Breakfast Bowl

I've done several bowl recipes.  I am partial to them. Portion control, easy eating and delicious.  As I have been all about back to school prep lately... this recipe seemed like a no brainer..

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen sweet potato tots
Eggs
4-5 slices of bacon
1/3-1/2 roll of breakfast sausage
4-5 mini sweet peppers chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Smoked paprika
Garlic paste
Grated cheese (I used a smoky spicy variety)


I picked up some sweet potato tots at my local  market. I used the sweet potato tots as the base layer of my bowl. I cooked them as instructed on the bag. Mine called for 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. I love the balance of sweet they add to this bowl.  You could easy do fresh oven roasted sweet potatoes...but for me the time saver is a huge draw.

While those were in the oven,  I cooked some chopped up bacon in a skillet. While that browned I chopped up some sweet peppers. I also used some breakfast sausage that I browned a few days ago. I used it in another recipe and didn’t use it all. For this recipe I used about 1/3 of a roll.

Once the bacon is crispy, remove onto a paper towel to drain, I poured off most of the grease out of the pan (into a container). Cook the peppers in the remaining bacon grease. As it starts to brown, add 1/2 tsp of garlic paste, salt, pepper & smoked paprika. I added the pre browned sausage to the peppers, just to re-warm it.  Once everything is cooked through, slide it onto a plate. Carefully wipe out the skillet w/ a dry paper towel so you can use the same skillet for your over medium egg.




Crack you egg in the skillet let cook for a minute until it starts to come together flip once. You don’t want to over cook, the egg yolk becomes a delicious sauce for your bowl! For my kids I will probably just to scrambled eggs. But the over medium egg in this recipe is divine!

Eggs only take a short time to cook, so after you crack your eggs in the pan, start to assemble the bowls. Sweet potato tots, sausage & peppers, a few pieces of crispy bacon then add your eggs then top with grated cheese!



This meal is perfect for BFD - Breakfast for Dinner - It is filling, high protein and best of all easy.  It is a crowd pleaser with sweet, salty and savory!

Monday Must Have - - - Closet Clothing Dividers for Kids

Mom's Take back your morning!!!! If you are like me and have multiple school age children, mornings can be stressful and time consuming.  The fight about clothes and hurrying to get dressed in the morning can be endless and infuriating.  I envy those of you whose children wear uniforms to school.  But regardless of if they wear everyday clothes or uniforms this method is priceless. This also allows momma to see if everything they need for the week is clean and ready.  I also hang practice clothes or jersey's with the day of the week of the game etc. I started this when my oldest was in preschool.  It allows us organization and frees our mornings up.  When I started doing this, I used a hanging sweater organizer.  This was a good fit for the closet at the time and it worked for our space.  Now, my oldest two children share a room and closet, so this method works better for us. I ordered colorful set of clothing organizers from Amazon . ...

Boundaries - - - Time for Childhood

Boundaries is a tricky subject matter. I think some people have a natural propensity for strong boundaries in their lives and some people have to work harder to establish them. When I say boundaries, I am specifically talking about ones ability to establish specific limits and guidelines for certain relationships and activities. I have a natural ability for well established boundaries. Many times friends and acquaintances have come to me seeking advice & recommendation on improving this area. I definitely don't say this to toot my own horn, but to share with you what I know about my successes and areas I still need to work on. One of the reasons boundary discussion can be complicated is that there are so many facets; emotional boundaries, physical boundaries, relationships boundaries & time boundaries... just to name a few. I could write an entire blog post on each facet of boundaries. And maybe I will get to all the points eventually. When you are a momma you ...

Cheeseburger Bowls

New Recipe! Trying to get back on track with eating. I’ve been like a 12 year old in the gas station market since school has been out! I’m attempting to be more carb conscious again. So I thought I’d work up a new summer recipe. What says summer more than burgers?!? You can certainly go the more traditional route and just 86 the bun or wrap it in lettuce. I wanted something even easier and more time friendly. I notice in summer it becomes a buffet at dinner... eating between sports, activities etc. So being able to make a plate as you need is ideal. Ingredients: Ground beef (I used a pound...easy to adjust for more or less) Season beef with: garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce Chopped Iceberg Lettuce Chopped Pickles Chopped Tomatoes Shredded Cheese (Chopped Onions would also be great... but my crew isn’t a big fan) Sesame Seeds *Really any toppings you love on top of a burger would be absolutely great! That is why ...
