Baked Egg Omelet Muffin

Eating out for the past 4 months or more has really taken a toll on my body, taste buds, and even wallet. I have gained so much unwanted weight, grown quickly tired of all the things I have been eating, and tired of spending so much money on distasteful food that I could be using to buy new shoes with.

 I finally took the initiative to prepare meals in advance. I started with this simple breakfast obsession that can easily be altered to your taste and dietary needs. Not only does it take 20 min max to make but it is also great for family eating, or weekly eating that is prepared all at once.  I introduce to some and present to others the Baked Egg Omelet Muffin:





 1. Select your meat of choice. I used my favorite Jimmy Dean
sausage.


2. Crack 4 eggs. I started with 2 but you will see later
where I added 2 more. Use a large bowl (mistake #2) &
season with salt, pepper, and basil. This is the part where you
can customize your seasonings to your preferences.


3. Add green peppers.


4. Add onion. I used some left over red onion I 
had in the fridge.


5. Add tomato. 


6. Add shredded cheese. I used sharp cheddar this time, 
however there is always a variety of shredded cheese
in my house. 


7. Customize your omelet by adding more ingredients then
spray your muffin pan.


8. Brown your meat to your liking.


9. Drain all the fatty grease and chop.


10. Add your meat to mixing bowl.


11. Begin whipping your omelet. (this is where I added more eggs)


12. I used a small measuring cup to aid in easy pouring, 
however this is all decided upon you.


13. Add your omelet mix into pan leaving room for it to rise.
Place in oven on 350.


14. Start preparing your paired side. I decided on hash browns
today since I'm still craving McDonald's hash browns. This could
be hash browns, fruit salad, toast, or whatever your heart 
desires. 


15. If you decided on hash browns like me, fry and salt & 
pepper them. 


16. Remove from oven after about 15 minutes. If you want 
your omelet cooked more or less adjust baking time
to your liking. 


17. They should pop right out without any hesitation. 
Remove with tongs and enjoy.

Church Chronicles: "Don't Be Discouraged"















Dress: H&M Clearance Sale | Heels : Marc by Marc Jacobs | Clutch: TJ Maxx | Sunglasses: Versace

Whew. It has been forever since I went to church and yes I am ashamed, considering I was the girl who was in church as well as Sunday School each morning. Can you believe I was also a praise dancer and Children's Sunday School Teacher?! Thats another story, but I had the pleasure of going with a friend. We attended Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in DC off Rhode Island Ave NW. 

The message for Sunday was "Don't Be Discouraged". I think the timing on this particular message couldn't have been any better, especially with all the changes going on in my life right now. 3 points of the sermon I would like to highlight and share with you guys are :

1 Samuel 17: 32-37
1. Don't let others define you
2. Have and share your testimony
3. Learn how to fight the right battles

Overall church was ok, but I think I will give another church a try.

After church, I had the honors of having Brunch. Although I didn't enjoy Bottomless Mimosas (I know, bummer!) I did get the opportunity to try some new food. We went to Southern Hospitality. [Be sure to check out upcoming post on this food/restaurant review] How did you spend your past Sunday? Where is your favorite spot to get Brunch and enjoy Bottomless Mimosas?

Lakeside View








Maxi Dress: H&M | Necklace: Coquettish | Shoes: Summer Favs | Lakeside View: Keer Lake

Sometimes we never really appreciate things till we can no longer enjoy them. As for me, this is definitely the case with me being in DC, coming from the country fields of Henderson, North Carolina. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to go home for about a week and I made sure that visiting the lake was on top of my bucket list. 

It was such a casual day and I had such a great opportunity to go back to my favorite thinking spot of home which is without questions Keer Lake. Enjoying the warm breeze and watching the sunset was so inspiring for me to just get back on my "grind" when arriving back in DC. 

My outfit was extremely simple but I just wanted to share with you guys my favorite place to vent. I am wearing a H&M long maxi dress that I got on sale, paired it with the chic and statement making piece from Coquettish, and my causal fav summer flats. I was so at peace and always go back to that mental spot when looking at these photos. What is your favorite spot to just go and clear your head? Are you a city girl but country girl at heart or the other way around?
