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!

Eating in the Middle a cookbook by Andie Mitchell

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.

Book Lovers Giveaway (read to the end)!!! ⬇️ ⬇️ 

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days. Temporarily gone are the days of lingering in store, browsing the shelves, walking out with an armful of books I didn’t expect to buy. The pandemic has made independent bookstores pivot in ways they’ve never had to before, but I’m so happy to say they are CRUSHING IT! And as we virtually celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on 4/24, I wanted to share a way you too can help keep Independent bookstores afloat now (and in the future).

Spend $15 or more at your bookstore between April 24th and 26th. Submit your receipt at libro.fm/ibd and Libro.fm will email you a link to your free audiobook by April 28th! Easy peasy, right?

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
