Torchy's Thursday

Yep, that is right. If you have ever been to Austin & have not eaten Torchy's - you are missing out!

 

Torchy's Tacos has a few select locations in central/south Austin but my favorite is the trailer off South 1st St! My breakfast taco had eggs, potatos, and brisket with cheese! I can only do Torchy's sometimes when I'm craving a "damn good taco". I highly recommend everyone has at least 1 taco from here! They do everything, not just breakfast but all the way from ahi tuna tacos to monster burrito tacos & NOTHING is over 7 bucks! Love it.

Anyway, enough rambling about my love for Torchy's... this morning I was so tired! We got word about 9:30pm last night that Scott's BFF and his honey were in town due to their cousin's softball tourney and needed a place to stay. If you know me - I LOVE having company, and what great timing that I just happened to had cleaned the house the day before (wahooo!). I love Scott's buddy Phillup! He and Lacey are so much fun to be around... the last time we saw them was from New Years... oh boy and did we have fun.

Yeah... I'm not sure what the F we are doing either... haha

Aren't they just the cutest couple? Love them!

So they are in town until tomorrow morning and we plan on hitting up the Oasis tonight for the sunset!

Tomorrrrrrowwwwww is my 5th Anniversary with Scottie! :) We have reservations at a super nice Steak house and Winery in Austin at 8pm tomorrow night! So excited! I'm even more excited about our future & getting to spend many more years with this amazing man....

Egg and Toast Muffins

There is no better way to start your weekend than with a yummy breakfast! I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and decided to make this Martha Stewart recipe this morning.

I didn't have bacon to put in these cups, so I made them just egg and toast, but with a side of hashbrowns :)


Egg & Toast Muffins

Ingredients: (yields for two)

• 1 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 slices white or whole-wheat sandwich bread
• 2 large eggs
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375*. Lightly butter two muffin cups (or as many as your filling). With a rolling pin (or a big glass for those like me who don't have one hehe) flatten the bread slightly, and then use a 4 1/2 in cookie cutter to cut the bread into round pieces. I used my glass which was a little short of the inches but worked fine. Cut rounds in half and place in the muffin cup slightly overlapping each other but make sure it reaches the edge of the cup. Use the rest of the butter to brush over the bread. 

If you cooked meat like bacon or sausage, now you will add that to the cup. After that, crack an egg into each cup. Season with salt and pepper, and bake in oven for 25 minutes, or until egg whites are just set.  Run a knife around the cups when taking them out, and enjoy! 

Using my handy dandy football pint glass! ;)

Before

I also bake the hash browns for the same amount of time, so I put those in along with the "egg-muffins".

Delicious hash browns seasoned in a no-salt tony's seasoning! 

The Final Product

I am definitely glad I tried this recipe from pinterest, as I've started making more and more recipes from my pin-boards. Since I had my side of hash browns I didn't really need any meat, but I bet it would taste even better! Great light breakfast :) 

My bible study is starting today so I'm off to start reading this amazing book! I also have a fantasy football draft today at 2pm, hopefully I will get first pick! :) Hope everyone is having a safe and fun weekend!!
