Childhood breakfast memories

I remember, as a kid, that my mom would always make an amazing breakfast on Sunday mornings. It was a time of togetherness and bonding for our family. 

It’s a tradition that I cherish and one that I stride to do for my own family.

Spiral cut sweet potatoes

For this morning’s Sunday breakfast, I made spiral cut sweet potatoes cooked in some coconut oil with a bed of fresh spinach and topped with a sunny-side-up egg. It was a new recipe to me and it did not disappoint.  

To get my sweet potatoes into this fun shape, I ran them through a spiral vegetable slicer. I used the Paderno brand and I purchased it off of Amazon.

I really like this particular vegetable slicer, as it is easy to put together, take apart and to clean. It is not the cheapiest slicer out there, but like most things in life, you get what you pay for.

I have heard complaints about lower end ones tending to be incredibly hard to clean or fall apart after just a few uses. These bad boys are great and you will probably see several of my recipes that involve mine.

The flavor of the sweet potato spirals was DELICIOUS with the egg. I got the idea from my fellow foodie pal Trisha’s blog, Eat Your Beets. She originally paired this recipe with burgers as a french fry alternative. It’s such a simple idea and recipe that I am already starting to dream up other dishes I can use it in.
