Anyone else get stuck in a food rut? Hands both up and waving wildly over here. \u00a0Because we live a fat thirty minutes from a grocery store, I plan out menus a week at at time. \u00a0Some weeks I could sit down and write out two weeks worth of menus in no time flat. \u00a0Those are usually the times when I’m starving hungry and the sun is shining. \u00a0Other weeks, there are dirty dishes on the table, the skies are greeeeey, I just finished a big meal …. and I can’t think of anything but the simplest, quickest food possible. \u00a0Which usually means making the same thing. over. and over. and over again.<\/p>\n

I was tired of the breakfast rut we’d fallen into. \u00a0The boys really, really dislike cereal. \u00a0Liam isn’t supposed to be eating gluten so bagels are kind of a non-option. \u00a0I wish for quick and easy. Did anyone notice those three don’t add up?<\/p>\n

So there we are. Quiche. Steel cut oats. Baked oatmeal. Breakfast casserole (thankfully I found a gluten free one that we all love). Fruit and yogurt parfaits. Smoothies and muffins. Almond flour pancakes. Begin process again.<\/p>\n

Enter, Pinterest. \u00a0I spend zero minutes there for weeks on end, then suddenly get the urge and realize what a treasure trove it is! I have no idea why I don’t use it more regularly.<\/p>\n

Here’s my recent breakfast inspiration.<\/p>\n

{Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon<\/a>}<\/p>\n

I know. \u00a0I don’t even like bacon. Or, I’m not supposed to. \u00a0When we started buying MSG free bacon for Liam I realized the better quality bacon actually tasted like pork instead of fat. \u00a0It was kind of good. (I tried not to admit that out loud.) Then David cured some of his own last year. \u00a0Oi. I can no longer claim my distaste. \u00a0Just don’t expect me to willingly eat bacon bits on salad anytime in the next five decades.<\/p>\n

\"breakfast<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet potatoes and bacon seemed like an amazing flavor combination on paper. \u00a0It was even better in real life! It took a little while to dice up all the vegetables even though I bought sweet potato fries to speed up the process. \u00a0Oh, and I cooked the eggs til they weren’t really runny intentionally. This doesn’t qualify for quick and easy, but, oh, it was so, so yummy. \u00a0You really should try this for a Saturday morning breakfast.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Adam and Liam didn’t like it. I think it was the idea of sweet potatoes for breakfast that threw them. \u00a0I’m pretty sure this could be dinner some night, too.<\/p>\n
