Do you eat breakfast for breakfast or do you prefer
breakfast for dinner?
I love breakfast for dinner; sometimes I’ll have breakfast
for lunch, but I rarely eat breakfast for breakfast. Truth be told, I prefer above all else,
cereal for breakfast. Hot cereal or cold
cereal, if it’s not served in a bowl with milk and eaten with a spoon, I don’t
want it for breakfast…so there! Even if
we’re going out for brunch, I will eat a small bowl of cereal when I wake up so
that brunch really just becomes early lunch.
I feel especially grateful that Billy also loves breakfast
for dinner, cuz I know that there are a lot of fellas out there that consider eggs
or pancakes breakfast food only!
So I made a Southwest Sweet Potato Hash, and we had it for
dinner, and it was satisfying, delicious and nutritious. It’s got vitamin rich sweet potatoes, fiber
filled black beans, tasty green chilies, protein packed eggs, and nutrient crammed creamy avocado which also has good fats. There
is so much flavor going on in this hash that the eggs don’t even need cheese;
coming from a cheese lover that’s sayin’ sumpthin!
You know what else I love about making this dish, is that I
used only one skillet, so that this lazy daisy has almost no dishes to wash!
Here’s what you do.
Now add a little olive oil to the skillet... |
...As well as some diced onion, season with salt and pepper and
sauté until the sweet potatoes have browned and are tender.
Remove the cooked sweet potatoes to a platter and keep warm.
|
I just use the same skillet to heat some black beans through. |
Put the black beans and some diced green Ortega chilies over the sweet potatoes and keep that warm while you cook some eggs. |
I like scrambled egg with a hash, but you may cook the eggs however you gosh darned please! |
Put the eggs over the sweet potatoes and black beans and serve with some avocado slices and/or salsa...Yummo! |
