My kitchen is no stranger to eggs.
Shortly after starting this blog, it dawned on me that I really do eat an excessive amount of eggs. So I started thinking about possible substitutions I could make. Something healthy, clean, and full of protein. Something filling and delicious that gave me energy without spiking my temperamental blood sugar.
I searched high and low and ended up right where I started.
Eggcellent.
One of the MANY things I LOVE about eggs is that I can make them in a big batch. Typically, I cook up a 5 serving egg scramble Sunday night and that serves as my breakfast #1 for the workweek. Each serving of my scrambled eggs consists of 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites, which I season up with S&P, Red Pepper Flakes, and some Franks Red Hot.
I was feeling lazy Sunday night, so I ended up pushing back the egg-makin til Monday night this week. After work I headed to the grocery store to get the goods. I typically have some roasted broccoli alongside my eggs, but made a last-minute produce aisle decision to use up some of the frozen veggies in the freezer instead.
Low and behold I didn’t have any frozen veggies (dangit). You know, I actually think this was co-worker karma come back to haunt me. Recently, I discovered that roasted broccoli heated up in the community microwave makes the ENTIRE floor smell like butt. Apparently, I was oblivious to this smell for the last 9 months… Whoops! I guess it’s just pay back for those afternoon snackers who always burn their popcorn in the microwave leaving us with a 3pm funk. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! 😉
Luckily, I had 1 lonely large potato on hand (leftover from my Zuppa Tosacana). Eggs and potatoes. Can’t go wrong with that!
I tossed the potato into a bowl and seasoned it up with a drizzle of EVOO, some S&P, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper:
Then I popped them into a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes to get their roast on. Once everything was done cooking, i evenly divided the goods up into four containers:

My go to breakfast used to be yogurt or string cheese. But I am a total egg and broccoli convert. LOVE IT! Stinky but oh so good.
Hahaha... the stinkier the better :)
Hey Mary!!
My go to breakfast has been a bowl of oats with a yogurt and a banana. I typically mix in 1 egg white into 1/2 cup oats with some water and micrwave for about 2 minutes. Then I add a banana and mix a Chobani yogurt into it. I also make some shakes, or egg whites with oats! For some reason I ALWAYS have oatmeal! I guess it's really filling for me. Especially after my morning workouts I definitely need carbs to reload on my energy!
Have a great day!
I've never tried eggs in my oats before! I like the idea!
You are so organized! I typically go with quick fixes like cereal and overnight oats. With this weather, a hot breakfast would be awesome, I need some eggs in my life!
