Here’s another savory breakfast (or lunch, or snack…) recipe that’s easy to make ahead and save in individual containers for quick grab-and-go nutrition.
The combination of eggs and sausages is hearty and filling, and the sweet potatoes are perfect if you’re grabbing something on the run after a workout (for a lower-carb version, substitute winter squash or another favorite vegetable).
It doesn’t have to be just for workdays though; this would also make a tasty late breakfast on a weekend or day off when you don’t feel like cooking up a huge production. Throw some wilted spinach or fresh fruit salad onto your plate, and you’ve got a low-fuss breakfast ready in no time.
For the sausage, just make sure you’re buying a brand that doesn’t have any added junk – or you can make your own by mixing your favorite choice of meats and spices.
And of course, you can always experiment with changing up the vegetables: that’s the magic of egg dishes! Try it, see how you like it, and then tweak it, so it’s just right, and you’ll end up with a reliable standby recipe to keep you going strong through those busy weekday mornings.

Households across the country can struggle with mould growing in their homes, but there are ways to stop it.
Damp expert Richard Brown s ays the recent coroner’s ruling that two-year-old Awaab Ishak was killed by breathing in mould – in his family’s one-bedroom flat in Rochdale – shows how serious the problem can be, reports the Manchester Evening News..
“Up until the coroner made that judgement, it had always been assumed,” he said. “No coroner had ever actually took that step and categorically stated this item has killed – and unfortunately it’s a two-year-old that’s been affected this time.”
Richard, who is a damp expert with RBBA Ltd Building Surveyors said there are ways to deal with mould in your house. He stressed that “mould is a result of condensation, mould is not the cause”.
“What is meant by that is something is occurring that is allowing the germination of the mould and it is that something that must be rectified, not the mould itself.”
He added: “If you just treat the mould, it will continue to return, as you have not got to the bottom of the root cause.
“Mould spores are present on all surfaces, and largely, these spores lie there, dormant, waiting for the elixir of life, water, to spring into life. So it is dealing with the water that offers the success in treating mould. Stop the water, stop the mould.”
Just day-to-day living adds moisture into the air. Whether it be cooking, showering or just breathing, water will spread.
Richard says the secret to minimising mould is to “minimise how much moisture we, ourselves add to the atmosphere.” The primary cause is condensation which occurs when this warm air strikes a surface and cools rapidly, leaving a wet surface and allows mould spores to spread.
“You are always going to have a certain amount of condensation on your windows in the morning, about an inch around the bottom is normal. The entire window being covered is not normal,” said Richard.
“I would suggest, if there’s that much water on the window, there is a problem not with ventilation but extraction.”
Making sure your extractor fans are properly maintained is vital, he stresses, as they can often clog up. Also, being aware of the movement of moisture, from your bathroom to your bedroom for example, is important.
“The damp will always move to the coldest room in the property,” he said. “So if you have a room that’s constantly cold and you’re showering at the far end of the property, that damp will migrate towards that colder end of the property.”
Nine times out of ten the damp is causing issues in a place the moisture was not generated.
Richard has provided a number of tips to keep moisture levels down:

It’s rare to hear anyone say they loved middle school. Even past middle schoolers with positive memories never tout it as the best years of their life. So, how can kids today make it through? Try passing on these bits of advice for middle schoolers.
Simply put, it’s an awkward season. It’s a time of constant changes, social shake-ups, swinging emotions, and intense pressures. If I’ve learned anything from working with adolescent girls, it’s how hungry this age group is for comfort and reassurance. I hear it in their voices and see it in their eyes whenever I speak to a group, a look of searching and a longing to hear something – anything – to help them make sense of things.
Please tell me it gets better, their faces silently plead. Tell me this isn’t it.
Well, middle schoolers, I assure you that life picks up. There’s a bigger, more promising world beyond this rite of passage. In the meantime, I have 10 truths to center you. I hope they bring you peace and a little friendly guidance.
Those braces on your teeth that collect food? That acne on your face that miracle creams can’t cure? That giddy rush you get when your crush walks by, and you can’t think, talk, or see straight? One day these things will be really funny! They’ll be the memories you rehash again and again with your siblings and oldest friends.
It takes time, but as you gain confidence, your awkward moments become fun to share. You’ll readily admit yours and laugh at the comedy and conversation that result.
Eventually, you’ll have a dazzling smile, clear skin, and someone to love. Your current problems will have closure. So stay mindful of the big picture, and remember that even your worst experiences will pass.
