Recipes for home cooks by sisters who love food.

5-ingredient breakfast burritos. Quick, easy, and 5-ingredient breakfast burritos. Quick, easy, and beginner-friendly. 

We love deluxe breakfast burritos as much as the next person, but sometimes we're craving something super simple that we can easily whip up on days/evenings when we're feeling overwhelmed. 

Make these for breakfast or breakfast-for-dinner when you want an easy, protein-packed, and portable meal in under 30 minutes.

For 1 burrito, you'll need:

10 inch flour tortilla
2 eggs, scrambled
1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 to 2 strips turkey bacon
1 hashbrown patty
Salt and pepper, to taste
A little oil for pan
Salsa or guacamole 

1. Bake the turkey bacon and hashbrowns in a 400F oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping over halfway through. 

2. While those bake, beat the eggs with a little salt and pepper, then scramble them in a pan with a touch of oil. Once almost cooked, mix in the shredded cheese. 

3. Chop up the cooked turkey bacon and top the eggs with it, then cut the hashbrown in half and place it on top of the bacon. 

4. Fold up the burrito, tucking in the sides, and place in the lightly oiled pan, seam-side-down. Toast on that side first for a few minutes, then continue toasting on all sides until golden brown.

5. Enjoy with salsa or guacamole (or both).

Homemade takes 10 minutes to cook and tastes like sunshine.

It sounds fancy, but homemade lemon curd is just lemons, sugar, eggs, and butter whisked together for about 10 minutes then chilled in the fridge until set. That’s it.

The result? A jar of bright, velvety lemon curd that instantly makes toast, yogurt, pancakes, or cake taste like spring. It’s tangy, sweet, and one of those recipes that makes you feel like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen.

Tag a friend who always buys lemon curd at the store. They need to see how easy this is to make at home.

What would you eat with lemon curd first?

Unpopular opinion: peas don’t belong in shepherd’s Unpopular opinion: peas don’t belong in shepherd’s pie (because they’re gross). We said what we said.

Instead, we use cabbage cooked down with ground beef, carrots, and onions in a rich savory gravy, then top it all with creamy mashed potatoes and grated parm.

It’s cozy. It’s hearty. It’s weeknight-friendly.
