On Saturday mornings I am a creature of habit. I sleep in, then get up and watch a few cooking shows on The Food Network.
Usually after watching one show, I start to get hungry. During the week, I am usually running out the door so I grab some fruit or a frozen breakfast taco. But on the weekends when I have time to cook, I want a good homemade breakfast.
For me that usually means eggs and potatoes. It’s a throwback to what my mom used to make us on the weekends. I first tried this hash out as entry for a contest but then never entered it. When I was trying to decide what to make this past weekend, I had the sweet potato and bacon at home and rushed out to get the Brussel Sprouts because I knew I wanted to make this again. All the flavors together do something magical.
