I think we are all ready for Christmas.  Just a few little things left to do like wrapping the gifts and putting things in stockings.  Oh, and plan breakfast for Christmas morning.  I’m thinking about some Nutella crescent roll braids like this.  I shared this one with Something Swanky a while ago, and just realized that I never shared it here.

Do you like easy breakfast recipes?  We do too.   Easy recipes are perfect for a day when you want to spend it relaxing in your jammies with your kiddos.  This is such a simple pastry that even the kids can help make one.  My daughter loves that we braid this just like we braid her hair.   [Read more...]

We have gone into full blown school mode around here.
School supplies have been purchased.
Is it just me or do kids have more and more things added to their lists every year?
Hello, shopping cart full of notebooks, binders, and pencils and
goodbye fun baking money for the month.

There is only one more full week of summer vacation left here.
I really feel like the kids just got out.
Where did the summer go this year???

It’s no secret around here that I don’t like to get up in the morning.
Thank goodness my kids are old enough now to get up with their alarms
and to get ready without me monitoring every single minute.

They are even big enough to get their own breakfasts.
Toast, poptarts, cereal, and toaster strudels…
yup, plenty of the easy stuff that they like.

Now there are the days that I will make muffins or donuts
the afternoon before so they can have those the next morning.
Not that I couldn’t get up and do it that morning,
but my body doesn’t function so well first thing.
And you kind of need to be alert when baking yummy stuff.
Wouldn’t want to grab the wrong ingredient or something.
Plus a hot stove and a sleeping person isn’t the best combo.

I am always on the lookout for fun things that I can make the day before
and refrigerate for early morning breakfast.
The other night we had tacos and so we had extra taco meat in the fridge.
And I had another tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls, because I have kind of been in love with them lately.

Scrambled eggs and leftover taco meat happens to be a huge favorite of mine,
so it got me thinking on how I could incorporate it into something the kids could reheat easily.

Bake this yummy mixture up in a crescent roll and
you have super easy breakfast that can be enjoyed right away,
or reheated the next day for an even faster and good breakfast.

By folding the edges of the rolls up just slightly
it keeps the mixture together just a little bit better!!!

Don’t worry about it looking perfect.
They will disappear quickly before anyone even notices!!!

 

Taco Breakfast Boats

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Yield: 4 breakfast tacos

Taco Breakfast Boats

Crescent rolls filled with scrambled eggs and taco meat makes a great breakfast.

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) can refrigerated crescent rolls (I use Pillsbury)
1/2 lb. hamburger
1/4 c. chopped onion
2 tbsp. taco seasoning
1/4 c. water
4 eggs
1/2 c. black beans
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the hamburger and onion in a saucepan until fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning and water and bring to a boil. Lower temperature and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Set aside. Scramble eggs in another saucepan. Combine eggs, taco meat, beans, and cheese.
  2. Unroll the crescent rolls. Separate into 4 rectangles. Press the seams together. Cut each rectangle into 2 squares. Place 2 spoonfuls of eggs onto each square. Roll the edges of the dough up just slightly all around. Press together to hold shape. Top each square with more egg mixture, so each one is full. Bake at 375* for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Serve immediately or refrigerate and reheat the next day.

Actually my kids love having muffins and pancakes too.
This poses a dilemma for the night owl that I am.
