I am a believer in the sweet potato, I believe that they make you pretty. It’s more than a belief actually, it’s like a founding principle of my life.
Sometime around Christmas we had leftover grated raw sweet potato in the fridge. Don’t ask why because I have no freaking idea. About the same time I was toying with the idea of going totally paleo, or at least trying out a new paleo cookbook.
I’m not great at getting out of bed. Fine, the truth is I hate getting out of bed. So I usually miss breakfast and then have to race like a crazy woman to get the kids out the door to school. It’s a long drive to school and back and skipping breakfast ruins my mood for the whole day.
In a stroke of genius one morning I sautéed up a handful of the sweet potato in some butter. Mixed in 2 eggs and cooked it up omelette style. When it was cooked through, I do not support runny eggs, I added some goat cheese and flipped that sucker over. Super delicious, fast and it filled me up. I was so happy I’ve had it nearly everyday since.
Except the weekends, there’s no rush for school on those days and breakfast is later so I can usually get up for it. Truthfully I think it’s the race to school that keeps me in bed. I willingly signed up for parenting but I did not sign anything that said I had to get up for school September through June.
That sounds delicious! I eat omelets nearly every day for lunch. Mmm. Omelets. I haven’t done one with sweet potato though. I’m going to have to try it!
I’ve adopted a semi-paleo diet … it’s all about finding something that works, right? So far, so good, it seems to be working great for me.
A paleo friend/pimp of mine suggested a banana/egg pancake. Simple to make and apparently super tasty. I’m thinking it’ll be a good weekender thing.
I’ve also made them in muffin tins, jammed in the SP and cheese, then poured the eggs overtop. Baked at 350 for 20 or so minutes. Simple to heat up as a snack.
I’m really liking practical paleo, I found it at Costco. Great muffin and pancake recipes.
That looks super awesome. I’m going to try it.
It’s right up your alley. Let me know what you think.
Kristin, I want to lick the screen. YUM, that looks so good!
It is! I really do have it everyday. Today I added bacon.
Yum! My new omelett cooking skills will have to try this out. Sweet potatoes are yummy.
They are indeed! Can’t get the kids to eat them though.
