Sweet Potato, Mushroom, Pepper and Egg Bake

Ingredients 1 Large Sweet Potato 4 Medium Portobello Mushrooms 5 Small Sweet Peppers 1 Large handful of Spinach  4 Large Eggs Olive Oil Salt and Pepper Instructions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Dice the sweet potato into small cubes.  Cut the tops off of the sweet peppers then cut in half.  Quarter the mushrooms and lay it all on a sheet tray.  Add the handful of spinach and drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper.  Bake for 15 min. Take the tray out of the oven and add the 4 eggs. I like to make a little well to hold the eggs in.  Don't forget to add salt and pepper to your eggs. Bake an additional 15 min. Enjoy!

Ground Turkey Stuffed Green Peppers

Ingredients 3 Med to Large Green Peppers 1 1/2 Lbs. of Ground Turkey 1 Cup of White Rice 2 Cans(4oz) of Tomato Sauce split 1 Can(8oz) of diced Tomatoes 2 Garlic Cloves Diced 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning Salt and Pepper Instructions First cut the tops off of the Green Peppers. Scoop out the seeds and white membranes. I like to arrange the rings that were cut off the top on the bottom of the crockpot to help keep the green peppers from burning and to help them stay upright.  Next you want to mix the ground turkey with the diced tomatoes, 1 and 1/2 cans of tomato sauce, rice, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper.  Stuff your peppers and place them on the rings in your crockpot.  I added any remaining mixture around the peppers to help hold them up. Now go ahead and add the last half can of tomato sauce.  Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4. Serve with extra sauce if you desire. Enjoy!

Broil sandwiches for 3-5 min until golden brown. Remove from oven. Add pickle slices and mustard and mayonnaise. Enjoy!

Sweet Potato and Carnitas Hash with Salsa Verde

Ingredients 1 Cup of Leftover  Carnitas 1 Large Sweet Potato Diced 1/4 of White Onion 1/2 Roma Tomato 4 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup of salsa verde Salt and Pepper Cilantro for garnish Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Heat up a cast iron skillet on medium heat.  Add the leftover carnitas to the preheated skillet.  After crisping the pork, remove from the pan.  Add diced sweet potato.  Cook for approximately 10 min.  While that is cooking, in another pan crack 4 eggs. Add salt and pepper.  Leave the eggs sunny side up, they will finish cooking in the oven.  After the sweet potatoes have cooked for 10 min, add the carnitas meat back to the skillet.  Add onions, tomatoes, salsa verde and eggs on top. Bake for 10 min.  Remove from oven and garnish with cilantro. 

Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients 1 1/2 Cups of Carrots Chopped 1 1/2 Cups of Celery Chopped 1 Large Onion Diced 2 lbs of Chicken Breast 6 Cups of Chicken Stock or 6 Bullion Cubes(low sodium) 1-2 Cups Egg Noodles or Elbow Noodles  Salt and Pepper Instructions Chop your carrots and celery. Dice your onion and put into the slow cooker.  Next, add the chicken breast, pepper, a pinch of salt, and chicken stock. I used bullion cubes and water.  Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4. Shred your chicken and add your noodles. Cook an additional 15 min until the noodles are cooked. I made the mistake of going to the gym after I put the noodles in and so they overcooked, but it still turned out amazing.
