And My Favorite of These...Breakfast!

The only BS I need in my life is breakfast and squats!

Recently while on my usual Pinterest peruse, I stumbled upon breakfast prepping. Now, I am NOT a morning person. In fact, I'm stunned I've gone this long at my new job without being late! Sad, but true! Even though I don't care for the anthem of the alarm clocks, I absolutely love breakfast foods! Pancakes, omelets, bacon (duh!), and of course, COFFEE!!! However, I've been severely lacking in that meal time due to the 5am wake up time so I decided that I would try this breakfast prep for the next two weeks! I'm super excited!!
Will be me tonight!!
The pin about breakfast was the basis for my prep but I tweaked it a bit to make it my own! One thing I didn't change was the idea to do this in these awesome new "Reynolds" microwavable to go containers! My name is already on it, literally!
Found in the tupperware aisle for under $3!
The ingredients in this prep are clean, inexpensive and will maintain until you heat and eat 'em!
  • 3lbs of red petite potatoes
  • 1 bag of turkey sausage crumbles (I used Jimmy Dean's)
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1 cup of Mexican cheese
  • 1/2 cup of salsa 
Alright let's get this going! So preheat your oven to a 400 degrees while you cut your red potatoes into 1" cubes. Make sure you wash those babies! Toss those cubes into a baking dish and toss with olive oil, I use Pam Olive Oil Spray so they are evenly coated!
 Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, toss again, then finish cooking them for 20 more minutes. Keep in mind that you will be reheating these during the week prior to eating so if they are 100% done, that's okay!

Next, I layer the turkey sausage crumbles. I do not measure out how much I do in each container, eye ball it! You know how much you'll want!

Then ya got your eggs! Let me tell ya, this is the first time I've ever scrambled and cooked 9 eggs at one time! I added about 1/4 cup of water for extra fluff, normally I would do milk but i didn't know how it would hold. As I eat these this week, I'll tweak it if it needs it. Do not overcooked the eggs, you want them a little underdone. May look gross but again, you will be reheating!! Do you really want overdone, chewy eggs?
I love Mexican food, all of it! I also love adding it to anything regardless of what it is! A little extra favor! So add topped my eggs with some salsa!
What I love so much about recipes is making them your own! Add avocado, sour cream, peppers, onions, whatever! Take a recipe and use it as a guide, go from there!
Sprinkle some cheese on these things and you are done! Less than an hour to make and will probably take about 30 minutes off of your morning routine! Per Pinterest, it is recommended to reheat these for 30-45 seconds depending on how done you want them.

All done and good to go! I'm seriously so excited to try these in the morning! Ha! I enjoy being prepared for the week. Planning ahead will make my morning easier, keep me full throughout the morning, keep my BG numbers steady, and help me stay on my fitness track! If you try this and add your own flare, comment and let me know!! I love new things!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

South in your Mouth

This morning, like every Saturday morning, I get up with coffee-induced strength and make my sweetheart breakfast. He's a lover of pancakes and sausage but ever since we moved in together, I have been slowly expanding his palette. I probably have one of the pickiest men in the South! I think I've complained about this before, I'm sure some other ladies can agree! Well, our house has been quite a whirlwind and so this morning I wanted to make a hearty breakfast, with the cold front coming in, today definitely called for it! Bradley recently joined the Eustis Gun Club so he wanted to be up bright and early to get down there. The things I will do for this man! I tell ya! However, there is always time for a Saturday afternoon nap so I got up after morning snuggles and him obviously turning the heat on (let's face it, I wasn't getting up when it was 64° in the house, he's a smart man!). I decided to make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy! Now, I know most Sout...
