BREAKFAST STUFFED SWEET POTATOES

The things women do to make themselves beautiful is bananas. And in my opinion, underappreciated.

My beautiful cousin got MARRIED, and bless her heart she asked my sisters and I to be in the wedding. Although I’m almost positive nobody was looking at me (I mean come on, the bride’s dress was stunning … nobody really pays attention to the bridesmaids during the ceremony right?), I also knew that those photos were going to be around for a loooong time, so making ourselves look as good as possible was a must.

In college, I liked to think of myself as a free spirit hippy type that didn’t concern myself much with how I looked – but rather, focused on my extracurriculars and having fun with my friends. In reality, I just didn’t have money to spend on looking good. Haircuts were few and far between, all my clothes were from the most inexpensive store at the mall, and spending $30 on face makeup was the most indulgent purchase I made toward my appearance.

Now that I’ve entered the world of you-a-grownup-Jordan-get-your-shit-together, I have come to realize that female grooming is expensive, time consuming, and PAINFUL. A $200 haircut and highlight is just the basic upkeep that needs to be done – and you better believe I delay that nonsense as long as my pride can handle.

Ingredients

1 sweet potato
4 eggs
2 slices turkey bacon
1/4 cup low-fat cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Wash the sweet potato and pierce it with a fork. Wrap it in a damp paper towel and microwave for 5 minutes or until tender, flipping it over halfway through.
Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a pan until crisp. Remove, crumble, and set aside.
Scramble the eggs, add salt and pepper to taste, and cook them in the pan until just cooked.
When the potato is cool enough to handle, cut it in half and scoop out about half the potato from each half. Reserve for later use. (I microwaved mine and mixed it with peanut butter for breakfast).
Fill each potato half with eggs, bacon, and cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds more until the cheese is melted. ENJOY!
For oven - bake the sweet potatoes at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes. Follow the same steps, then broil for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.
