Breakfast Stuffed Peppers

I made something really awesome for dinner earlier this week.  My husband had been talking about wanting something with sausage in it.  I had been talking to my father, and he got me craving stuffed peppers.

So I combined the two!  BREAKFAST STUFFED PEPPERS.  I started with the idea of an omelette and kind of turned it inside out.

I wish I'd taken pictures because they disappeared kinda quick.

Here's the recipe:
3 large bell peppers
1 pound breakfast sausage
6 eggs, lightly beaten
shredded cheese (I used cheddar--I didn't measure, I just added a couple handfuls, so maybe about a cup?)
any other omelette fillings you like!

Cook and crumble the sausage.  (I use a potato smasher to make sure I don't have a bunch of big chunks.)  Cool completely.

Core the peppers and cut them in half.  Mix the eggs, cheese, and other random fillings (I think spinach would be a nice addition, but I'm the only one here willing to eat spinach in that form) with the sausage.  Spoon the filling into the pepper halves.  (You might have a bit of leftover filling--I cooked mine, put it in some tortillas and froze them--instant breakfast burrito, HEY-O!)

Arrange the peppers in a GREASED baking dish and bake at 350 until done, about 30 minutes.  Seriously, spray that dish down or you're gonna be scraping baked egg out of it FOREVER that night.

I would have added other fillings, but I was drawing a blank on what goes into the omelettes I usually order at restaurants.

Anywho--it's quick and easy and good.  And they actually reheat fairly well!  Enjoy!

whoops

Last two days of gratitude!  Day 29--I am thankful for humor.  I have no clue what I'd do if I couldn't laugh on a regular basis.  It gets me through a lot of things.  I am particularly thankful for the people who can make me laugh no matter what's going on.  (Though, I'm sure the day I lost my second son, when I was on the phone with my dad and laughing because he's just so freaking funny--I'm sure that day the doctors were ready to call for an evaluation of my mental state...)

Anywho.  Laughter is like sunshine.  I need it.  I think everyone does.

Day 30--I am thankful for technology.  I love computers and airplanes (though I hate flying) and phones.  I love the fact that news travels as fast as it does these days.  I love being able to type a letter and push a button and feel relatively secure that the recipient will see it within the next day.  It's amazing what we've accomplished.  And I'm excited to see what the future holds.
