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!

Motherhood

Motherhood has the unique ability to expose our deepest weaknesses as well as highlight personal substance you never knew was there. In the trenches of the days of no sleep, spit up covered shirts and endless dirty diapers you discover the deepest part of who you are. One thing I have learned in the last almost 10 years of motherhood, is that knowing who I am is vital to my success. As Americans, I see great fear in understanding one’s own weaknesses. I know the opposite to be true. I see strength in your own full self discovery. We see women that look a certain way and are wearing certain things and we think that we have to imitate that to establish our identity. I see women everyday who are stretched to the brink, trying to do it all. As mothers, it’s important to relay to our children that weaknesses are a part of who we are, we are not defined by those rather we are defined by our strengths. When we truly know who we are, we can feel more comfortable making choices t...

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 . ...

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class.  I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn.  I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package.  I dyed mine pink for the occasion.  Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels.  Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...
