Caramel Apple Bread Pudding
Oh, you guys!
This recipe.
I think it’s my new favorite.
I know I’ve said this before, but I nearly ate the whole thing in one sitting. It’s just so perfect.
I had to fight Chuck for the last bites. I won.

Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes
Oh man, this weather. It’s 70 degrees one day and freezing the next, and then theres crazy day-long storms in between. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a cool morning that turns into a warm afternoon. It’s one of my favorite parts of fall, but when whole weeks are mood swinging worse than my 3-month-old, it gets a little annoying….
Chuck’s Shredded Potato Hash Browns
Ok guys, I’m letting you in on a big secret today. This 5 ingredient preparation of the humble potato id quite possibly my absolute favorite thing ever. So much so, that I make Chuck make it for me every single weekend that we are home. He is the house breakfast chef, after all….
Spinach & Feta Egg Bake
Get healthy with this easy and delicious Spinach and Feta Breakfast Egg Bake.
So you’ve heard me wax on about the lack of home cooked food in our lives at present I’m sure, well that diet proved to be worse for us than we thought, both having gotten sick the same week. I’m still working on getting my stomach back to normal, of course traveling for work, and finally making it out for camping didn’t really help in that area. They did offer a much needed break from the tornado of a house we are still working on.
Now we are on a quest to get back on track and especially get in shape for this wedding that is now roughly 6 weeks away. I can’t even believe that. I just can’t, but it’s happening.
Back to the topic at hand.
Getting back on track, to me means meal prep and working out. I’ve been plenty active, my sore back from box moving and scrubbing proves that, but what I need now is a full body workout. I need to build some more muscle, and eat lean healthy food again.
I’m doing pretty good on the goal that I made at the beginning of the year to eat breakfast. It was hard to begin with, since I’m usually nauseas in the morning (nope not pregnant something I’ve had since forever) but I’m starting to move past that. Premade breakfasts help. I can grab them and go straight to work heat them up and eat them there, when my stomach is more settled.
I’ve been looking for a healthier (read less bread & meat) option than my usual breakfast sandwich and have been really loving Greek style omelets. I decided to turn these omelets into an egg bake because that travels so much better. You just pull it out the fridge and cut it like a piece of pie, it’s delicious, easy, full of green power, and protein. What more can you ask for?
