Breakfast Crunchwrap

Posted on July 19, 2023 by admin

This is such a fun breakfast and the format is the nudge to Taco Bell’s version. The filling is bacon, eggs, cheese, and nacho chips!

Fill with beans, or sausage, or avocado, or whatever fillings you like!

Breakfast Crunchwrap
Ingredients: (for 2)
2 burrito sized flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese (white cheddar and mild cheddar)
2 eggs (scrambled eggs & everything bagel seasoning)
2 tablespoons salsa
4 strips of bacon crumbled
~8 nacho flavored chips

Directions:
Scramble the eggs until cooked through, but not dried out. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if desired.

Assemble the crunchwrap with the tortilla, cheese, eggs, bacon, a spoonful of salsa & hot sauce, chips, and extra cheese. Leave plenty of space around the outside.

Warm a pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
Carefully fold the outside edges inward, working your folds around hanging onto the beginning. Gently put the crunchwrap face down and let crisp for ~2-3 minutes. Then flip to cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Enjoy! Serve with extra salsa on the side.

I loved this! The chips in this are such a pop of flavor and great texture.

If the folding around feels daunting, these could definitely be formed like a burrito. They won’t freeze well with the chips, but I’ll make them again.

Peach Pecan Waffles

Posted on June 7, 2023 by admin

These waffles were breakfast-for-dinner after some busy weekends where these didn’t make the timing. I love the peaches and pecan flavor in and on the waffles. Waffles are also ideal to make ahead and toast/bake when serving!

The Three Bite Rule - Peach Pecan Waffles

Peach Pecan Waffles
Ingredients: (serves ~4)
waffle mix & required ingredients (for 3-4 waffles)
1 can/jar cling peaches (chopped and juice reserved)
1/3 cup pecans
whipped cream

Directions:
Preheat the waffle iron.
Then, mix the waffle batter substituting half the water needed for the juice from the peaches. Cook the waffles according to your iron’s instructions – mine instructs to fill, flip, and cook for 4 minutes. Before closing the waffle iron, sprinkle in about 1 tablespoon of pecans per waffle and save some of the pecans for topping.

When the waffles are cooked, top with peaches, pecans, whipped cream, or as you like them.
Enjoy!

For dinner, we ended up with adults having 3/4 of a whole waffle and kids having 1/2 a waffle. In the morning we always seem to want less. We had bacon and the kids went for all the toppings on the side. I make these savory waffles all the time and freeze them for on-the-go breakfast options since they don’t need syrup/dip/sauce.

Baked Apple Oatmeal

‘Tis the season for all the apple foods! We apple picked and are eating them in lots of forms. I usually head towards savory breakfasts but this baked oatmeal was an exception and loved the crunch of some slightly cooked apples.

Baked Apple Oatmeal - The Three Bite Rule

I warmed it to eat it a few different mornings and froze a portion for another time.

Baked Apple Oatmeal
Ingredients:
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups milk
1 egg
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
2-3 apples

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, applesauce, vanilla extract, and butter.

Preheat the oven to 350-degrees.
Chop the apples and mix together the dry, the wet, with half of the apples.

Add the remaining apples and put into a 9×9 baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray. Then pour the mixture into it.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.

Enjoy! Or drizzle with caramel sauce or maple syrup. Warm individual servings with a splash of milk.

I like the texture old fashioned oats have – especially when baked. I’m not always into the softness of instant or quick cooking oats but some warm, cooked apples with cinnamon would be a great alternative to a whole batch of baked apple oatmeal too!

Loaded Savory Waffle

Posted on August 10, 2022 by admin

These waffles have everything: sausage, eggs, cheese, hash browns, and everything bagel seasoning- all wafflized! They’re fluffy and filling with a nice crunch.

I wake up first wanting coffee, then ready for a savory breakfast. I don’t usually want pastries or anything sweet. I loaded up these waffles with the savory elements I love and made them a handheld form for an on-the-go breakfast that eggs and hash browns don’t usually lend to.

Loaded Savory Waffles
Ingredients: (makes 3 waffles, 6 servings)
waffle mix
4 sausage links
2 eggs
2 hash brown patties (or ~1 1/2 cups tots)
~4 slices of cheese (I used half American, half white Cheddar)
everything bagel seasoning

Directions:
Preheat waffle iron and mix up waffle batter according to package. Cook the hash browns, eggs, and sausages and chop everything.

Spray the waffle iron and sprinkle in everything bagel seasoning, then ladle just enough waffle batter to fill the wells halfway. Working quickly, top with 1/3 of the sausage pieces, 1/3 of the hash brown pieces, 1/3 of the eggs, and 1/3 of the cheese.
Spoon on another ladle of batter just to cover the fillings. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and close and flip to cook. Mine takes 4 minutes to cook.

Slice in half and enjoy!

These are so good. They freeze well and are perfect to pop in the toaster for a weekday breakfast!

Savory waffles are fluffy with great bites of hash browns and juicy sausage bits and melty cheese. There’s a slight saltiness and I loved every bite. These are nicely filling but not over the top – 2 eggs, 2 hash browns, 4 sausages, 4 slices of cheese becomes 6 servings.

What I Ate: Pumpkin Muffins

Posted on October 26, 2012 by admin

I’m about to rock your socks off. And if you’re not wearing socks because it has been lovely at 63-degrees & sunny here in Boston then I’m going to rock your shoes off. I made the fastest and easiest muffins ever. I’m about to have muffins on hand all the time.

Ready for 2 ingredient muffins? Two. Count ‘em.
Pumpkin Muffin

Ingredients:

1 box Spice cake mix
1 can pumpkin

Directions:

Mix together
Bake

See? Omg. Totally the easiest thing ever. I added cinnamon chips because I love them. These were super easy and gave me some baking courage. I drizzled some maple glaze over the top. Somebody was taunted by my photo staging set up:
Pumpkin Muffin Good thing those chair spindles aren’t any wider apart! Isn’t he just the cutest?! You know what I say to that?

Aww MUFFIN!

Enjoy the weekend! I’m home from Santa Barbara, and from LA, and from NYC! Woohoo! I have lots ‘o blogging to catch up on so stay tuned for some picture heavy posts coming up next week! This doesn’t count towards my fall foods list, but I have a pumpkin post to prep that will count on my list, for sure!
