You now have a reason to always have some bacon cooked and ready to crumble ;) I prefer to bake bacon in batches, and yes...I freeze it after it's been baked. (Pat/drain it well and let it cool completely before freezing.) This loaded potato is my favorite - because it's loaded...with flavor and it will hold well you until lunch! Mix it all up, microwave for a few … [Read more...]
13 Freezer Friendly Breakfast Recipes
I'm not a morning person. Like, at all. I once was. My husband likes to remind me that he "thought he married a morning person" because we went on a mountain biking date at 5 am when we were dating. I told him that I was a morning person...until the boys came along. And then, I stopped sleeping...sorta. Then I started sleeping again, and now there are those nights that … [Read more...]

I didn't realize I'd never shared an Egg Drop Soup … [Read more...]

Southwestern Frittata
When hunting around the Paleo-blog-osphere this past month, I came across many 'no-brainer-I-can-make-these-for-5-bucks' recipes, including this one. Frittatas are great budget-friendly Paleo meals because they use simple ingredients, are heavy on the protein and could work for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a midnight snack. The only main difference between a 'regular' … [Read more...]

Frittatas seem to be another popular Paleo type of recipe. Reason being, they are naturally free of grains (usually!) and you can throw just about any kind of veggies in with the eggs and you've got a delicious meal. I've made frittatas with Sweet Potato & Zucchini, with Bacon, "Lettuce" and Tomato. Frittatas are so versatile and so delicious. And super easy to … [Read more...]
