I hate recovering from stuff. Whether it’s a cold, injury, surgery, whatever I just hate that whole having to put yourself back together again.

Cramping, weird aches and pains, feeling tired and easily worn out are not things I love dealing with, and I’ve certainly dealt with my fair share of those things these last two years battling medical problems.

I saw the doctor Monday and he said I’m doing incredible. His words “you’re so much more advanced than I ever expected.” Don’t get me wrong, things have been going really well and I believe him. But there are days when my body reminds me I had major surgery and I need to slow the F down, and I don’t love that.

There’s nothing more that frustrates me than feeling like an 80 year old, and I’m not gonna lie there have been sprinkles of those days here and there. I was so tired I basically slept last weekend away. I’m hoping this means my body is working to repair itself so I can get on with life already. Geez. Doesn’t it know I have important things to do and times a wasting?

One morning I woke up in a doozy from my cinderella sleep and decided I need a little comfort to soothe my soul. That comfort came in the form of a spiralized sweet potato and zucchini layered in casserole form with breakfast sausage, drowned in eggs and Italian seasoning.

You see, growing up, my Mom always made breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls every holiday morning. It was family tradition, and one I always looked forward to. There was something comforting about a leisure morning and glorious smells of sausage and eggs luring you out of bed. Those are memories I will never forget!

This Spiralized Breakfast Casserole is a healthy version of that childhood favorite that’s equally comforting. I added sweet potatoes to give the casserole a “crust” like texture, and bulked them up with zucchini because I like to sneak veggies in wherever I can otherwise I probably wouldn’t eat them. Just throw whatever you got in there. Why not?

And because eggs and veggies are not winning at being the prettiest foods in the world, I made mine BEAUTY-ful by spiralizing the sweet potatoes and zucchini. I don’t know what I’d do without my $20 spiralizer.

Not only does the spiralizing make the veggies look pretty, but it makes them cook faster because they’re thinner. No roasting means you’re breakfast making life just got a whole lot easier. Are you in yet?

In case you aren’t, think about how awesome you’ll feel saying, “I made a Spiralized Breakfast Casserole.” Try it! This is one breakfast you’ll want to get out of bed for!

    This is such a great excuse to pull out my spiralizer! I’ve been making a breakfast casserole like this each week for easy breakfasts, so I’m planning to make your version next weekend. It’s loaded with so much good stuff!

    I hate the process too, it sucks, I think the worst part is the unknown of what the next day will bring. It’s so hard to live in the current situation, I feel ya! BTW I so need to order a spiralizer maybe I should have ordered that instead of my mini donut maker!

    Can this be put together the night before, refrigerated, and baked the next morning?
