Happy {almost} Friday! Today I woke up 6 months pregnant! I know, crazy right?! On Sunday we celebrated Eric’s first Father’s Day and I got up before him and made a pot of coffee and started prepping breakfast to surprise him and make the day super special. I made him this Chicken and Veggie Breakfast Skillet and this No Bake Skillet Apple Crisp.

Eric changed his diet up in March– minimal sugar, dairy, and gluten free, and he hasn’t looked back so I’ve been working on creating some new recipes that we can both enjoy. He’s finally eating a bit more cheese (and sugar)… thank the good Lord because no pizza or cheese on things was a serious downer, especially for this pregnant lady.

The diet change became permanent for him after he started feeling soooooo much better. No longer super bloated after meals with delayed digestion and now he’s more energized!

I love this skillet breakfast because not only is it loaded with veggies and protein but it’s super versatile. I prepped this on Sunday but we’ve been eating off it all week. I diced up the veg and chicken real small and added it to an omelet and it can even be eaten as a dinner meal or quick lunch.

      Thanks Jess… we really are doing great. Chicken sausage is so easy– I love adding it to recipes for a quick protein option.
