Oh my lawd, it’s already Wednesday. My life has been taken over with appointments and late night baseball games. No, I will not tell you which team I am cheering for. Mostly because I don’t cheer for teams, but also because sports teams make people say rude things. Like “I thought you were a great person until I found out you were a _______ fan.” Like, what? That’s probably one of the dumbest things you can say. Same reason I don’t talk about religion or politics on my website. You want someone to get real d*ck head opinionated on ya, talk about sports, Obama or the God you pray to. Not touching it. No way, no how. I have better things to talk about. Like puppies. And new restaurants.
Speaking of new restaurants, I’m trying out a few this week. You see, sometimes you get in a rut when it comes to creating recipes. Ok, wait, sometimes I get in a rut. I see other food bloggers who never run out of ideas and I just don’t get it. Because I get in random ruts all the time. And since I came up with around 66 recipes for my latest project in a little over two weeks, I need to find some inspiration. That’s where restaurants come into play. Denver is FULL with awesome restaurants. They are everywhere. Including Boulder. So I’m heading to Boulder today to try out a new paleo restaurant then trying another restaurant tomorrow in the Baker neighborhood. I’m guessing I’ll also be purchasing food somewhere on Halloween. I know that’s a lot of money to spend on food in a week, but I need ideas people. I need some help with flavor combinations or a meat that I haven’t tried cooking myself. Wish me luck.
I wish it could stay fall forever here in CO. Since I leave this weekend for Pittsburgh, I’m going to miss another week and a half here in CO. I just know that when I get back, there will probably be snow on the ground. Oh the sadness. I’m ok with snow, especially since we still live in an apartment so we don’t have to shovel, but I’m not really into the whole cold thing. That’s why I buy myself a new winter coat every year. It’s my way of developing a positive reinforcement about living in a snowy state. I don’t think reinforcement is the right word, but you get what I’m going for. A new coat or jacket makes winter worth it. And boots. Obviously. If you saw my instagram post about rearranging my closet, you know I have a brown boot obsession.
Ok, I can’t talk anymore, I have restaurants to eat at, baseball games to watch (meaning look at instagram 96% of the time), and political commercials to despise. Is it election day yet so those d*ck head commercials can end?? I swear, those commercials teach children to talk sh*t about each other. Crap, I started talking about politics, I gotta knock that sh*t off. Kbye!

This is a great, easy and tweak-able recipe! I was out of spinach so I incorporated a bunch of zucchini ribbons into the meat/onion mixture…and instead of dicing the sweet potatoes, I sliced them into thin rounds and baked them, then layered them across the top with a little grass fed cheese. Yum! We’ll be whipping this up (or a variation of it!) regularly.
I make this recipe a LOT. I use the sweet potatoes, diced ham, red onion, broccoli and yes a little cheese mixed in. I do have a question though – could you make it up the night before and bake it in the morning or best to do all at once?
Thanks,
Donna
i would just mix the eggs last minute before you bake
If y’all are worried about sausage make your own with ground pork or turkey or use ground beef….put in the spices you like( fennel seeds a must) and make a bunch at once to freeze extra. So much better to have control over what you eat then to buy it, no?
So easy. So delicious. So many leftovers! I made this on Saturday and am still eating it today. Usually I get annoyed with or sick of leftovers. I have had no problem eating this reheated every day for breakfast. YUM!! Seems like a recipe that you can add different veggies to as well and it will taste just as good (I credit in part to the coconut oil that I use). Just YUM!
OMG!! I have found my new favorite. It’s hard to find one this healthy!!
Made this bad boy Easter morning while company was in… It was a hit for sure!
Making this again soon. Did had some left over, and froze it. Will try it, but feel quite sure it will be as good as if just made!
I think the coconut oil just sets this thing off!!!! Oh man, I wish I had some right NOW!!!
Thx for this share!!
This recipe was sooo good!! My family and I very much enjoyed. Thank you!!
so glad you liked it, jeanna!
Can you freeze this and reheat later? Like cook r entirely and then freeze and reheat when needed?
i haven’t found that eggs freeze and reheat well so i don’t do it myself, but you can try it!
This is soooo good! I added a half bell pepper bc I didn’t have much onion, and it was AMAZING! Will definitely make again.
So simple. So tasty. I did it and still eat it today. It is very convenient to cook, divide into portions and take with you as an option food for work. I think even about freezing it for later
glad you liked it halina!
Easiest, make ahead breakfast – so good!
so glad you liked it Lauren!
