Herb and Sweet Pea Egg Scramble

Herb and Sweet Pea Scramble

When I was pregnant with Wes I ate the exact same thing for breakfast every single day for the last 3 months, which was 2 scrambled eggs and a piece of buttered toast. As one could imagine I’ve since been a little tired of scrambled eggs, and up until this pregnancy I’ve only really enjoyed fried eggs with runny, glorious yolks.

 

However. Most people don’t recommend runny eggs while pregnant, and since it’s not something I’m fanatical about I haven’t had any for the past 9 months. Not a big deal, but since eggs are SUCH a great source of affordable and delicious protein I’ve been trying to fit them in when I can.

Herb and Sweet Pea Scramble

While regular old scrambled eggs may not be my absolute favorite, having them with lots of flavorful goodness inside works great for me, and this scramble is no exception. It’s so easy with frozen peas (although far be it from me to deprive anyone of fresh sweet peas in season), and the herbs and goat cheese take it over the top. A piece of toast on the side is fantastic (hello, bread is always fantastic), or some honey-sweetened yogurt if you have a sweet tooth.

 

Another great thing? Using Goldrich eggs makes these eggs not only super delicious, but absolutely gorgeous to look at. Those golden yolks don’t lie!

 

Enjoy!

Herb and Sweet Pea Scramble

HERB AND SWEET PEA SCRAMBLE

Serves 1

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 large Goldrich eggs
  • 1/3 cup fresh or frozen sweet peas
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ounce goat cheese (optional)

Directions:

  1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  3. Melt the butter in the hot skillet, swirling it around to coat the surface.
  4. Gently pour the eggs into the hot butter, add the herbs, and then gently begin stirring to start forming the scrambled egg curds.
  5. Continue to stir until about half of the eggs are cooked, then add the peas.
  6. Continue to stir until the eggs are just done – make sure you don’t overcook!
  7. Plate immediately, topping with crumbled goat cheese if desired.
  8. Enjoy!

    I’m such a creature of habit, having the same 2 breakfasts in rotation actually makes my day feel grounded. šŸ˜‰ I love a good egg scramble though and finding new flavor combos isn’t always easy. This one sounds great!

    I’ve never been big on eggs but I’m trying to eat more! I think adding in peas & goat cheese (two things I LOVE) would make me much more excited about them in the morning! I’ll have to give this a try because I know my husband would love it.

Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach

- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
