Happy (almost) St. Patrick’s Day! I haven’t missed a St. Patrick’s Day celebration since I started blogging almost 5 years ago, and I don’t intend on starting now. This year is extra special, because I finally did 23 and Me and learned that I am almost entirely British/Irish. This definitely explains why I love beer so much, right?!
I present to you Sweet Potato Bacon Breakfast Tacos, a.k.a. the time I took a healthy vegetable and fried it in a full inch of bacon fat and called it breakfast.
For the record, I regret nothing.
See, we’re really into breakfast food ‘round the clock around here. We eat black bean breakfast burritos (my super-simple weeknight dinner specialty, if I do say so myself) or veggie-loaded egg scrambles for dinner at least once a week. Literally the only thing that Brad knows how to make is an buttery egg-and-cheese breakfast sandwich. It’s safe to say we are egg-and-cheese devotees, so when I realized the other day that I’d never tried my hand at an epic breakfast taco, my food-blogger mind started churning on overdrive.
Important question: are you a sweet or savory breakfast person?
I’m not talking about brunch, where sweet AND savory is obviously the correct (and only acceptable) answer to this question. Examples here, here, and here.
I’m talking about everyday, quick-and-easy, needs-to-fill me-up-til-lunch BREAKFAST.
Phew. I don’t know about you guys, but this weekend was a BIG eating weekend. And a big beer-drinking weekend. And a big happy-times-outside-not-too-productive weekend. It was totally awesome and exactly how a holiday weekend is supposed to be, but as always after a vacation or holiday, I am feeling greatly in need of a few days that don’t involve stuffing my face with enormous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We all need a few of those days every now and then, even those of us (ahem) who write food blogs about bacon. It’s all about the balance here.
