You may have already guessed this, but I’m pretty obsessed with food. Yes, I love to eat food. But I also like to play around with it, create with it and try new recipes. There are usually 2-3 new recipes floating around in my head at any time. Eggs in a Hole is one of the recipes that had recently taken up residence in my mind so it was on my “cook soon” list. Then last week I began taking a childhood nutrition class* online and Eggs in a Hole was one of the recipes the professor demonstrated making

I’ve always loved the traditional Rice Krispie Treats by Kellogg. But I don’t love that they are filled with tons of chemicals, sugar, white flour and animal by-products. So, because I’m me, I’ve set out to develop a recipe that makes me happier about scarfing down copious amounts, oh and also, um, to share with my family.

Happy First Recipe of 2014! I’m excited to share these Yam & Black Bean Tacos because they are one of my family’s new favorite meals. I love the mix of colors, textures and flavors as well as the combination of starch, protein and veggies all wrapped in one tortilla. Balanced and tasty!

For example, sweet potatoes can be substituted for the yams or even roasted butternut squash. Don’t like black beans? Use red beans instead. This
