Let the slew of pinterest-inspired food posts begin! Ever since I moved I noticed that I have not been cooking as much as I used to, which you think would be a good thing. Since I haven’t been cooking, I’ve been snacking… a lot! My tummy thanks me but my waistline on isn’t too happy. Someone once told me, “5 seconds at the lips, forever at the hips” and it’s true. So here is my ode to cooking more and snacking less. I thought I’d share with you guys my recent cooking confection, an Australian Brekkie (That’s the word they use for breakfast) Enjoy!

Breakfast Casserole

2 medium-sized white onions
6 eggs
2 egg whites (the recipe called for 8 whole eggs but removing the yolk from a few will reduce your cholesterol intake. Plus it tastes the exact same!)
4 fairly large potatoes
3 tomatoes
1 bell pepper
1 1/2 tsps of red paper - my family loves it hot.
1 tsp of black pepper
1 tsp of white pepper

Start by grading your potatoes. The original recipe said to use frozen hash brown potatoes but that’s exactly what we didn’t have so we made our own. A regular cheese grader does the trick. Once those have been prepared use  large skillet to cook them. Because potatoes naturally have a little water in them it’s alright not to use oil while cooking. You can though if you want them a little bit crispier. Cook those on medium-high on until they get a dark brown (Light brown, and they are still uncooked). Then flip them so the other side can get tanned too. Don’t worry if they start sticking to one another. Cook them until they are ready as if you would eat them them then. Once they are popped into the oven with the casserole they won’t change.

Set the oven for 350 Fahrenheit  /170 Celsius

Once that is done, start to chop your tomatoes, peppers, and onions and cook them until they are soft and the onions brown.

Mix all of that with your eggs and egg whites. Now you can add your spices (Use your discretion with the spices for maximum enjoyment). Then add your cooked hash browns. It’s probably best to add that chunk by chunk so you can mix them well in between. Also, because potatoes can suck up the taste of the spices, you might want to add a pinch more of the spices you already included.

When that is completed, get your 9 X 13 inch pan and coat the bottom with cooking spray.  Now you can pour in the mixture. Use the back of a spatula to press it all down.

Bake for 30 - 40 minutes and voila!
Happy eating!

25. The Breakfast of Champions

Find out what you love to do. Do it. Surround yourself with people who love doing similar things too. These people will motivate you when the next step feels like 100 miles away. Case in point. Here I am at 12: 43 in the morning and I am eating a cold  sandwich. If you couldn’t tell that it’s a McChicken it probably because you’re used to seeing this:

Before I digress even further into the McDonalds industry, let me get back to the topic at hand.

I call this the breakfast of champions because it is now morning and this is the first meal I have eaten. Plus, I am in the presence of a champion. Ladies and gents, meet Kelsey Harris. This isn’t the first time we have pulled long-nighters in the berry (Library). Oh no, it is not. And let me assure you, this probably won’t be the last. It may look like we’re having a bag full of giggles at the moment but my eyes are laiden with sleep and mind has began the slow process of turning off. As sluggish as I become, I have the power to go forward because I am surrounded by people of the same mind and will as me. It makes me want to continue when I see others doing the same. It pushes me further. “Iron sharpens iron and the creatives push the creative.” It’s one of my new sayings now. Find someone or some people who do the same for you. You will not regret doing so.
