A Perfect Sunday

We woke today to sunny blue skies, and gentle breezes blowing through the window.  We began the day with this.

The orange trees are loaded with huge, sweet, drippy, sticky sweetness!   They are at their peak right now, and we will be enjoying fresh squeezed juice until May.  Oh how I love this season!

I saw a dish recently on a blog, and for the life of me, I cannot remember which one it was.  I even went back and looked on all of my favorite cooking blogs tonight, so that I could mention the blog where I saw this.  But I couldn't find it.  Actually, I don't even know what all she made her dish with, but hash browns was the main ingredient. And what interested me was not the ingredients, as much as the topping.  She topped this breakfast dish with eggs.  And I thought...how brilliant!  Why have I never done this????  So today, I made my version of breakfast skillet.
First, I cooked a pound of applewood smoked bacon.  It doesn't matter how much bacon you cook at my house, it is never enough!

Then I drained off most of the grease, reserving a little bit to cook the veggies in.  I began with diced onion. Then added diced green peppers, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes.

Cook for a couple of minutes, then add one bag of shredded potatoes.  Season well with salt and pepper.

To this I crumbled the bacon into large pieces, and lightly tossed to distribute.  Then put the lid on and let potatoes brown, leaving on a medium/high heat.  About 5 minutes or so.

 Using a large spatula, flip the browned hash browns over to let the other side brown.  After it has browned on both side, sprinkle with cheese.

 Put lid back on, only a minute or two , allow cheese to melt.  Then make small indentations into top and crack as many eggs into dish as desired.  Season with more salt and pepper. There were three of us eating, so I did three.

Put the lid back on, and let eggs baste to desired doneness.  We like ours with yokes runny.

Cut into wedges, and in our case, make sure everyone gets one egg along with their serving.
We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed our breakfast along with some fresh berries.

We spooned some roasted tomato salsa onto our potato dish.  I buy this at fresh & easy.  It is soooo good.

 This was the perfect start to our day.  We worked outside, and got a lot done.  I also put in a 40 minute workout.  20 minute on the treadmill, and 20 minutes of weights and stretching.  I am already feeling it!!  UGH!
We bbq'd turkey mushroom burgers for dinner and after dinner I made these.

It was a perfect Sunday!
