Still haven't made it to the grocery store...

It is Wednesday evening and I STILL haven't made it to the grocery store.  Major FAIL.  On the plus side, I have some leftovers in the freezer and enough eggs, bacon and veggies to get us through a few meals.  So that explains why this is what we had for dinner tonight.
Scrambled eggs with Sweet Potato, Asparagus & Bacon
For the less experienced cook...Start with chopping up the bacon and throwing it in the pan.  While it is cooking, dice/grate sweet potato and asparagus.  I then threw them in with the bacon to finish cooking.  When all was done, I pushed it to one side of the pan and scrambled my eggs on the other pan.  One dish cooking means less to clean up later.  I did season this with some Breakfast Sausage Seasoning for Penzey's spices.  Salt, Pepper, Sage, Paprika were the main elements. 

For the kids, I was able to make some "chicken nuggets" that the daughter said was "as good as Chick-Fil-A.  I doubt that, but was thrilled that she ate a ton.  She is a picky eater and a tough cookie!  I didn't get a good picture because the kids started eating them so fast. 
 Tips for experimenting with "chicken nuggets."
1.  Cut chicken into small, even pieces. 
2.  Mix almond meal & coconut flour for the breading.
3. Season with salt/pepper if you would like.
4.  Bake or Fry, depending on what your kids like.
5.  Serving with "fancy" toothpicks works around here. :)
