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!

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...

What to wear Wednesday

Does  anyone else have a kiddo that is super picky about clothes???  I have 2...so far.  My oldest is picky about fit and feel, which makes it hard to shop for her.  Up until recently she would say that her biggest enemy in life were ‘jeans & mustard’.... first world problems! But that being said, when you take jeans out of the equation it really limits your outfit options. I mean jeans match everything. I have found the solution!  Target makes a super soft jegging in 3 different washes. She wears, loves and doesn’t complain. Light Wash Adjustable waist. Must have in my opinion for growing kids! They are on sale right now, buy 1 get 1 50%!!! That’s a great deal. You can find them here .

Monday Must Have - Organizing Products from Amazon

The next three weeks, I’m going to be focusing all of my posts on back to school efforts. Today is all about a couple of organization products I have picked up over the past couple of weeks.  If you have been inside my house lately....you know I need all the organization help I can get! One of the things that I always do is re-organize my kids closets. This summer I’ve got a step further. If you follow me on IG, you know that we’re in a big room transition right now. Our oldest daughter turned 10 the spring, and it is time for her to have her own room. She has previously shared a room with our seven-year-old daughter. We moved our seven-year-old in with her little sister, allowing our oldest to have her own room. This means there has been a need for organization on all fronts. Moving our middle daughter into the littlest’s room, the closet storage situation was the most critical. Specifically shoes. I hunted and hunted on Amazon to find the perfect solution.  I ...
