My Recipes My Lists My Calendar

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus extra to season the eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus extra to season the eggs
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1/2 pound ground spicy Italian sausage
  • 4 ounces fresh spinach, stems trimmed
  • 4 eggs, cooked to your preference

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and season with the salt and black pepper. Cook, tossing once or twice, for 25-30 minutes or until soft (I like to cook extra than what the recipe calls for and save the leftovers for another dish).
  2. Cook the quinoa according to the package directions (you’ll likely have extra, save it for another dish). Set aside.
  3. Add the sausage to a large skillet and cook until it’s browned and cooked through.
  4. Turn off the heat and add the spinach to the sausage. Toss to combine. The spinach will wilt. Remove from the heat.
  5. Toss together the sausage and spinach, sweet potato, and 2 cups cooked quinoa.
  6. Divide evenly between bowls.
  7. Cook eggs to suit your taste and top each bowl with one egg. Season the eggs with a bit of salt and pepper.

    This looks like a filling and good for you breakfast or lunch option. I use a lot of sweet potatoes this time of year, but wouldn't have thought to use them with quinoa. Great idea!

    Easy to make and delicious, leftovers kept well, I have a microwave egg poacher that I used to make another fresh egg to top the dish again for an enjoyable lunch at work the next day.

    These bowls are awesome! They are so filling I can go all morning and I am not starving for lunch the way I usually feel! I meal prepped (without the eggs) into containers and have been heating them up in the microwave. Then top off with a quick egg. Going to try to experiment with variations on this theme now that I know how to make them. Thank you!

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
