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.

Quinoa with Fresh Veggies

rebeccahoopLeave a comment

Before my ride this evening, I prepped dinner so when we were finished and famished we wouldn’t just pick up dirty fast food on the way home.

Earlier in the afternoon, I put 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs into the crockpot with Cajun seasoning, salt, and a couple cups of water. Cooked on low for about 6 hours.

I put 2 cups of quinoa and 3 1/2 cups of water into the rice cooker, turned it on right before we left

I prepped the vegetables before leaving so all I had to do was toss everything together and serve. 

I  hit up the farmers market over the weekend and scored some beautiful tomatoes and peppers


4 cups of quinoa, cooked

1 red onion, diced

2 bell pepper, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 cups of spinach, chopped

2 tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup fresh parsley, leaves chopped

Pinch of salt

I sautéed the onion and pepper until caramelized, then stirred the garlic in before removing from the heat. I placed them in a bowl and chilled in the fridge until dinner.

Once ready for dinner I tossed everything together and topped with the chicken

This recipe makes several servings and holds well for a few days so you can enjoy multiple times. 
Tonight was a beautiful night for a ride, I hope you were able to enjoy it as well!
