I thought it would be fun to photograph everything I eat for a day. So that's what this post is about :) Even if I put 1 chip in my mouth...it will be photographed. Now I have off of work today, which means I usually am more relaxed and eat less than I would on an average day at work, but hopefully it is still interesting for you to read.
While you would think that I would choose to sleep in on my day off, I ended up waking up almost earlier than I do for work. I know, crazy. But I never have the chance to make my husband breakfast, and knew he would like these scrambled egg muffins! I finished them just in time for him to take 2 for the road. And a few minutes after he left he texted me saying, "Yum. I should have taken 3 or 4." That makes me happy :) Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound of breakfast sausage (organic & gluten-free)
• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup of chopped green and red pepper
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese

In a skillet, cook the sausage fully. While this is cooking, beat the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Once the eggs are beat, add in the peppers and onions. After the sausage is cooked, cut into small pieces and add along with the cheese to the egg mixture. Finally, spray a muffin pan with cooking spray and fill 1/3 with the egg mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the egg is fully cooked. Easy, good, and most of all...super cute! These are perfect if you are hosting a brunch or need to take something to a party.



Before posting about lunch, I wanted to show you how Jeff and I spent our night last night! Not only did we make some gluten-free pizza (which ended up being more like bread with cheese on top since we both aren't huge fans of sauce), but we also made a photo light box. What is that, you ask? It is a box that helps take brighter pictures of course. Since it gets dark at 4:30 these days, I am never able to take pictures of our dinner in natural light (which is the only way I really like to take pictures). So we made this. We still have some work to do, but I'll share one picture that somewhat worked!


Isn't this little guy cute? I bought it one day while I was at Ikea to give to Jeff.


After making this light box, we made some gluten-free pizza! Here are some pictures of us hard at work. It was a process, but SO worth it.


After breakfast I headed to my sister-in law's house to take pictures of her little girl, Sienna. They were adorable :) I got to her house around 10:00 and was feeling a bit hungry, so I had a handful of raw almonds.


After the photo shoot, I drove myself to Whole Foods...because a happy day off would not be complete without a trip to my favorite grocery store :) I didn't even need to buy anything, I just feel happy there. I spent most of my time in the prepared foods section trying to figure out what I wanted for lunch that was under $5. And you'll never believe what I found-TAMALES! My family and I make tamales every Christmas, and that is pretty much the only time I eat them. It was a treat to enjoy one today. I saved the second one for lunch tomorrow since I was feeling quite full.
