sundays are family breakfast days

At least at my house, Sunday is the only day during the week where we all have breakfast together. That's just the season of life we're in right now. Life is so chaotic and busy, that typically breakfast is done with my Isagenix shake on the go or while I'm prepping for the day.

But not on Sunday. Sunday is the day we try to slow down and enjoy our morning together. Typically this means a delicious breakfast and MAYBE I can drink my coffee while it's still hot and not room temperature.

We're unique though that breakfast for us isn't a sugary affair. Don't get me wrong, I love a delicious waffle as much as the next gal, but when I cook breakfast, I tend more towards the savory route and less towards the pancake route. Which means I'm always coming up with new ways to make breakfast hearty and amazing, while still totally satisfying.

This one started from me walking through the grocery store the Friday before, seeing a butternut squash and thinking "I'll make that for breakfast on Sunday" without really thinking HOW I would make it for breakfast on Sunday.

Then Sunday came, I looked at the squash like "Ok what do I do with you now?", and decided to make bacon. From there, I came up with this delicious scramble, with a side of bacon for good measure.

Butternut Squash Scramble

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Serves: 4

1 Butternut Squash, peeled, seeded and diced

1 Sweet Onion, diced

1 Red Bell Pepper, diced

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

1/4 tsp Paprika

4 eggs

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Grab your cookie sheet, line it with foil and spray it with non-stick spray.

Grab that squash and microwave it for 2 minutes (this makes it easier to cut). Cut off the ends, peel it, seed it and dice it, then toss it onto the cookie sheet. Toss your bell peppers and onion onto the cookie sheet as well. Toss with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Bake for 45 minutes (stirring halfway through) or until squash is tender.

Divide the veggies onto 4 separate plates, and top with eggs done whatever way you like the best! Top with cheese, avocado, hot sauce or all three! Enjoy!
