat it on everything) but I substituted the chicken/beef for...you guessed it...scrambled eggs!  It was delicious and you can eat it for breakfast OR dinner!  For a lower fat version, you can just use egg whites and substitute greek yogurt instead of the sour cream (that's what I did...pictured above). 

Mexican Egg Fried Rice

Tonight I tried to whip up a dish with things we already had in the kitchen and garden, and it turned out pretty well! Ingredients:

3 cups brown rice (cooked)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 a red onion
1 green pepper
4 eggs
1 can of black beans
2 tomatoes
Cilantro
1/4 Jar of jalapenos
Cumin powder
Garlic powder

1. Heat water on the stovetop for rice according to the instructions on the box.
2. While the water is heating, chop the onion and peppers into small pieces (whatever size you want to eat works).
3. Saute the onions and peppers in the olive oil over medium heat in a large frying pan or wok. (All the ingredients will end up in this dish so make sure it's big enough!) Season with cumin powder.
3. Rinse the black beans in a strainer to get the yucky stuff from the can off.
4. When there is about 5 minutes left for the rice to cook, add the 4 eggs into the same container as the onions & peppers. Scramble it all up together.
5. When the rice is done, add the rice, black beans and tomatoes to the frying pan. Add garlic powder and more cumin powder to taste.
6. Chop the cilantro and add it to the frying pan, also add in the jalapenos. Let heat for another minute and viola! You are ready to eat!

Of course any of these ingredients can be removed and other ingredients can be added to your liking.  My husband finished his portion off with hot sauce and sour cream, I finished mine off with some shredded cheese.  We both liked it and have plenty left for lunch tomorrow!
