Loaded Breakfast Bowl
I am crazy about food, and for that, I make no apologies! And although I love food, in general, breakfast foods are my jam! When I was younger I was all about the sweet stuff like freshly baked cinnamon rolls with strawberry cream cheese icing or a sky-high stack of buttery, fluffy in the middle and crispy around the edges pancakes drizzled with my favorite Michigan maple syrup could always get the business.
However, now it is the savory foods that make me drool, and I enjoy breakfast bowls because like most recipes there are no hard and fast rules about the ingredients. For me, it’s all about what I have readily available, like:
- farm fresh eggs, avocado, lots of veggies like sweet, mild, or hot peppers, squash, sweet potatoes, zucchini, kale, collard greens, red or sweet onions, tons of garlic, and fresh parsley or cilantro
- crispy bacon, spicy sausage, chorizo, pork belly, leftover turkey, steak, and chicken or salmon
- grains like brown rice, quinoa, wheat berries, hemp hearts, buckwheat, or bulgar
Basically, there are so many directions you can go when you create breakfast bowls that you will love!
Skillet Potatoes get the business when you add spicy Italian sausage with zucchini and green bell peppers!
Our Loaded Breakfast Bowls are filled with items I had on hand, and they turned out pretty good! Lots of veggies with protein from Italian sausage and fresh farm eggs. If you are eating Keto skip the potatoes and add roasted cauliflower, rutabaga or turnips to this recipe and it will be a great addition to your weekly meal plan. But if you’re vegetarian skip the sausage. And if eating vegan is your thing subtract the sausage and eggs and add garlicky chickpeas or herb pan roasted tofu! The bottom line is, do you. And remember, almost any recipe can be adjusted to meet your specific goals and individual needs. Until next time, see you in the kitchen!
