Mini Bells as Shells Breakfast Tacos

September 18, 2016 by Valerie

img_6719

I don’t have any other reason for making up these little “tacos” except that I opened the fridge to make breakfast and realized these mini bells had to be used up & soon! Surprisingly, these came together very quickly and what made it even better is hearing my hubby from the other room making his, “mmmm…..mmm” sounds!  

I’m back to work now and finding the balance w/a scheduled day again. Life is so much more simple when you get up, get your workout in and plan your day afterward! Now, it’s pretty much just a rushed morning to get out the door, work, then do my workout….then cook, clean and hopefully get some veg time in before I’ve got to get things ready for the next day. The first 2 weeks that school starts back up are hard getting back into the groove. It slowly happens and I’m sure within the next week or so, I’ll be content with the routine. I guess I’m just pouting because I would so much rather be cooking, blogging or learning more about Beautycounter & trying to build up that business. All that said, I do love what I do (para-educator) and appreciate that I do in fact, have a job! (*sigh – thanks for listening!) 😛

So in combination of the rant of getting back to work and this recipe – I believe this would be a great recipe to make up the filling ahead of time and have stored in fridge to dish into these mini bells on a busy weekday morning. Heck, these would even make a quick snack or dinner! As I have said time and again, I’m all for making meals simple and easy. And if they can be made up quickly, that’s all the better! Right?!? 

What’s a quick and easy breakfast you’ve got up your sleeve? Do tell! I’m all ears & would love to know how you all make your mornings run smoothly and as seamless as possible! Please leave me some ideas in the comments! Okidoki my friends, enjoy this recipe 🙂

Ingredients
  1. 10 mini bellpeppers
  2. 1/2 cup favorite crumbled sausage
  3. 2 cups spinach
  4. 5 eggs
  5. 2 tbsp ghee
  6. 1 avocado
  7. 2-3 tbsp chipotle lime mayo
  8. Salt & Pepper
  9. Garlic powder
For avocado/chipotle lime guac
  1. Mash one ripe avocado in bowl & add 2-3 tbsp chipotle lime mayo. Add a tbsp of water to thin out a bit and season with a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Mix and mash with fork to combine.
For mini bells
  1. slice one side (not quite in the middle, to keep stem in tact - it makes it easy to grab & turn over if necessary and makes a bigger pocket), seed and set aside. *Keep sliced edge of mini bells to add to a tuna or chicken salad 🙂 or dice & add to your pan of sausage & spinach!
Directions
  1. In a large pan, brown sausage to nearly done. Add ghee to melt, then spinach & stir to mix in with sausage & wilt down the spinach. Sprinkle garlic powder and stir.
  2. Crack the eggs into the pan with sausage/spinach mixture - "scramble" in pan to combine with mixture. Stir around occasionally.
  3. While eggs are setting, set a wire rack on top of open flame on stove. Lay the cut mini bells, skin side down onto rack and let the bells char a bit over flame - turning if needed to cover all angles. Typically, this takes 4-5 min for my liking so depending on your "char likes", you can add or take away time on flame.
  4. Plate the mini bells and spoon your egg mixture into the bells ....top with the guac and eat!

A bit about Valerie – aka: Coco

Living a healthy, clean & active life - using a paleo lifestyle as my template. I love to cook using real, whole foods from proper sources, as well as bake sweet treats for my never-ending sweet tooth! CrossFit is my 'drug of choice' :) And running is my meditation time. If I'm not in the kitchen, you'll find me with my hubby/family - enjoying life!

Hanging with my kids is one of my favorite things Hanging with my kids is one of my favorite things to do! 

You raise them and hope that they turn out to be decent human beings. And then they are grown ….and way beyond decent! 

It’s so fun to now be friends with my “kids” and enjoy their special qualities within each one of them! 

Mother’s Day was so fun trying to get to the Hollywood sign. I have been to the sign …so I wasn’t really caring about the destination- I was fully enjoying the journey with Kylie and Dustin! Colie stayed back with her own kids. We missed her but totally understand that she is now a momma too! 

I am truly thankful and blessed! 💛
Lots and LOTS of new faces here - so I thought I w Lots and LOTS of new faces here - so I thought I would take a sec & tell you a little about myself! 👋🏼 

First of all (for the original followers), as you can see - I am not spazicoco anymore - well, still a spaz but ….name changed to ‘a daily dose of coco’! So it IS me! Stay put 😉

New peeps here …THANK YOU for following and catching my daily doses of life! 

I’m a happy wife, momma of 3 grown adults and 2 adorable granddaughters! 

I live in So Cal and LOVE to be outdoors. Favorite weekend past times are babysitting M&M, riding bikes, walking at the beach, hikes and hanging with friends and family! 

I’m 57 going on 37 🤗 I follow a paleo lifestyle and have for about 11+ years …and have never felt better! 

I rewrite groceries lists if they are too messy (and yes, I still use pen and paper!).

I don’t wear tennis shoes unless I’m working out - it’s usually sandals, flats, booties or boots 😉

I love my coffee & piece of dark chocolate every single day! 

I like living a healthy lifestyle by way of food, safer products and daily movement! 🌟

I am called Coco because mannnnny years ago (1980ish), when my first niece was born - being the only dark one, in a sea of blondes - they gave me a special name of Coco ….and it stuck!! And since I’m a dark chocoholic, it worked!

I was hacked at my other IG of cocospaleokitchen and lost all my photos, videos and 54k+ followers 😩 I made so many wonderful connections and miss it! I decided to just remain positive and move on …so this IG migrated into a combo of both spazicoco and cpk! If you’re a cpk follower- yay!!! Glad you made it here 💛

I’m happy you’re all following along and allowing daily doses of me to trickle into your lives! Please message with any questions or comment away 🤩 I love to connect with all of you!

I love this! I instantly thought of our mentorshi I love this!

I instantly thought of our mentorship group - and how everyone is so supportive of one another …cheering each other on. There isn’t a detection of a competition from person to person. 

I do however, compete within myself and strive to meet goals that surpasses my last goal! 

No one else is my competitor, but me. While I silently compete within myself & strive to hit my goals …….I will also be cheering you on, celebrating your victories! 

Whether it’s in business, in school, in the gym ….whatever it may be - be your own competitor & improve on you, based on where you once were! You really are the only person you need to impress!

Do you even collagen? Did you know we stop produci Do you even collagen? Did you know we stop producing collagen naturally, in our 20’s??!! 

OK! So I have been taking collagen for yeeeeaaars but in powdered form. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, I decided to checkout this liquid BioCell collagen and was AMAZED!

Not only did I not have any joint pain, I saw hair growth in areas that weren’t growing (temple area) AND my hair stopped shedding as much! I also noticed and felt my skin being more supple, as well as nail growth (too much! 😬) and strength. 

Another huge bonus by adding in the Trim BioCell collagen, was that my middle area was less bloated & I began seeing ab muscles 🙌🏼
**Trim has the same amount of collagen & hyaluronic acid as the other BioCell’s BUT has added CLA to inhibit dat storage and use fat, as well as promote lean muscle mass. 

The Trebiotics are added in to help with my gut health. Our gut is our 2nd brain and literally reacts to all the things we put in and on our bodies! We need (yes, NEED) to make sure our gut is in check to keep us healthy AND WELL! The Trebiotics has pre, post and probiotics all in one scoop! 

Do you want to thrive in life? Are you ready to feel good? Let’s thrive together as well as grow old gracefully 💛

Click link in bio and tap the ‘My Daily Dose’ tab and check out these products. You can most certainly delete anything from the cart (I added the Trim + Life bundle as it saves a few dollars buying it that way …but there are also single bottles in the cart too). Message me with any questions!

**edited as I misspoke in video - Trim has the exact same amount of type 2 collagen & hyaluronic acid as all of our BioCell collagens - but has added CLA!

I cooked 3 eggs, 3 sausages and spinach for my hub I cooked 3 eggs, 3 sausages and spinach for my hubby and I. Why didn’t I make 4??? Well …here’s why ➡️ there were only 3 @pedersonsfarms spicy breakfast sausage left in the package & there were only 3 eggs left in my carton …so I went with it (I have unopened, of each …but ‘eh’ …let’s just divvy up what’s opened)!

Hubby got 2 eggs and one sausage and I got one egg and 2 sausages!!!! I think I WON! 😉

Scooped up the yolk that runneth into the  spinach with a @mikeys cassava tortilla! 

That’s what was for breakfast 😋 What was on your plate?

Easy like Sunday morning ✨ I’m battling some Easy like Sunday morning ✨

I’m battling some crazy allergies & sitting here, with my head back to keep my nose from dripping, is all I need/should do right now! 

I really don’t like to give in to things - I like to be up and about but I try to tell myself, what I would tell others ….and that is, “It’s ok to give in and be still!” 

So. I’m enjoying this moment, in hopes that steering clear of the outdoors today, will help my allergies relax a bit! 

What am I doing for my allergies?? I’m diffusing frankincense, doubling up on vitamin c, rubbing ‘Breathe’ essential oil on my chest and now, just vegging with my Buttercup in lap! 

So here’s to a nice relaxing day! Enjoy yours, no matter how you spend it!
