Spanish Chorizo Tortilla

breakfast, entrees, , , ,

spanish chorizo tortillaYep today is Thursday in my household which means one thing.  My wife has taken over the TV with Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal.  I actually don’t mind this though because both shows are actually pretty well written.  Ok ok ok that and she tolerates my Game of Thrones infatuation lol, she actually really likes GoT as well.

So after the regular daily grind I hit the gym as planned and when I got home I made the kids some new ice cream.  Its the same ice cream that I made here , the only exception is that I added some mini chocolate chips to it.  My son has been begging me for sprinkles but I didn’t have any so this was the way I improvised.

Today I am going to talk more about this recipe because this is a staple in my diet.  I will make one of these 1-2 times a month atleast and it feeds me breakfast all week long.  To me this is a perfect blend of spicy and savory.  My wife made this for me the first time and I was just simply addicted.  This dish is absolutely incredible.  I really hope you do try it and enjoy it as much as I do.  I am not sure if the name is accurate or not but where we live its heavily hispanic and they call it a Spanish Tortilla, I added the word chorizo to signify that its sausage based.

Here is the recipe!

Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs

sweet potato hash

So I am getting over the sickness I have no more fever just have the crackle voice and congestion going for me.  My voice hasn’t cracked this much since I was 15 lol.  Outside of that things are going well.  My son has been actively engaged in Teeball and he has been doing really well.  Today we had a game and he went 1 for 2 and got a double.  Now when I say 1 or 2 let me be clear that the 1 is when he hit the ball that is pitched to him.  Unlike most Teeball leagues our league give the hitter 3 chances to hit a ball that is pitched to them before they put them on the tee.  That to me is priceless as he gets awesome hand eye coordination at a young age.  So yea I am proud of my little guy for doing much better in each of his games this year he has atleast hit one pitch!

On other news so proud of my nephew he got his tested and passed his brown belt test in jujitsu.  Proud of all the little guys in my life.

Today’s recipe is one I ate this morning that the wife made for me.  It’s a sweet potato hash with an egg.  I like my eggs over easy when I eat them with a hash so that’s how she made it for me.  I would imagine that any egg any style would be good on this.

Enjoy it I loved it.
