The Best (and easiest!) Migas – Tex-mex Style
I don’t know if there’s anything “traditional” about migas, but I do know this: migas is one of my FAVORITE ways to use up leftovers.
In fact, I have been known to intentionally put meals on the meal plan just so that I have leftovers to make myself migas for breakfast (and lunch). Like Instant Pot Korean beef. Or slow cooker carnitas.
I’m sure there are plenty of ways you can make migas, but let me show you how it’s done in the Crumbs house.
Giant Italian Easy Meatballs
My kids love homemade meatballs… and ground beef taco meat (which is PACKED with veggies) and homemade breakfast sausage and the easiest burgers on the planet.
So it didn’t surprise me when my daughter asked to make BIG meatballs.
There was a restaurant we loved to eat at in California where you could order three giant meatballs as an appetizer. They were big, juicy and definitely filled your belly. She wanted THAT kind of meatball.
So here’s what we did for a big, giant Italian easy meatball recipe!
Instant Pot Korean Beef
As much as I like the home-y feeling of slow cooker pot roast and slow cooker white chicken chili in the fall, sometimes I want something with a little more pizzazz… And if it can make more than one meal at a time – a la slow cooker whole chicken – you know I’m allClick to Continue »
How to Make Flax Egg
Not too long ago I was working through a pantry challenge, trying to use up what I already had in the kitchen to help us get ahead for the school year.

If you want to save money on real food, it’s important that you evaluate where you’re shopping. You can’t just assume that one store has better deals than another. You have to do the leg work – make a list, get in the store and pull out the calculator. I’ve done the leg work forClick to Continue »
Ultimate Guide to Shopping at Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s was in my regular shopping routine for a long time, but when I learned how to be strategic with my grocery shopping, I stopped going as often because I was able to find similar deals without having to drive as far. Since our dietary requirements have changed a little bit, I’m willing toClick to Continue »
How to Freeze Herbs
I love cooking and baking with fresh herbs. Whether it’s fresh rosemary for rosemary sea salt flat bread or sage and thyme for Instant Pot whole chicken or a blend of herbs for 15-minute Italian meatballs, fresh herbs add a huge flavor punch. As much as I try to plan my meals around those freshClick to Continue »
Two Week School Lunch Meal Plan
When we switched from homeschool to a traditional school several years ago, I had NO IDEA how tricky and troublesome packing a school lunch could be. Sure I heard of some lunch packing hacks for parents to make it easier, and those were great… but it didn’t solve the issue of WHAT to pack forClick to Continue »
Paleo Cassava Flour Tortillas (gluten-free, grain-free)
When my husband learned during the Whole30 that he reacts to gluten, there were two things he was sad about missing out on: homemade pizza and taco night. We haven’t made any progress on pizza yet, since we’re generally avoiding cheese and he’s avoiding tomatoes too. However, we’ve made HUGE progress on taco night everClick to Continue »
5-ingredient Banana Bread Muffins
School is in full swing and that usually means a triple or quadruple batch of cinnamon blender oatmeal waffles or easy almond flour pancakes or oven-roasted hash browns or coconut oil and cinnamon granola on Saturday morning so that we have enough leftovers for quick breakfasts during the week. However, sometimes I like to surpriseClick to Continue »
