day of rest: outfit 8

I love Sundays.

Sleeping in, going to church, having a relaxed large lunch and skipping dinner in favor of relaxation and last minute weekend chores. 

We love our church - we're involved in the nursery and I absolutely love when we have the chance once a month to spend our morning with adorable munchkins. Our church is full of young families and it's so amazing to watch them grow. 

We almost always go out to eat on Sundays for lunch, and then the rest of the day is spent in leisure. 

Outfit 8 of my 15 day challenge was perfect for Sunday morning and transitioned well into our lunch with friends, although I honestly changed into my pajamas for the rest of the afternoon. This blog should be an honest blog.

More honest talk: real women iron their clothes.
I'm coming to this conclusion and I have to say, I don't like it.
While I cannot deny that this past week of posts has really hit home that I never iron my clothes and would look much better if I did, it's such a commitment! I think all clothes should be wrinkle free.
I hate grabbing something from my closet that I want to wear, and seeing it all wrinkled. Confession? I just put it back and reach for something slightly less wrinkled. I'm that lazy.
But at the age of 24, I think it's time to stop pretending like I can look like a hobo on a daily basis.
I need to iron my clothes, for the love of Pete.

Sunday morning: breakfast hash

After visiting Delightfully Tacky's blog last week, I decided it was time to try her "favorite easy breakfast" hash!

I've gotten in a rut of avoiding home cooked meals. In the last few weeks we've resorted to the simple things: pasta, tacos, burritos, etc. Simple chicken or beef centered quick meals.
For breakfast we have cereal.

While there's nothing really wrong with those basics, it's been way too long since I've meal-planned, or seen a recipe I can't wait to try!
The best part of this breakfast hash is, it is simple, basic and quick - BUT it's filling, full of flavor and feels like a brunch-worthy accomplishment.

To see Elizabeth's original recipe, head on over to her original post.

For two people, I used:

- 4 small red potatoes (which I picked up at our local farmer's market)
- 1/2 an onion
- 1/2 sausage link (Hillshire Farm's jalapeno sausage)
- 2 eggs
- Pepper, Cajun Seasoning

I would love to add mushrooms next time - and maybe bell peppers.
The step-by-step is easy peasy.

Cut up the potatoes, sausage and onions.
Heat a skillet to medium heat, add a bit of olive oil, then toss in the potatoes.
You can season the potatoes while they cook.
Once they're about halfway done, add the sausage. Toss together and let cook for a few more minutes.
Last but not least, add the onions! They're the quickest to cook.
While the onions are adding their delicious flavor, you can fry up the two eggs in a separate skillet.

Add more seasoning if desired, bowl up the hash, and top with a delicious fried egg!
(Or, if you're anything like me, you'll leave your egg runny so it can seep into the hash for that extra bit of delish!)

I served this hash with toasted jalapeno bread from the farmer's market, and we ate breakfast in bed together. It was the perfect Sunday morning!

Let me know if you try this hash. With so many different flavors of sausage, and potential seasoning choices, the tasty opportunities are endless.
