Huevos Ranchero


What a great breakfast!!   I just love this and always have some left over rice and beans in the refrigerator.   This has become one of our favorites and so easy to make.    I prepare my Ranchero Sauce and always have that in the refrigerator.  When making extra, I use my Tilda Vacuum 550 and freeze the extra sauce in Ball wide mouth pint jars.   After sealing, freezes very well for three months. Along with this hearty breakfast, I have fell in love with Ocean Spray Diet Blueberry Pomegranate juice.  

Dig in and remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day if you are enjoying a weight loss lifestyle!
