Simplifying Breakfast

Our life has taken a few turns along the way since my husband and I have gotten married.  We are constantly trying to cut out stressors and simplify what we can.  Today I'll be sharing a few recipes to simplify breakfast.  You can find many recipes similar to this that have bread in them.   However, I've been trying to go gluten free and these fit the bill better.   I have not made any of these yet but do plan on making 1-2 of these per week and then rotate them.  In our family, we eat high protein in the morning instead of lots of grains/fruits because our body works much better this way.

I found this picture online :)  Looks like a breakfast casserole with a hashbrown base.

Breakfast Casserole - this recipes uses hashbrowns as the base with eggs, cheddar cheese, veggies and breakfast meat.

Asparagus Breakfast Cassreole - this recipes uses hashbrowns as the base with eggs, asparagus, meat and swiss cheese.


By using the above ideas, I think I'll go ahead and try these variations as well.  I'm thinking if I saute the onion, pepper and other veggies ahead of time, it will taste better too.


Bacon Cheeseburger Breakfast Casserole - using hashbrowns as the base with eggs, cheddar cheese, hamburger that has been fried with onion (and drained), and crumbled bacon.  I'm also thinking sliced tomatoes on the top would be yummy!

Southwestern Breakfast Casserole - using hashbrowns as the base with eggs, sausage, diced chilies, diced onion, diced tomatoes, and colby jack cheese.

Mexican Breakfast Casserole - using hashbrowns as the base with eggs, leftover taco meat, garlic, onions and cheese.

If you have any other yummy ideas, please feel free to send them along.  Here's to a simplified morning!

Awesome! I've been trying to find/think of things I could freeze for David to take to work and eat for breakfast. Some of these would work well!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than many online.

Recommended Netflix Movies

I often see facebook posts of people looking for good, wholesome movies to watch with their spouse or their family.  Because of that,  I thought I'd make a list of netflix movies that our family has enjoyed, found educational, etc...  If you have some you think I should add to this list, leave me a comment.  I'll be updating periodically. Here goes!! Family Movies: The Hiding Place *The Last Sin Eater The Ultimate Gift *The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry Flywheel *Saving Sarah Cain Letters to God - this is a tear gripper! Faith Like Potatoes - caution here is the language used by an unsaved man in the beginning. End of the Spear *Chariots of Fire Facing the Giants *Beyond the Gates of Splendor Chronicles of Narnia One Night with the King *A Vow to Cherish The Inn of the Sixth Happiness Little House on the Prairie Swiss Family Robinson 17 Kids and Counting - this is the Duggar series.  I love this!  It's so inspiration!

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids.  If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would.  For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher.  I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags.  If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea.  I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days.  Below are some benefits of each of these teas.  Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant.  Spearmint is generally a better option.
