Chicken Breakfast Sausage Taquitos

Hey, peeps!!! Guess what? Easy peasy brunch... breakfast sausage taquitos.

How did I come up with this recipe? Well, I forgot to make my kolache dough and wanted to make breakfast with chicken breakfast sausages. Saw flour tortilla I bought a few days ago from Trader Joe's. Then I had a lightbulb moment... taquitos. Yeah, why not? 

When buying sausages, look for something without sodium nitrites. I found the Never Any's chicken breakfast sausage at Aldi. It is the cleanest breakfast sausage I found so far and trust me... I've searched for new products all the time. You know, I just want something as a backup when life gets too hectic.

Let's get cooking!!!

Coffee Ice Cream (Dairy Free)

What's not to like about making my own ice cream? Not a single thing!!!

I came up with the coffee ice cream recipe many moons ago. The original recipe was made with dairy condensed milk, so I wasn't inspired to blog about it. For one thing, I didn't wanna blog about dairy ice cream. I mean, I can just buy dairy ice cream pretty much anywhere. I wanna share allergy-friendly recipes. You know, the food that I can't find in the stores. The food that I have to make it on my own.

Months ago, I found coconut condensed milk while browsing the health food store. Right then and there, I had a lightbulb moment. Dairy free coffee ice cream for Brek. DONE!!!

What's else to blog about. Let's do it!!! With less than 20 minutes, I present you... dairy free coffee ice cream. And by all mean, sprinkle some crispy bacon on top. I did, and it was... well, you try it and let me know how you like it. Or try other toppings. The possibilities of adds-in are endless.
