New Breakfast Recipe, Lots of Clothing Pics, The Fabulous Sash, Recipe Fail and Twilight!!

Yesterday I had a hard time getting motivated. I didn’t sleep well – kept tossing and turning. Dang Sunday nights! I got in, got settled and ate a new breakfast we cooked yesterday, Real Mom Kitchen’s Country Breakfast Scramble. Here’s the recipe for FOUR servings:

This is one serving - fab!!

6 to 7 (medium sized) new red potatoes, cubed (29 ounces)
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 tbsp chopped green onions, sliced
4 slices turkey bacon (butterball)
½ cup fat-free cheddar cheese
2 tsp olive oil

Heat one inch water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan. Cut potatoes into cube and add to water. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper with fork. In a large skillet (or microwave!), cook bacon until crispy and remove from skillet. Add olive oil to skillet, then top with potatoes. Cook potatoes 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until light brown. Stir in green onions. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour egg mixture into skillet. As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist. Dice up cooked bacon. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Divide into four servings and serve.

We loved it! Super hearty and filling. If anything I may reduce potatoes by 4 ounces (total) to add in another bacon strip or two but honestly, I could eat it just like this and be happy! You could also cut the portions into 6 instead of 4 and serve with toast or yogurt or whateva. Love! Thanks, Real Mom Kitchen!

Then I worked, had a yogurt, had a dove chocolate… then I ditched the plan to walk 4 miles. I still felt kind of weak. :( I decided instead to shop more, hitting up Nordstrom and American Apparel! (sales; cheap stuff as per usual). I ended up with 4 Nordstrom dresses ($80 total!) and a skirt, outfit for Reuben, socks for Austin and a belt for me at American Apparel – fabulous! My friend Sue went with me and get this – when you spend $40 at Nordstrom you get an advanced ticket to see Twilight 2 at Phipps- random! So I got that… but I don’t want to go alone! Haha


Love the lanyard... so official. haha I gave Austin the Twilight branded chocolate!


I got back to work and had lunch, a new recipe… meh. It was Crock Pot Oriental chicken and I won’t be making it again. Bleh. Recipe FAIL. So no recipe for that one! I finished up work and headed straight home to a night of TV watching, hanging with the family, and pre-cooking per my meal plan – woo! I ended the night at 1,573 calories, 212 carbs, 36 fat grams and 83 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

And here’s some of the clothes I picked up Sunday & Monday!

Austin's "Bleeker" socks. (american apparel)

The fabulous American Apparel sash. NO, I didn't get 5. But YES, I did get one black one and it can be tied a gagillion different ways. Below are some of my favorite ways to tie it. Please note: they also have ways to tie it as a tourbon, neck tie and even as a top - I KID YOU NOT! Thanks, Crystal, for telling me about this - you ROCK!


Some of the clothes I got! (click to make larger)
A few things are off: I got the top left dress in black not gray, and I got the top right sweater in black and gray (not cream!). I got both pairs of tights in gray and black, I didn't get the funny looking dog but DID get the solid black tee for Reuben, the things on the right are long fingerless gloves (if you can't tell!)



not pictured: purple/pink/blue knee socks for under pants (forever 21) and 3 black forever 21 tops: one long sleeved, one short sleeve with floral accents and one like a tee-shirt with a cut out upper back. Should also note: the green/striped dress is TOTALLY spring, but it's by one of my favorite brands, Scrapbook, and it was on sale for - hold the phone - $9!!!!!!

That's all folks! I'm this close to being done with my fall/winter shopping - woo!

So... I still need to post Halloween pics! (on hold as my pregnant-belly-maker is still a work in progress, Austin needs one more thing for his costume and Reuben is refusing photos until after his grooming appointment on Friday. What a diva).

What are you guys going to be for Halloween?
What are your babies/fur babies going to be?!

TTYT! I’m blog reading tonight whilst watching Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill from last night – tis the life – yay!!
