Life as an Aced

Eddie LOVES breakfast while I on the other hand am perfectly happy just having a cup of coffee. Every once in while tho I will surprise him and make breakfast. A while back I wanted to make breakfast burritos but didn't realize till the end that I was out of flour tortillas and only had corn -- so instead I made breakfast quesadillas!!! Was a little worried at first but they actually turned out pretty good Breakfast Quesadillas Ingredients Corn Tortillas Cheese Scrambled Eggs Bacon Directions 1) Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and Lay out two tortillas per quesadilla 2) Put cheese on each tortilla then scrambled eggs on one and bacon on the other 3) Bake for 5 minutes 4) Put the quesadillas together then broil each side for 2 minutes NOTE: -I use sliced sandwich cheese for convince but really any cheese works -Feel free to mix this up with different meats and veggies

It is not uncommon for us to have quesadillas for dinner but making them 2-3 at a time never seems to be enough - - Since my oven tacos were so popular I decided to try out quesadillas in the oven too and surprise surprise they taste just as good and are actually healthier and crunchier this way too :) Oven Quesadillas Ingredients: Corn tortillas Shredded cheese Shredded chicken Directions: 1) on a baking sheet spread out as many tortillas as you can (mine fit 6) 2) top tortillas with cheese - chicken - more cheese - second tortillas 3) put baking sheet in a cold oven 4) turn on to 350 degrees and cook for 10 minutes 5) broil for 1-2 minutes 5) flip and broil for 1-2 more minutes 

When it comes to tacos Eddie likes them crunchy and I like them soft. One night waiting for Eddie to get home from work I accidentally came up with a technique that makes them a little bit of both Oven Tacos Ingredients: -Corn Tortillas -Taco Meat -Cheese -Additional Taco toppings Directions: -Fill Corn Tortillas with meat and cheese and place into a baking dish -Place baking dish in a cold oven then turn on to 350 degrees -Cooks taco in oven for 10 minutes -After 10 minutes turn off oven and let tacos sit in oven until ready to serve -Take out of oven and top with any additional toppings that you like

I'll admit it I am addicted to Pinterest and post tenzillion recipes and craft ideas but hardly ever do any of them. So before going grocery shopping last week I decided to go through my pins and pick out one recipe to make this week. Typically we make our tacos and burritos with chicken but going through my pins I found an awesome steak recipe that would be good for tacos from Shannon Shaffer on Lifetime Moms . I tweaked it a little bit based on convenience and what we like and in the end it turned out great.

For the month of February me and Eddie have decided to go BREAD FREE!! It was a little crazy at first but the one thing that has totally saved us and helped us adjust has been corn tortillas. We have probably eaten more corn tortillas than one person should eat but we have defiantly gotten creative in making our favorite dishes such as pizza and cheeseburgers into a bread free meal. Below are some of the fun ways we have used corn tortillas: Tortilla Pizzas Ingredients: Corn Tortillas Pizza Sauce Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Pepperoni Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2) Place Corn Tortillas on a baking sheet then top with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni 3) Cook at 350 degrees until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes) 4) Turn on broiler and brown the cheese (about 3 minutes) Cheeseburger Quesadillas Ingredients: Corn Tortillas Shredded Cheddar Cheese 4 slices of Bacon 1/2 pound Ground Beef ...
