My boyfriend camera’s back and you’re Nikon’s gonna get in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend camera’s back)!
You know what? Nikon is kinda in trouble with me, because lookie:
It’s apparent they didn’t get my love note. And to think that I put a pink heart in it and everything.
I have to admit…, I’ve never been dumped by a Packing Slip by mail before.
p.s. the photos in this post were taken with the back-up camera. I didn’t get my new camera back until late Thursday afternoon.
And…I have an announcement to make. (Wait for it, wait for it!) Lookie, lookie – finally! 6 eggs and no shells. Progress, yes?
If you’ve been around here a while, you know that I’m not a huge fan of breakfast. You also know that I can’t crack a simple egg without it either getting shells in it (see item #5), or have it splattering all over the counter like when I made the Fortune Cookies that look like lips.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I like to eat. Just not the typical things you’d find on a breakfast table. Like pancakes. Or omelets.
In fact, I had a peppermint milkshake for breakfast just yesterday.
But, never, ever do I shy away from bacon. Because that would be wrong.
But, this scramble turned out ssssoooo incredibly good, that it’s going into the rotation so that we can have it more often! And to think that it’s so healthy and packed with vegetables and spinach – my favorite superfood! Bonus!
For this recipe, I had to dig into the freezer for my orange and yellow peppers. You can see here they were frozen, but they worked great when mixed in with the eggs.
Ooooo colorful! Check these out when they’re all together! This is starting to look like a real party! Want to join me for a breakfast party, anyone? I promise, there will be no peppermint milkshakes at this party. I swear.
Now that we’ve got it all together, you just need to gently mix them up in a nice hot pan.
Of course, I had to add a dash of red pepper flakes to mine, which you can see in the photo! It makes it a bit spicy, but you can definitely leave them out if the spice of life is not your thang.
At this point, I have to admit, I was getting really, really hungry and things were starting to look real good. And, there was not a Peppermint milkshake in sight.
Enjoy!

Oh man, doesn’t it feel good to have your camera back?! I had to ship a lens of mine off to Canon to get fixed and just got it back recently as well.
And I totally get the whole breakfast thing. I’m not a fan of it either. But bacon… bacon I’m definitely on board with!
Kristi says
I think I shouted so loud I woke the neighbors! 🙂 How do people go without their cameras? And yes – I could totally go for a burger at breakfast. Hahaha!
Melanie @ Carmel Moments says
Looks like the perfect breakfast to get the day going. Does it matter that just ate breakfast though? I mean who’s counting how many breakfasts I eat, right? 😉
Kristi says
Right! I’m not counting! 🙂 Go ahead and dig in. Have a good day Melanie!
Cindy @ Pick Fresh Foods says
How rude of them not to acknowledge your note. That’s like someone saying oh, I never got your card and you know you mailed it, or when someone says your email when to spam. I sent it, I know it…don’t tell me otherwise! Haha Well, good thing is you got it back. Hooray!! And hooray for breakfast with no egg shells 😀 Looks delicious! Pinning!
Kristi says
I’m so darn proud of myself at the no egg shells thing. I can do dang near anything in the kitchen, but those eggs defy me! Haha! Thanks for the pin Cindy!
Tina @ Tina's Chic Corner says
My camera will never break! 😉 Oh man, I simply can’t imagine.
I’m loving this egg scramble. Pretty vibrant colors. 🙂
Kristi says
Yea, it was no fun. But, I’m so glad it’s home! Thanks for the compliments on the scramble!
Daniela @ FoodrecipesHQ says
This egg scramble (minus the bacon) is what I like to start the days off in the weekend. It’s a complete colorful meal!
Kristi says
I actually never intended to photograph it until I saw how colorful it was in the pan. I thought “grab the camera!” Hahaha!
Monica says
I’d love a big portion of this for dinner! I am big on routine (which isn’t very fun, I know…) so I love a ham & egg sandwich with a toasted English muffin sandwich for breakfast…and I make myself a mocha frap. Either that or some peanut butter on that muffin. I just love eggs and your scramble is something I’d enjoy any meal, any time. And yes to bacon. 🙂
Kristi says
Thanks Monica! I love your routine! 🙂 I am a huge fan of peanut butter on a muffin AND I also love ham and egg on it – two of my very favorites!
Ruby @ The Ruby Red Apron says
I love all the colors you added to these scrambled eggs! But I’m in shock. No egg shells?! haha I once cracked an egg and all of it just spilled onto the counter. It didn’t even make it into the bowl!
Anyway! Breakfast is like my favorite meal of the day! French toast, pancakes, oatmeal…. mmmm but not all together. 😛
Kristi says
Me too Ruby!!! The cracking egg thing is so frustrating. I wish breakfast was my favorite meal. 🙁 But I seriously could each lunch or dinner for breakfast! I know that’s not normal! Thanks for the compliments on the color of the scrambled eggs! I’m so proud of myself for no shells 🙂 Definitely progress! Have a great week!
Renee@Two in the Kitchen says
A peppermint milkshake for breakfast!!!! AHHHH, you kill me!! (that actually sounds fantastic!) I actually AM a breakfast person!! I love pancakes and omelets and all that good stuff. I love my scrambled eggs with red peppers! YUM!
So glad your camera is back! But honestly, your pictures turn out beautiful no matter what camera you use!!
Kristi says
Hahahaha! It was a good milkshake too. Being an adult definitely has it’s benefits! 🙂 I wish I were a breakfast person. But…I’m the first person you’ll see making a hamburger or sandwich for breakfast.
And, I have to tell you – I am sssssooooo loving my camera right now. Things are good with the universe!
But thank you for the compliments on my photos!
Lillian @ Sugar and Cinnamon says
Yum this is such a good idea!
Kristi says
Thanks Lillian! I’m so glad you like it! Have a great week!
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
You eat milkshakes for breakfast!? You go girl!
How did you deal without your camera for any length of time? I would have serious separation anxiety! I would be a wreck. I don’t even want to continue to think about it…I’m getting upset.
I think I might have to bust out of my current breakfast routine to make this omelette! It looks so good! And healthy. Bonus!
Kristi says
The great thing about being an adult, is you can eat what you want any time. 🙂 And, life is short, so why not? Hahaha!
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
So glad that your camera is back, but it is such a shame indeed that they did not receive your note awwh :–(
I am a big big fan of breakfast and this scramble looks gorgeous to me. How yummy!
Kristi says
Thanks Consuelo! I am lovvvvving that my camera is back. 1,000 shots just today. 🙂
Josefine {The Smoothie Lover} says
Haha! Oh, how I love you added a love letter. That’s so funny. You must be very happy having your camera back again 🙂
This scramble sounds delis!
Kristi says
Thanks Josefine – yes, finally! I feel complete somehow. I think the cats are tired of my snapping! 🙂 But, I’ve got some great shots! Have a great week!
Marcie says
I’d love to eat this for breakfast, but I’m usually too lazy for more than oatmeal. Lunch or dinner would work! Shame on Nikon.
Kristi says
I’m usually to lazy too – but I do manage to muster up enough energy on weekends!
Christin@SpicySouthernKitchen says
A peppermint milkshake sounds like my kind of breakfast! But this egg scramble looks really delicious too. Love how heavy you went on the veggies and bacon. Yum!
Kristi says
Thanks Christin – the Peppermint Milkshake was delicious! Hahaha! I don’t do it very often, but it makes it a great treat when I do!
Kelly says
Yay, so glad you got your camera back but can’t believe they never got your note. Ooo a peppermint milkshake sounds awesome for breakfast and so does this egg scramble! I love anything with roasted red pepper – this looks like such an awesome breakfast!
Kristi says
Thanks Kelly! Well, I can’t with a good conscience recommend a Peppermint Milkshake for breakfast :-), but it was tasty in a non-healthy breakfast kind of way. But, the Scramble was awesome! Highly recommend! Have a beautiful week!
