I literally pulled this out the oven as the crew came to continue work on the kitchen. For Day 3 of The Breakfast Cub Share Week, I have a breakfast quiche. I don't have a cool name for it but it's delicious. Bacon, fresh spinach, eggs, cheese and a crust made of Tumaro Wraps. Ingredients: 12 Eggs 1 Cup FF Cottage Cheese 1/2 Cup FF Skim Milk 1/4 Cup FF Mozzarella 1/4 Cup FF Cheddar 1/4 Cup Velveeta Cheddar (OPTIONAL) 2 Tumaro Wraps (White) 2 Cups Fresh Spinach 5 Tbsp Real Bacon (GO HARDER IF YOU WANT) 1/4 Cup Diced Onion Salt Pepper Garlic Powder Paprika Directions: Preheat over to 375 Add Egg, Milk and Cottage Cheese and seasoning <to taste> to blender...I highly recommend blending this to whip the mixture well, trust me. It will be so creamy at the end. I'd say blend for about a minute. Next we want to prepare the crust. I used a 9 inch cake pan. PERFECT SIZE for the wraps. Spray with cooking spray and lay down 1 wrap. Sprinkle on top some of your cheese to cover the surface then lay down your second wrap. Bake those together for about 5 min just so the cheese melts them together. Could you do this with 1 wrap, sure but it tends to float and will end up in the middle of your quiche, this process of the two and melting the cheese weighs them down. After that pre-bake, you want to layer your filling until you run out. Spread it out, get great surface area along the crust. I did Bacon, then Spinach, Cheese, Onion and then repeated it but also saved some cheese on the side for the last step. Now you want to pour your egg mixture over your filling. Pour in a circle to make sure you get it in all the crevices and fully cover your filling. Then you sprinkle a little more of that cheese you left on the side on top then bake for about 35-40 minutes. It may look raised when you pull it out but let it settle. The cheese and creaminess of the eggs and the bacon burst all through out. Damn! like for real DAMN! I cut this into 8 pieces and it's 1 Purple/Better Balance Point per serving or 3 Points/Bites for 2 And for my calorie counters....187 Calories Shout out to @balancedbrandi for putting this together.

Anybody box as part of their cardio? I’m not ready to invest in @fightcamp but I did find this gem on the App Store. @punchlabapp is the truth. It’s audio driven for free and when you sign up for the yearly membership you get a free strap for your existing heavy bag and enhanced app access for punch tracking and metrics. I just signed up today. The voice coaching is great and there is visual demonstration of the punches and techniques. You definitely build up a whole routine and if you don’t have a bag, shadow boxing works as well. Thought it was dope and wanted to share. <This isn’t and ad or promotion>

Wiser. I am more wiser this year than I was last year. What are you “MORE” this year than, you were last year. #ShareThis and tag me!!!

New year 👉🏿 Same Gooch. I finished 2020 with my sanity and my family. All happy and healthy. The game plan for 2021 is to just survive, everything else will fall into place if I can just be present and do the work. Keep your head up and your eyes open. Also consider this my submission for #buffbunnymodelsearch 🙌🏿

Today marks 2 gallons of blood donated to One Blood for me. Shout out to whoever gets this, I got that premium kool-aid! 😎 During this pandemic, US blood supplies are hitting some of the lowest numbers in some time. #giveitifyougotit

Maurice Andre Hill went from guest to shot and subsequently dying in less than #10seconds. The decision was made by the officer within #10seconds of initial contact to shoot Andre Hill. Andre Hill was shot within #10seconds while holding a phone. Maybe the same phone you’re reading this on now. #10seconds after Andre Hill was shot, help was not rendered. 10 seconds passed and passed again and 10 seconds passed close to 25 times before help was rendered. Almost #10seconds passed reading that. #andremauricehill #RIP #answers #accountability #actions

Haven’t posted in a while but the reality is, in the midst of a failing kitchen remodel, cooking just isn’t the same. That hole on the floor is where our island used to be. We’d put cheese, pickled onions, olives, lettuce, all the #tacotuesday seasonings layed out. Nice spread! Now we have about 4ft of usable countertops, all the utensils and serving ware is spread out along the dining room table. Still no ETA on completion. It’s low key stressful and killing the holiday vibe as far as cooking and baking. We still here, we still eating.

Been wanting to get a routine going to help regain some focus and structure . I saw this journal at @marshalls and flipped thru a few pages and needed it. I think it will be very interesting to flip thru and see where I am in 2021 as a lot of the questions are very personal and thought provoking while showing you by just doing a little bit can change a whole lot. It’s on Amazon for $12 but I got It for $4 at Marshall’s.
