First the salad beast now the skillet beast

One of my Tone it Up girls calls her salad's salad beasts since they are so huge and choc ful of veggies. You can never eat too many veggies right? Well today i had my yummy post run skillet and it was huge so it's now called the skillet beast. Basically a skillet with a crap load of veggies! Need to get rid of soon to be too old to eat veggies? Make a skillet beast. Haven't been so great at getting your minimum 3 servings of veggies in lately? Make a skillet beast. Have a super insane craving for copious amounts of veggies? Make a skillet beast. You get the picture.

Skillets have made me fall in love with eggs. While i first had to douse any egg dish i have in ketchup, ya i know not so uber healthy, i am finding that i am using less and less ketchup lately (as in only the last 3 times i have had skillets, i had two this week). So here is the recipe if you too want to enjoy the skillet beast. Best had after a killer Saturday or Sunday morning workout since they tend to be longer than your average during the week 45min- 1 hr long sweat sessions. I did a 18km run this morning with my running partner in crime, Steph Patterson. So i was hungry and needed something to fuel me back up and what is more well rounded than a skillet beast? Protein, veggies and carb loaded exactly what a runner needs after a killer training session.

The skillet beast

Ingredients:

• 1 large potato
• Copious amounts of the veggies you want
• 2 eggs (or more if you desire)
• Grated cheddar or cheese of your choice (optional)
• Ketchup (optional)

Directions:

First off you will cut a potato into hash brown cubes and fry it up with some EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) yah healthy hash browns that satisfy your cravings for hash browns and fries! I add a little sea salt to mine since i need the extra electrolytes after a big run and some pepper too. (I cheated and cooked my potato in the microwave for a bit so they basically just had to brown/crisp up).

Next chop up whatever veggies you want/have on hand. Today i added red pepper, mushroom, broccoli and onion. Wait until the hash browns are close to down, fairly crispy and then fry them up with a little EVOO and once they are cooked a bit add 2 eggs (or more if you want) and scramble them in with all the veggies.

Once the egg is cooked add your hash browns on a plate cover with your skillet mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese and add ketchup if you desire!

YUM. Epically huge and delicious. ENJOY!
