When you need a good hearty breakfast, full of protein, potatoes, and eggs, but don’t have time to sit down to a big plate full of food…Hashbrown Egg Nests are the way to go. You can even make these ahead and just reheat when you’re ready to eat. And they’re the perfect size to grab and go for a quick breakfast on the run. You can change up the ingredients to whatever meat and veggies you happen to have in your fridge.

This looks like a great alternative to frozen waffles for the kid’s breakfasts in the morning! I, like everyone else in the world, will be starting my diet tomorrow. So, I’ll be checking back for recipes.
I have been a bad blogger and haven’t been posting or even checking comments for the last few months, and I just saw this. I will be back on the blogging wagon again starting next week though, so please check back for new recipes!
