If you were to ask me what my favorite meal to eat out is I would have to say breakfast. I don’t know what it is, but my heart just yearns for all breakfast item. Eggs, crepes, waffles, pancakes… I heart them all!
Usually the waffles and pancakes are what catch my attention on every breakfast menu, but every once in a while I tempt myself with the ‘skillet’ portion of the menu and began to drool. The ‘skillets’ typically consist of a home fries base that is topped with an egg scramble and paired with meat and toast. Yummy!
Today I thought it would be fun to recreate one of those fabulous breakfast skillets for dinner tonight.
I started with a base of homemade sweet potato & kale home fries.
Sweet Potato & Kale Home Fries
- 1/2 Sweet Potato
- 3 generous handfuls of kale
- 1 tablespoon Garlic
- Pinch Red Pepper Flakes
- Pinch Oregano
- Mushrooms
- 1/2 small yellow onion
Start with a hot skillet that has been sprayed with oil, add the sweet potato that has been cut into small cubes, and once potatoes have a nice color (about 5 minutes) add the seasonings, mushrooms, and onion. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat and add the kale just a few minutes before serving.
To top the home fries I made a two egg scramble with artichoke & sundried tomatoes.
A slice of cheese to top everything off.
Pumpkin nut bread.
Nom Nom Nom.
This may not have been as greasy or rich as a traditional breakfast skillet, but it was still just as amazing to me. 
For dessert I dug into my dark chocolate easter bunny and strawberries.
My afternoon snack consisted of 1/2 a cup of Maddie Wishes this was her Cereal and 1/2 cup of Cheerios.
Confession: I have a tooth ache. 
(it’s my back molar)
Another Confession: I haven’t been to the dentist in almost two years.
A Final Confession: The dentist scares me.
Something tells me I need to get over that last one. I am hoping in making this very public announcement that you all will encourage me to make a dentist appointment tomorrow morning. I’ve been putting this off too long!
