We’re back with another easy meal prep idea. This time we are going to do a breakfast item. If you’re anything like me, then you know mornings can be hectic trying to get out the door or get our day started as moms. However, a well balanced, protein and fiber-rich breakfast sets the tone for the rest of your day.

This is one of my go-to savory breakfasts, and can be easily modified to include alternative spices or veggies or different types of meat, and the addition of eggs can further boost the nutrient density of this meal.

Recipe: Breakfast Skillet

- 1 pound ground sausage, chicken or turkey
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 2 to 3 bell peppers, diced
- 1 pound potatoes, diced
- One onion, diced

Directions:
1. Sauté meat, onions, and spices in a large skillet pan until cooked through
2. Add chopped veggies, cover with lid, and cook until veggies are soft

Servings: 4-5, depending on your desired portion

Options:
- Adding two scrambled or fried eggs on top is an amazing way to boost the protein and get an added source of choline in your diet (this is critical for all you pregnant and nursing mamas)
- Any of the spices can be substituted for your favorite to tailor it to your taste
- If you’re not a fan of any of those veggies, consider sweet potatoes, spinach, tomatoes… The options are endless

Now you have an easy, delicious breakfast you can pop in the microwave that’s nutrient, dense protein packed, and satiating.

Not every pregnancy ends the way that we hope for. As one of the only early pregnancy providers in the area, unfortunately we have the opportunity to walk through early loss with patients more than our hearts would like. At Empowered Health, one thing you can count on is to leave feeling heard, seen, and cared for. While miscarriage care is always heavy, messages like these are good for the soul and remind us what important, meaningful work it is. Whether you plan to deliver your baby with our team or transition to another provider, it is our great honor to walk alongside you in these delicate moments. We hope you'll reach out to let someone walk with you.
