Breakfast BLT

If you are a veggie lover like me, and just happen to LOVE bacon, then this my friend, is your new favorite breakfast!!!




It is super easy to make. (Compared to some things I make for breakfast!) It fills you up well past lunch time, and it's very versatile - add what you want!

Ingredients:

Bread (English Muffins, Bagels & Buns also work)
BACON!! 
Eggs
Avocado Slices
Tomato Slices
American Cheese Slices
Salt & Pepper

First things first, fry your bacon. I do this on my George Foreman. (I then toast my bread on it after the bacon is cooked.)
While the bacon is frying, slice your tomatoes and avocado if you haven't already. 
Now, fry your egg/eggs. 
On one side of your bread, place avocado, a fried egg, and tomato slices. 
On the other a slice of cheese, and the bacon slices. 
(I keep this on my George Foreman to let the cheese melt)

VoilĂ !!!

You have yourself a super delicious and filling breakfast!

Enjoy! <3

Tropical Cilantro Smoothie



Oh the health benefits!! 

Cilantro is a super DUPER food!
-Aids in weight loss
-Makes your skin pretty
-Good for heart health
-Has anti-aging properties
-Internal cleansing properties
You Name It!

Now, I am one of those people who don't love a lot of cilantro. When I make guacamole, I add just enough to get that flavor but nothing close to what you're supposed to. 

In this smoothie however, I took my chances. 
Worst case scenario, I'll just dump it out and start over...right?
NOPE!
It was amazingly refreshing compared to the super sweet, super fruity smoothies I've made in the past. 

Here it is:

1 fair sized bunch of Cilantro. 
1 C. Pinapple
1 C. Peaches
1 C. Mango
Coconut if desired.
1-2 C. Coconut milk or Juice or Regular milk..
Your choice. 

These smoothies, as always are very versatile. Make it to your liking. Stick in there all of your favorite things. 
Avocados, Spinach, bananas...
The possibilities are endless. 

Blend until smooth and enjoy the benefits. <3

Enjoy!
