Lots of fun was had this weekend!
My family went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival on Saturday. Unfortunately, the winds were too strong and the balloons weren’t able to go up. We had fun hanging out together at the festival, anyway…..the fajitas and froyo we stopped for on the way home didn’t hurt either.
Sunday, I had a nice {but too quick} visit with my sister-in-law and mom. My brother and sister-in-law had come in from Mississippi for the Cowboy football game. I didn’t get to see my brother this time because he was already at the game with my dad when I stopped by.
It’s another Marvelous Monday!! Thank you, Katie for hosting another round!
- A week of beautiful weather in the forecast! So sorry to all of that aren’t having such nice weather and are experiencing destruction from Sandy. {Stay safe!}
- Halloween fun to be had on Wednesday!
- Had an AWESOME chicken enchilada dinner last night and I will be posting the recipe this week.
- Looking forward to something different for breakfast everyday this week.
Katie is also switching up her breakfast everyday this week and that gave me the idea to do the same. It’s always better to eat a variety of foods, anyway right? I thought I would share my breakfast with you everyday this week and maybe it will give you an idea of something you might want to make too. Feel free to share your own breakfast ideas or link to one of your favorites in the comments!
Breakfast is my very favorite meal of the day. I usually love eating a sweet breakfast; like pancakes or a sweet bowl of oats or cereal. This breakfast scramble is the perfect breakfast for me….it’s healthy, but also satisfies my sweet tooth. Also, the calories are low enough that you won’t feel guilty about adding plenty of yummy toppings. I actually posted this recipe a few days ago here, but I didn’t have a very good picture, since I ate the scramble in an almost empty sunbutter jar {which is always a great option}.
- ½ tsp coconut oil or cooking spray
- 3 egg whites (or similar desired amount)
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 small very ripe banana (if you don’t have a ripe banana, just mash up your banana and warm it in the microwave for about 40 seconds)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 1 packet stevia or other sweetener (optional and not Paleo)
- Favorite toppings, like nutbutter, coconut butter, honey, and/or fruit
- Heat coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Mix all ingredients.
- Scramble batter on medium heat, flipping and stirring occasionally for about 10 mins.
Hope you enjoy!

I hope you have a great week! <3
Katie Marvelous in My Monday 22 with a Wedding
I don’t often think of eggs with sweet. I always go savory. But I actually prefer sweeter breakfasts, and with all the pumpkin around right now, this is an easy idea to throw together!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance Friday’s Five!
I’ve seen this on Tina’s blog and it looks awesome! I’m always looking for a new breakfast because I tend to get in a rut with my breakfast meals all the time!
Danielle @ clean food creative fitness Marvelous in My Monday!
I was totally planning on making a similar scramble (inspired by tina at carrots n cake) tomorrow!
Jess @ JessieBear What Will You Wear Satisfied
You definitely should! It’s very yummy!
I love breakfast! In fact, I love breakfast so much, that I often go to bed already excited about the meal ahead of me in the morning…dorky??
I am a big fan of scrambled egg whites, toast topped with nut butters, jams, or pumpkin butter, breakfast burritos, and….cereal, of course! There is something about eating a big bowl full of cereal. I always mix 2-3 kinds of cereal to give it a little something extra. I am making myself hungry just typing this! 
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl Pizza for Breakfast: Breakfast Pizza Egg-Scramble Burrito
We are so much alike! My husband lie in bed and talk about how anxious we are to get up and have our breakfasts….haha! I also mix my cereals and have to have blueberries, strawberries and banana slices mixed in.
yummy!! those look so good!
glad that the balloon festival wasn’t a total bust, if u go away with some good eats, that’s usually a trip worth it in my book.
