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.

Egg Custard

egg custard - breakfast

On most days I tend to walk out the door and head to work and quickly eat a hard boiled egg.  Today was something new, my wife decided to make an Egg Custard.  The recipe was featured in a Paleo book that we have and I have to say it actually tasted really good.  One of the best things I found about this was that it made 4 servings so both her and I are able to eat this for 2 days with little effort.  In today’s hectic fast paced world any time you can save is a great benefit.  One thing I enjoyed about this actual flavor of everything coming together.  I really enjoyed the crunch the bacon offers with contrast to the texture of the mushrooms.  Overall this was very successful in my opinion and we will definitely make it again.
