Perfect for a weekend brunch, a Mexican inspired one pan Eggs Fajita Breakfast Skillet.
It’s been one month here in California. I arrived here positive and feeling so prepared, but the next day I wanted to go back home.
The first two weeks were rough, I was all over the place. One day I was happy, the next day I was sad, one day I was excited, the next day I was moody. My poor hubby had to put up with all my tantrums.
Life here consists of sunset walks on the beach and grocery store hauls. Although I’m so grateful for this life, every now and then I miss the sounds of sirens and city life. I miss my family and friends. I miss home.
Despite being so far away, it’s hard to dislike a place that offers so much beauty and serenity, and as a result everyone seems to be so friendly and happy.
Each sunset is uniquely beautiful and in fact some days are better than others. Furthermore, the weather has been great and I realize how lucky I am to be living in Southern California.
In retrospect, I feel silly for being so terrified moving out of the New York area, and more often than not, change can be a good thing.
And that pretty much sums up my month in SoCal. I’m leaving you with this delicious, healthy-ish, paleo-ish, gluten free Eggs Fajita Breakfast Skillet. Serve this delicious brunch dish with chips, or in a taco, or just as is.
