Sausage & Egg Zucchini Breakfast Boats

For my friends who are looking for a low-carb breakfast, look no further!!! I’m not sure you can have a breakfast that’s any more low-carb than this!!!

Zucchini, sausage, eggs, little cheese. Topped with some fresh tomatoes and chives. Mmmmmmmm.

Oh, and funny snippet about zucchini…

All of my boys have had some kind of speech delay/issue as they’ve grown through the toddler years. I’ve sat through many a speech therapy session and have all kinds of resources around the house to help them with their speech. My 3rd son is 5+ and while he didn’t have some of the early speech issues and language barriers to catch up on, he does have some articulation issues now. We are working through them, fast and furiously. But every time we serve zucchini at dinner (it’s my oldest’s favorite vegetable), he always pipes up with “Mom, do I have to eat a bite of ‘bikinis’?” They aren’t his fave, but he knows he has to eat one bite!

LOL – sweet thing calls zucchini – ‘bikinis’ – and it’s the most adorable thing ever!!! I’ve tried to get it on video, but haven’t yet!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled low-carb “brinner”…
