Recipe for paleoish frittata.

I told someone on Instagram that I would post this recipe. I need to actually do it before I forget. I get nervous when I post recipes because most of the time I just throw a bunch of stuff together and sometimes it turns out amazing. I get scared that someone will try to make if and it will be super gross or something and I will feel bad that they invested their time and ingredients. I will try my hardest to describe accurately what I did. 


What you need 

-chopped chicken sausage (I like aidells brand) about 3 I think. 
-1 sweet potato chopped into small pieces
-1 leek, chopped
-1 head of broccoli cut I to small florets
-7ish eggs
-coconut oil
-salt, chili powder, and cumin. 
 
The first thing I did was brown some chopped chicken sausage in some coconut oil in an oven safe pan.  Remove sausage from pan then add 1 whole sweet potatoe (cut up into little pieces). Add a pinch of salt and a little more oil and cook that stirring frequently for a couple minutes, add one cut up leek and 1 cut up head of broccoli. Add a pinch of salt again. Mix about 7 (random number but it was all the eggs I had) eggs in a bowl with a little chili powder and cumin. Add some more oil to the pan and then add the eggs. Move they pan around a little to evenly distribute the eggs. Now here is the part that makes it paleoish and not strict paleo, I sprinkled some Italian cheese blend on top.  You could probably put some cashew meal or finely food processed cauliflower on top instead and it will still have that nutty/cheesy flavor. Then place it the Oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. You want to eggs to just set up but not overcook around the edges. 

Getting it out of the pan is a little tricky. I suppose you don't even need to do that just cut pieces right out of the pan. It got Sean to help me and we just loosened the edges and slid it out using spatulas. 

This is a fun recipe because you can play with you ingredients a bit it it will still be delicious. Try it with asparagus, or a little curry (if you haven't tried curry in eggs you haven't lived!!) You could use bacon instead of sausage. The possibilities are endless!! It made ordinary ingredients seem a little fancy, which is perfect for a Sunday morning breakfast 😆

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su...

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t...

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte...
