I love a good paleo breakfast casserole. This is one of my favorite things to make on a Sunday and then eat throughout the week! I mean seriously who has time to make a big breakfast on a weekday?! I sleep until the absolute latest possible then I’m out the door to work. Instead of making a big family-style breakfast casserole, I decided to fill big poblano peppers with some of my favorite breakfast casserole ingredients. I love, love how these Paleo Breakfast Stuffed Poblano Peppers turned out! The poblano peppers create the perfect individual boats to hold up the breakfast casserole for me to take to work. I love the addition of fresh avocado to tie into the Mexican flavors of the Breakfast Stuffed Poblano Peppers! These Breakfast Stuffed Poblano Peppers are the perfect healthy grab-and-go breakfast or tasty individual breakfast for a fancy brunch feast!
Evidently monsoon season has hit Arizona. I had no idea it “monsooned” in Arizona until I moved here. I honestly thought the extreme heat was the only bad weather of Arizona. I was wrong! There is monsoon weather complete with flash flooding and microburst. There is also insane dust storms called haboobs. Even with the current crazy weather, I am still so happy I moved here! I am loving my new job and exploring a new city. Arizona marks the 4th big move of my adult life. Honestly I never thought I would move around this much! But with each move, I learn more about myself. I love exploring new places, trying new restaurants and finding hidden local gems.
