Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach Egg Scramble

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:

Nikon Camera ReturnIt’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?

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.

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.Roasted Red Pepper Spinach Scramble | Inspiration Kitchen-3704

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.

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.

Roasted Red Pepper Spinach Scramble | Inspiration Kitchen-3742At 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.

    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!

      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!

    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? 😉

    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!

      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!

    This egg scramble (minus the bacon) is what I like to start the days off in the weekend. It’s a complete colorful meal!

      I actually never intended to photograph it until I saw how colorful it was in the pan. I thought “grab the camera!” Hahaha!

    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. 🙂

    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. 😛

      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!

    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!

      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!

    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!

    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.

      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!
