Mushroom-Turkey Egg Bake

Good evening.

I started to experiment this evening with my leftover RAW "cheesy" sauce and decided to make an egg dish.  I'm one to never eat leftovers but I didn't want to put this to waste.  So what I've come up with is something quick and easy- well I don't know quick because it requires a little chopping- egg bake that is PACKED with protein and a "clean eat" breakfast.

Mushroom-Turkey Egg Bake

(with added raw cheesy sauce)

Ingredients:

A handful of pre-sliced mushrooms (baby portabella) - Coarsely chopped

A handful of baby kale - Julienne-cut

4-5 slices of Turkey meat - Julienne-cut

2-3 heaping spoonfuls (the BIG spoon) of Raw cheese sauce 

        - This is optional.  If you haven't made it then you can always throw in any regular cheese

3 large brown, organic eggs

1 egg white

Black pepper

Dash of Sea salt

Red pepper flakes (optional)  

First, preheat your oven to 375 to 400 degrees, depending on your oven.  Slice/ chop/ julienne your mushrooms, baby kale, and turkey meat.

Then throw in all the chopped ingredients in one bowl and slowly mix in the raw cheesy sauce until it's even distributed.  Again, if you didn't make the sauce, just incorporate your choice of cheese or any other component to the dry mix.

In a separate bowl beat eggs together with fork then add the seasonings of black pepper, a dash of sea salt, and red pepper flakes (optional).

Spray a small baking dish (preferably a small, wide-mouth ceramic) with cooking spray.

Transfer the dry/ raw cheese ingredient in the baking dish and spread out evenly.  Then pour in the egg mixture on top.  Sprinkle more with black pepper and pepper flakes, if you like.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Just keep an eye on it... then voila!!

 

Inspiration, again.

Why hello there... I know, I know I've been MIA, yet again.  But the school year is winding down and I made a promise to myself to keep up with my postings, at least, until Spring semester.  Also, I like to take a side note to thank, Caroline, for inspiring me to get back into blogging.  I stumbled upon her page, After Dinner Dance, after I had a hankering for some cake batter frozen yogurt.  I know, weird huh?  But anyways... her recipe, along with others, looked quite healthy and yummy.  I then navigated to her 'About me' section and found some similarities between us.  First, we're both from Houston (well, I'm from Sugar Land) and second, we both have a passion for living a healthy lifestyle BUT in a practical, "real world" matter.

 I say "real world" because even though we like to think we can automatically throw ourselves into this total-health- no carb, low cal, paleo, raw foodist- diet, we all know that's totally impossible.  We're human for goodness sake!  I'm all for eating healthy but don't restrict yourself to where you're compromising taste, your health but most importantly, your sanity!  I'm a big believer in having indulgences.  I "eat clean" 80 to 90% of the time but the other percent, I'm savoring those pieces of dark chocolate or diving into Laloo's goat's milk ice cream.  MMm..

Ok where was I? Haha Sorry I was rambling again.  But yes, thank you Caroline and to Instagram.  Instagram, by the way, has completely changed my outlook on health and fitness.  I've never been so inspired in my life than this past year because of it.  I'm lifting more and finding new ways to eating healthy.  So again, it's because of my followers and those I follow on Instagram that has gotten me more excited about health and fitness.  And if it weren't for you guys (and Caroline), I'd probably be sitting on my couch munching on a bag full of Fritos. jk :P

Also, stay tuned because I have an AWESOME recipe for a "raw" cheesy sauce.
