Canadian Bacon Breakfast Stack
This is a lightened version of one my favorite breakfasts. Hot pepper sauce is necessity! Sprinkle it over the top before you dig in! Canadian bacon comes from the loin area of the hog so it is very lean and quite tender.
Café Tropical Burrito
This breakfast burrito comes together quickly. Scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and a hashbrown patty are served up in a tortilla for a satisfying start into your day.
Sweetbreads
Sweetbread meat is from the gland of cattle, and this is how my husband and I prepare them. We like to cook them in tiny pieces. The taste reminds me of chicken hearts — only better. One pound of sweetbreads makes plenty for 2 using this recipe.
