This twice baked breakfast potatoes recipe is all that and a bag of chips. I can’t wait to share! Before I share it with you, let me give you some backstory.

Weight Watchers changing to the the new Freestyle program has me thinking a lot about my friend Andie Mitchell’s cookbook Eating in the Middle. The new Weight Watchers Freestyle program seems to be a lot about practical balance. Those of you who follow Andie know this is exactly what she has been preaching for years. It’s not about elimination and deprivation, it’s about “wholesome eating, most of the time”. I really like that concept and think this cookbook is going to guide me well throughout my journey.

I’ve been cooking from this book since receiving it a year ago. I can’t believe I haven’t shared it on Dine & Dish with you. Now’s the time!

For those who are looking to lead a more practical balanced life, I can’t recommend Andie’s cookbook enough. It’s packed full of recipes (with beautiful photography as well) that are great for a little indulgence and/or buckling down and being healthy. If you buy one cookbook as you aim to reach your health and wellness goals, it should be this one!

Also, if you love cookbooks that you want to just read from cover to cover, this is a must have book. You can purchase Andie’s cookbook, Eating in the Middle, here. You’ll love this gift to yourself, I promise. Do yourself a favor too. If you haven’t read Andie’s memoir It Was Me All Along, drop whatever you’re doing and read it, stat. It’s currently less than $5 on Amazon right now. (I wrote about my love for this book on this book review post).

Now, can we talk about these breakfast potatoes? Yes!!!

Here’s Why This Breakfast Potatoes Recipe is a Winner

1. They are Weight Watchers Freestyle Friendly

I love breakfast potatoes. I mean, who doesn’t, really? But I’d never had breakfast potatoes like this until reaching for Andie’s book. When I saw this recipe I knew it was one we would love and that I had to make it ASAP. I’ve made Andie’s recipe for twice baked breakfast potatoes a few times and love it. However, this time I decided to make it even more “Weight Watchers Freestyle” friendly.

Andie’s recipe is perfect. It’s really not one that needs changed at all because it’s wonderful the way it is. The only reason I decided to make changes is because I wanted to lower the Smart Points value of my breakfast. I knew there were a few ways I could do that. For example, instead of sour cream, I used plain greek yogurt. I also eliminated the butter and used coconut oil spray. In addition, I decided to forgo the cheese (I know, I know…). The result was a delicious breakfast that didn’t make a dent in my Smart Points quite as much as the original.

2. Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes can easily be made in advance

One thing I really love about these breakfast potatoes is they are super easy to prepare ahead of time. You’ll find that once you’ve prepared the potatoes, they can easily be stored in the fridge. Then, they are ready to reheat if you want a quick, simple breakfast. In addition, I think another way to make this recipe would be modifying it into casserole form. (Similar to this twice baked potato casserole recipe from Mom on Timeout). Either way, this recipe is a definite keeper!

3.  Making Breakfast Potatoes this way shakes up the breakfast routine

You guys, I don’t know about you but I get so bored with breakfast. It has never crossed my mind to make Twice Baked Potatoes as a breakfast food! It’s absolutely wonderful to find a recipe that helps to shake up breakfast. As a result, having extra breakfast recipes in my arsenal helps to eliminate that all to familiar breakfast rut. This makes me happy.

Sidenote: Have I mentioned to you how much I LOVE these storage containers for meal prep? They are my absolute favorite because they can go in the oven, fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. You’ll want to grab a set or two!

In conclusion, if you love breakfast potatoes give these twice baked breakfast potatoes a try! And definitely run out TODAY to buy Eating in the Middle by Andie Mitchell. With recipes like this one, it’s clearly a cookbook that will stand the test of time.

Have you ever been creatively stuck?

December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had. 
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!

I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!
