The Most Popular Choice

By 41 Comments

Well good mornin’! Happy Wednesday to ya’ll!

Before anything else, I first wanted to say thanks to all of you guys on the feedback from last night’s post about my 2011 goals. It’s always fun to do a little bit of reflection, isn’t it? Even better when some of those reflections are positive ones!

NOW, I need to skip right to today’s breakfast because it’s too awesome to hold out on any longer. Yesterday, I asked you guys to help me decide which Real Simple recipe I should test out today, and it turned out that the most popular choice was…

Scrambled Egg Tacos!

All I can say is…thank goodness you guys chose this recipe because it completely exceeded my expectations. WOW!

I only made  a few minor adjustments to today’s recipe…

  • 3 egg whites instead of 2 eggs
  • sprayed the skillet with PAM instead of using butter
  • I warmed the corn tortillas in the skillet after the egg whites were done cooking for about 15 seconds on each side
  • no cilantro – didn’t have any on hand

I typically like SOME sort of sweetness in my breakfast (hence the jam on my egg sandwiches) and believe it or not, I was still able to squeeze in a teeny bit today in the form of my salsa. Newman’s Own Pineapple Salsa is the bees knees, folks. Slightly spicy with a hint of sweet and a ton of flavor. It’s the best.

And even better yet, I know this recipe may look like it would take a while to make but honestly? It only took me six minutes. Six minutes! And before I knew it, I had a healthy, delicious breakfast ready and waiting.

You may, however, want to add in an extra minute or two for cleanup…

They got a little bit messy, but were worth every last dribble. Now I’ve got to figure out which new recipe to try tomorrow, but I’m not gonna lie…I really want this one again. Winking smile

*****

I haven’t gotten a chance to get a workout in yet today, since I had a little bit different of a morning than usual, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to figure something out for later. If not, no big deal.

Gotta run, BUT, I do have something to fill you all in on later today…

Questions for the Morning:

Are there any goals you set for yourself in 2011 that you are proud of accomplishing? Any that you still need to work on?

Scrambled Egg Tacos…YAY or NAY for your breakfast?

  1. Those scrambled egg tacos look really good. I make breakfast burritos sometimes but I've never thought to make them into tacos. I love Real Simple's recipes, I used one for dinner last night!

  7. Starting a blog was on my list in 2011. It maybe took me until the last week of the year to do it, but so far I am very glad I took a chance and made one! I am almost always a sweet breakfast girl, but I actually think I would crave the egg tacos for dinner! My husband would even like those :-)

  9. the scrambled egg tacos definitely sound intriguing!! i personally would probably eat this for a lunch rather than breakfast mostly just because i'm more of a fan of sweet in the morning. but maybe if i used your trick of using the pineapple salsa, it'd solve that? hmm... ;)

  15. I am happy you tried those, they were my top choice! I need to try them now too :) I am more of a sweet breakfast person too but every once in awhile its nice to switch it up and go savory.

  18. Those tacos look yummy!! I love Newmans pineapple salsa too! Sometimes for dinner I'll mix it with shrimp and veggies then serve it over brown rice. Yum!

  20. What type of corn tortillas do you use? I'm always apprehensive about tortillas/ wraps because they tend to be high in calories.

    • I bought Chi Chi's brand, which I found at Price Chopper. Each tortilla is 60 calories, so two is the same as having an English muffin

  24. I would totally eat the scrambled egg tacos! The only thing we can't have in the house is avocado (toxic to birds so we don't ever take the chance) so whenever we go out, I make up for it and get it on everything lol So far my goals for 2012 are good. I have kept a food journal and followed my fitness every day goal. Got a long way to go but it's a good start!

  28. Scrambled egg tacos for breakfast....YAY! 2011 Goals I am proud of accomplishing...When I had almost lost my life, they had said I'd never exercise again, and I am now both doing cardio as well as weight lifting, and it is best shape I've ever been in! 2011 I still need to work on...Becoming healthy. I was recently diagnosed with both hypoglycemia and hypotension, as a result of my surgery, so my goal is to continue to strive to balance and stay healthy in every respect. :)

  34. That breakfast looks absolutely yummy to me! Actually it looks like something I would like for lunch. Who says you can't have breakfast any time of the day? :)

  35. That breakfast looks incredible, what a great idea!! Have you ever tried the peach salsa from TJs? It's one of my faves - SO good!

  37. My goal in 2011 was to run a 5k. I ran three! This year, I am doing what I call the 12 challenges of 2012. January's challenge is a month of vegan eating! As far as breakfast is concerned, I am with you-it always needs to have something sweet!

  • They may not be able to celebrate with their friends at school today, but I bought these shirts for them and, darn it, we’re still gonna be festive at home!☘️ . . #stpatricksday #festive #oldnavystyle #staylucky #socialdistancing #myboys
  • The perfect end to a great birthday with my favorite people.🤗🎉💙
  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving
