Breakfast Salad Bowl

rebeccahoopLeave a comment

I like to make a salad for breakfast to pack in as many savory nutrients as possible. I mix the proteins with potatoes and serve it on a bed of fresh spinach. I kicked my sugar addiction a few years ago, so sweet pancakes usually make me feel sluggish the rest of the day.

1 egg

2 turkey sausage links

1 cup diced sweet potatoes, roasted

1 cup fresh spinach

Place a saute pan on medium heat and add sausage and potatoes to heat through.

Add the egg and scramble into the sausage and potatoes until the egg is no longer runny.

Season with kosher salt and black pepper

Pour mixture onto spinach on your serving plate or bowl.

Add hot sauce of choice for extra flavor.

Tomorrow, I will be racing the Nationwide Columbus Marathon. This will be my third time running this race. This will be the first time that I feel prepared to RACE and not just finish. I’m nervous and excited! My IronBestie, Shay is in town racing the half marathon.
This morning we made Gluten Free Pancake Waffles after our shake out run. They were pretty amazing!
I found the recipe on Pinterest, here

2 T maple syrup
1 T coconut oil
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 cups gluten free, I used a Trader Joe’s brand
2 t pumpkin spice
2 t baking powder

Combine wet ingredients in a bowl with a mixer.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients.
Slowly add dry to wet mix until combined. Do not over mix.
Add mixture to your waffle iron, follow manufacturer directions.
Enjoy!
We added a bit of Canadian maple syrup and over hard eggs for extra protein.

Bruce, who is not racing tomorrow, took creative liberties and added a Klondike bar…

For the rest of the day, we will be on the couch with feet up, and watching “Pitch Perfect”, pre race tradition!
