Notes

Adapted from http://www.aimeemars.com/

I use lean ground turkey sausage for this casserole.
I love the flavor and it barely has any grease or fat!

eat a large skillet over medium heat and add turkey. Crumble and cook until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

You need 9 thin slices of a peeled sweet potato.

 I wrapped the rest of my sweet potato in aluminum foil and baked it
next to the casserole to have later.

Grease an 8×8 baking dish and line the bottom with the sliced sweet potatoes.

Dice 1/2 a sweet yellow onion.

In a medium bowl beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.

Add the shredded cheese to the eggs and mix well.

Pour the beaten eggs in the dish, on top of the sweet potatoes.

Add the cooked turkey sausage on top.

Then sprinkle spinach and onion on top.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until set.

 

Cut into 9 square servings and serve warm.

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way.
