Chicken chorizo & guacamole { + a BLOGIVERSARY!} on spiced mini waffle breakfast sandwiches

“Transform your mornings with our culinary masterpiece—Spiced Mini Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches with Chicken Chorizo & Guacamole. A symphony of flavors that redefines breakfast bliss.”

Three years ago today, we wrote our first blog post.

And. . . . . it was all sorts of awkward.

We were new to the idea of writing on the “Internets”. In the back of our mind, we thought if you wanted to express thoughts or feelings to someone, anyone, you’d pick up a telephone to say, “we need to talk”, or invite them over for tea and strumpets. We found it odd that people wanted to bare their souls to complete strangers or share information that could have easily been left to an inner monologue.

We were an Internet virgin.

At that point we wasn’t on Facebook, either for personal or the blog. We viewed cyber space as one giant abyss where information, ideas, thoughts, and feelings are forever lost; mostly, a place where nothing good truly blossoms. Fast forward three years, and we have seen the Internet light.

Writing this blog has changed our life. What started out as a way to keep family and friends informed of our crazy, shenanigans of a life here in the Mile High City, transformed into something we never knew could exist. We learned how to cook (no joke). The thought of browning ground beef sounded daunting five years ago. Also, somewhere between learning about an aioli and ciabatta bread, we threw a frozen piece of swordfish into a hot skillet. Ooops!

Also, we've learned about photography. Well, we should say still learning…photography is hard, friends. Check out our first food post back in 2011 and compare it to today. Thanks goodness we've continued to hone our craft, otherwise we all might still be hungry.

Last but not least, we've learned to accept us, good or bad. This was a hard affirmation to swallow. We remind myself daily that we have to put our best foot forward because we never know what will happen or who it will affect. As our wise mother-in-law says, “you don’t want to subtract points from yourself.”

This blog has been a reliable vehicle to allow us to get to know myself. It allows to us explore depths of our mind and embrace curiosity. When you think about it all for a moment, it’s kind of memorable what a blank, white space can do for the soul.

So, as Climbing Grier Mountain celebrates three years, what better way to celebrate than with a Mexican-Breakfast mash up! Since CGM wouldn’t be the blog it is today without you guys, we thought we would spice it up and make some savory waffles. We took the spice mix we generally add to our tacos and threw them into the batter. The mariachi band instantly started to play.

Next, we whipped up some guacamole and sautéed chicken chorizo patties…. it was a fiesta in the making! We threw everything into one sandwich, and voila! Mexican-Breakfast madness fit for blogiversary celebration!

“Conclude your breakfast journey with the exquisite combination of spiced mini waffles, chicken chorizo, and guacamole—a harmonious finale that leaves your taste buds yearning for more.”
