Okay, so a lot people aren’t like this, but I am a HUGE breakfast fan. Also, as a self-proclaimed J.A.P. (Jewish American Princess for those of you who don’t know the less-offensive acronym) I naturally enjoy a delicious brunch as well. To me there is nothing better than a lazy weekend morning where I start off at a diner or lunch counter for eggs, hashbrowns and toast and a weekend edition of The New York Times.

I wish I also had the luxury to enjoy meals like that on my weekday mornings as well, but between trying to wake up early enough to hit the gym, actually getting my ass to the gym, and then getting ready to go to work–#aintnobodygottimeforthat.

Since I’m consistently rushing in the morning to get ready for work (I will sleep until the last POSSIBLE minute), I typically bring my breakfast with me to work. While a greek yogurt is fine some days, it’s always nice to be able to have some variety.

One of the things I do I my weekends is cook and test out new recipes, especially for meals that are easy to transport to work. One of the recipes that I made this weekend was a sweet potato hash. I literally just look things that I had in my fridge and pantry to make this. Two sweet potatoes, a yellow pepper, onion, grape tomatoes, garlic, cayenne pepper, chili powder, paprika and salt and pepper and let it saute together until the sweet potatoes were cooked. I added the peppers and grapes closer to the end since they need to cook a little less. To pair with it I poached two eggs for my weekend breakfast but for during the week I actually cracked an egg and mixed it with some almond milk and literally poured it on top of the leftovers. Then, when i got into work I just microwaved it like I would typically do to reheat the hash and the eggs scrambled in the microwave. It was great and so filling, especially after the hard workout that I had this morning!

The other thing that I, I guess you could say “succumbed to,” is avocado toast. I feel like every breakfast place in the tri-state area is trying to do their own unique version of avocado toast and I’m like, “Bitches, it’s avocado on toast, what’s original about it?!” Anywho, the idea of bringing already cooked toast with a topping to work sounds unappealing, mostly because by time I get to eat it at my desk it would be soggy and cold. So what I did was bring the bread to work, uncooked, a hard boiled egg, and an avocado half and assembled the meal here. Just smashed up the avocado, toasted the bread at work and cut up the egg and it was good to go!
