Black Bean Burritos

 These are seriously the most amazing things I have ever eaten! First time I made them they were ok. The second time I made them I read over some of the reviews and did a little tweeking to the recipe and wow! What a difference! I doubled the recipe, instead of red bell pepper I used sweet red peppers, I added a can of rotel diced tomatoes with chilis, 1/2 a teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 a teaspoon of cumin, and then the cilantro I added extra of and stirred in right before I served! Oh and I used a whole jalapeƱo minced instead of just a tablespoon. So incredibly yummy! My hubs and I are now huge fans!

French Toast Breakfast Muffins

 I made these today for brunch/lunch and they were so yummy!!!!!! Super easy especially if you have the ingredients. I didn't have nutmeg and substituted cinnamon. I would also recommend cutting the butter for the topping in half as it made way too much and I ended up throwing the rest out. The recipe made about 10 muffins for me but I think my muffin tin was a smaller one :-)




Here are what mine look like! So yummy! If you have kids I know they will LOVE this! ENJOY!




Ingredients

c. butter, melted
½c. sugar
1egg (preferably room temperature)
c. all purpose flour
tsp. baking powder
½tsp. salt
¼tsp. nutmeg
½c. milk
Topping (option: cut topping in half*)
½c. sugar
½c. butter, melted
1tsp. cinnamon




Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium-large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir until combined, but still a bit lumpy. Don’t overmix. Scoop batter into muffin tins that have sprayed with cooking spray. Using a large ice cream scoop, I got 8 medium-large muffins out of this batter; I think you could get 10-12 muffins by distributing the batter a little less generously. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they just start to turn a bit golden at the edges.

 For the topping, mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place melted butter in another small bowl. Dip the warm muffins in melted butter (you can dip just the top, but it’s even tastier to dip the whole muffin!), then dip/roll the muffin in cinnamon sugar. *May have left-over topping; the extra topping can be used for dipping, while eating the muffins (oh my). Another option is to cut the topping ingredients in half.CONSUME,ENJOY, GO CRAZY!
