What’s In Season

So how was your February??

What's In Season - February Favourites | cookinginmygenes.com

Does anyone else feel like February FLEW by and all of sudden we’re headed into March? March has me dreaming about Springtime, sunshine and fresh flowers and this set of party cups and party plates make me want to host a Spring party!

But, before we get there I have some favourites from February to share with you.

February turned out to be a very full month for me…I had a Super Bowl / birthday party and my team also WON which was exciting!  We ate a ton of food including my Kettle Chip BBQ Chicken Nachos and these Coconut Chicken Fingers that I served with ranch and hot sauce for dipping.

I cooked a lot at home and have a couple of new favourite recipes in our dinner rotation including these Slow-Cooker Banh Mi Rice Bowls and these Spicy Chicken Sweet Potato Meal Prep Magic Bowls. Both recipes are so delicious and make perfect weekday lunches too!

We went to the cabin for the Family Day weekend and with all of the snow it was just magical.

I spent a lot of time reading and finished this book, The Best Kind of People. I was hooked on this book from the beginning; it was soooooo good. Then I started on another book that I’m loving called Fates and Furies; half of the book is told from the perspective of the husband and the other half is from the wife’s perspective which makes it so interesting. I would highly recommend both books.

I also cooked a classic recipe which is the first I ever posted on the blog! Named ‘Mike’s Mac & Cheese,’ it’s a dish I created with my brother and its perfect for those cozy winter days. Plus, the mac & cheese leftovers freeze really well.

And to top off the month I attended an event at one of our local restaurants called Modern Steak. If you are in Calgary, you must check it out! We sampled a few of their steak offerings paired with wines and I’m telling you it is a must! Perfect for a date night or night out with your friends.

Now I’m really excited for March because it’s my BLOGAVERSARY!

These Easy Breakfast Tacos are a great way to star These Easy Breakfast Tacos are a great way to start the weekend & a perfect way to use a variety of vegetables in the fridge!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love this recipe because it really is a ‘choose your own adventure.’ Use whichever ingredients are your favourite!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here's how I made mine (don't forget to save this post for brunch later):⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INGREDIENTS⁠⠀
4 corn or flour tortillas⁠⠀
4 large eggs, scrambled⁠⠀
1 cup shredded sweet potato or regular potato⁠⠀
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion⁠⠀
1/2 cup thinly sliced red pepper⁠⠀
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)⁠⠀
1/4 cup shredded cheese⁠⠀
salt & pepper⁠⠀
suggested garnishes: sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, hot sauce, salsa, avocado, guacamole, diced tomato or cherry tomatoes, sour cream, sliced cabbage, kale or other greens for garnish⁠⠀
hot sauce⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⁠⠀
In a frying pan on medium heat, warm the tortillas, flipping to warm each side 2-3 minutes. Then wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To the same frying pan add 1 tbsp olive oil and spread out shredded sweet potato. Let cook until it starts to brown around the edges, add a pinch of salt and pepper, stir and then cook a bit more until your desired doneness. Remove from pan and set aside.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To the same pan, add another 1 tbsp olive oil and pepper and onions. Sauté for about 5-8 minutes until softened. Remove from pan and set aside.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Lastly, whisk eggs in a bowl and then add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan along with eggs. Cook, stirring until eggs are scrambled to your desired consistency.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Assemble your tacos by spooning sweet potatoes onto each tortilla. Then layer cooked pepper and onions, scrambled eggs and top with your garnishes of choice. ⁠⠀
Enjoy warm!⁠⠀
