I thought it would be real smart to go on a juice cleanse for a few days while Drew was gone since I wasn't cooking meals for him.
Stupid. Idea. Let me repeat that. Stupidest, Freaking Idea. (I know it's not a word.. back off)
So what did I learn from this "cleanse"? Well, first of all, I didn't order one from a company, I made my own. Thank God. I can't imagine spending $150 for three days of juice. It simply wasn't enough to fill me up. Anytime you google search "juice cleanse" there should be a yes or no box you have to check to the following question: Do you work out?I mean really workout? If you check yes, DO NOT JUICE. I was starving when I woke up this morning, which makes sense considering all I consumed yesterday were 6 different cups of juice fruit and veggies.
I NEED MY MEAT.
Clearly, the lack of food has made me cranky as well. I didn't want to cook at all so I went with ole faithful; a breakfast frittata. They are easy, you can use whatever you have in the fridge and then move on with your life.

Breakfast Frittata
There are so many different ways to make these. I like to throw whatever is in the fridge and about to go bad in the mix.
Ingredients:
Steps:
Heat oven to 350
Ingredients:
- 10 eggs
- 1 tomato
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 sweet potato, shredded
- 1 cup cooked kale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (grass fed is best)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbs coconut oil
Steps:
Heat oven to 350
- Melt coconut oil in cast iron skillet
- Saute onion, pepper, sweet potato, for 5-7 minutes. Add sausage and cook until brown.
- Add Kale and sauté for 2 minutes or until kale is wilted
- Remove from heat, add 10 eggs and mix well. Cooking in the cast iron will help cook the eggs a little before baking, giving a better texture to the frittata. However, if you don't have a cast iron skillet, simply mix the eggs into the skillet after it is removed from heat, then transfer to oven safe dish. Top with sliced tomatoes.
- Cook for 20 minutes
