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!

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence.  Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup is an absolute classic.   Homemade tomato soup is  delicious and so easy, it also happens to be one of my family’s favorites. It’s easy to make on the stove top. A good heavy bottom pot, wooden spoon & immersion blender or regular blender. Ingredients: 1 medium onion 3-4 stalks of celery 6-7 carrots 1-2 tablespoons of butter Salt Pepper 1 tsp dried parsley 1 tsp dried basil 2 large cans or tomatoes  1 carton on chicken stock 1/2 cup Parmesan  Milk    or half & half  In a large pot, melt butter on medium high heat. Add large chunks of onion. Let get translucent or just a little browned. Then add celery and carrots. Large chunks is fin because this whole soup will get blended down. Season throughout cooking process. Stir regularly.  As veggies begin to soften add tomatoes. Stir well, put lid on and lower to medium/low heat. Let come to a boil stirring occasionally to avoid scalding...

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...
