new years breakfast

New Years Eve is great, New Years morning, uhhh, a little rough. You can head out and try to find an open restaurant, OR you could make an incredible breakfast at home.


You may be thinking, "cooking? On New Years day?!" No thanks. But this dish is perfect for prepping the night before. Just make the tomato & green chile sauce and black beans and pop them into the refrigerator. Then put it all together the morning of and heat!

If you're feeling really bad, have a little hair of the dog that bit 'cha and whip up a batch of mimosas. Your hangover will be gone before you know it!
Happy New Year!
