This should really be called “I don’t know what to make so I used anything I had in my fridge-throw together”. Because that’s what it is. I had a ton of leftover junk in my fridge, I got hungry, so I utilized. I’m one awesome utilizin’ son of a b.
I played kickball again this week. And sucked ass. The good looking men on my team were most likely disappointed. Especially Tommy who asked me to be on his team because he thought I was athletic. Poor guy. He never knew what was coming. Bruises on my ankle. That’s what was coming. And strikes. I suck at kickball. At least there are extremely good looking females on our team, as well. Cool ass, good looking females to be exact. It’s funny, even though every time we go into the outfield we need 4 women playing, the guys still have to yell at us to get onto the field. The rules never change…but we all stand there on the side hoping to go unnoticed. Never happens. Bummer.
I want to do fun things this weekend. Other than laundry. Fun things meaning sit in the park and read the second book of the Hunger Games while people watching in between. So creepy. So weird. But sounds sooooo right.
Maybe I’ll make desserts too. I’m trying to limit my dessert intake leading up to Regionals. I’m pretty much trying to limit my food intake for a while. My body and hormones have been a bit screwed up for a while now and are finally getting back to normal (hopefully), but I’ve found that I don’t really need to eat a ton of food to thrive from. Therefore, my meals are somewhat sad looking. And I feel deprived. Screw you body! SCREW YOU!
Easy Breakfast Scramble
- Yield: 2-4 1x
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato, diced
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 poblano pepper, sliced
- 1 container of sliced mushrooms (about 6–8 oz)
- 1/2lb grass fed ground beef
- 5 eggs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon choice of fat (I used duck fat)
- 1 tablespoon herbes de provence
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice and dice everything so it’s ready to go.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add your choice of fat and minced garlic to the pan.
- When the garlic becomes fragrant, add your sweet potatoes, yellow onion, poblano pepper, and mushrooms. Cover and let cook for around 3 minutes.
- Then add your beef and break up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cover and let meat cook through- about 3-5 minutes.
- Once beef is almost cooked through, crack yours eggs directly into the pan and add your herbes de provence and salt and pepper.
- Use your spoon to break up the eggs and help them cook through as well as incorporate all the seasonings.
- Once eggs are cooked through, taste to make sure it has enough salt and seasonings and add more if needed!
- Then serve!

I’ve limited my “paleo baking” to Saturday’s only. That way I can try out new things and take all my goods to the team WOD at 10 am. I find this keeps me from eating almond flour/coconut flour concoctions all weekend long… And I look forward to it !
Yeah I have to do the same thing. Take it to someone else right away.
I pretty much live off of scrambles like this! I usually use turkey burger or sausage or whatever I have but I love it!
It’s the best way to eat!
yay for duck fat! One of my favorites to cook with. This meal looks like what I make most nights of the week- I’m a very throw together meal person. And your kickball experience… so reminds me of high school when all the girls would stand to the side and pray the ball didn’t come flying their direction.. guess not much changes as we grow up haha. At least your having fun (I think) !
Duck fat is the best to cook with!
In my house we call dishes like this ‘refrigerator Velcro’…they are the BEST! An awesome way to use what you got :0)
So true!
It’s a depressing thing when you realize you don’t really “need” as much food as you “want.” Sigh.
Where do you find your white sweet potatoes? I’ve only come across orange ones.
Ditto on the sweet potatoes… and do they taste different?
I think they taste about the same, maybe not quite as sweet
Totes depressing. I get those sweet potatoes at Sunflower Market but I think you can find them at Whole Foods!
I thought it was a great idea to start a kickball team when I lived in NY. It was there that I was reminded, not only do I not have depth perception, but I suck at kickball as well. One day the other team was short on players and I allowed them to use some random little kids who were hanging out at the park as subs. Those kids kicked our asses and the team won and my team hated me. True story.
Congrats on making it to regionals!
Thanks so much Jen!
Looks great!… much more visually appealing than the egg scramble I made last night. [Sometimes it has to be about function, not flash.]
Serves 1-2.
Could be worse – you could have joined a dodge-ball team. I don’t understand this recent trend of competitive PE games. OY who knows — but I do know that I am going to try this tonight! Hope my scramblin’s turn out. If not the best culinary trick I learned from a pro chef….”hot sauce hides a multitude of culinary sins”
For real, dodgeball is NOT FUN. at all. period. So true, hot sauce is true amazingness
Being good at kickball is overrated! BTW, I figured out the protein shake thing. 3 parts coconut milk, 1 part water 🙂
Perfecto!
I find the white sweet potatoes at my local Kroger, hope that helps 🙂
thanks Trycha!
