italian egg bake

I have been sick and crabby [real crabby] for the past week. A scratchy throat turned into a really bad head cold and cough. I haven’t been honoring my body with my workouts…it’s really hard for me to stay still for an entire day, let alone multiple times per week.

I have been doing light workouts and each time regret it. I tell myself that I am feeling better…but I’m not. I have been getting lots and lots of sleep, which is good. Tonight I am suppose to teach a sculpt class after work and I have decided that I am not going to participate. Usually I do most of the class because I find that motivates my students more, but I think I am going to have to sit this one out.Let’s just hope my voice holds its own!Okay no more crabby talk. I mad a bad ass recipe this weekend. I was inspired by a dish Linley made a couple weeks ago…I call it…Italian Egg Bake.

It’s a mix between a scramble and a bake. The bottom is composed of sweet/rustic potatoes and onion. On top we have farm fresh eggs (straight from Kansas), italian sausage, and goat cheese.

Can I get a….”dayuuummmm.”

Every time Blake’s Dad, Step Mom, and Sisters come to visit (or visa versa) we walk away with like 8 dozen farm fresh eggs. I love that they are all different sizes! Some of them have two yolks, too!

I am really excited to have this for my lunch this week. I am also excited that I only have to pack 4 lunches this week….I am taking this Friday off because Blake and I have a wedding in his hometown in Kansas. MORE EGGS FOR ME!

Yum-diddly-umption.

Now that is an egg bake scramble.

Next time I am adding spinach and sun dired tomatoes. BAM.
