Sweet Potato Sausage Breakfast Casserole
It’s taken me 8 winters in Minneapolis to finally proclaim that I can hang with the polar bears around here:
1. We count years here by the number of winters one has endured. The more winters you’ve got under your belt, the more badges of honor.
2. Polar bears are really humans who throw their heads back and laugh in the face of extremely brutal temps.
I will probably never crack a smile about winter, but I can finally say I’m officially Minnesotan: for the first time in my real and imagined life, I went for a two hour run in -12F actual temp (-24F with windchill and definite peer pressure.)
Admittedly, the spread of brunch food after our frigid group run made the day so. much. better. There were plenty of healthy grain bagels, GF and sugar free granola, fresh fruit, egg bakes, and healthy breakfast casseroles.
Speaking of healthy breakfast casseroles, check this irresistible Sweet Potato Sausage Breakfast Casserole…
