Hi all! First, I must begin this post by saying…Happy August! Seriously though, is it really August already? This Summer has truly flown by. I should not even say this (please don’t hate me!), but before you know it will be Winter! :/ I think that I am ready for the holiday season, but I am definitely not ready for the cold and snow.
Second, I have to apologize, but I do not have much time/energy to chit-chat with you all today. Things have been super busy at work, I have been super busy at home, and I honestly feel a bit drained tonight (I wrote this post last night!). I wanted to share this recipe with you, though, so I am still going to post it. However, elaborate descriptions will not be happening. Please forgive me! 😉 All that I will say is that I have been loving experimenting with jicama and turnips lately, and I think that this was certainly one of my most successful outcomes.
“Healthified” Root Vegetable and “Sausage” Breakfast Hash
Servings: 1 large or 2 small
Ingredients
water, for cooking
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 large red bell pepper, diced
1 small to medium-sized turnip, chopped
1 small to medium-sized jicama, chopped
1/2 vegan “sausage” link, sliced (I used the apple and sage flavor from Field Roast)- AMAZING!
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaf
fine sea salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
ketchup or salsa, optional
Directions
1. Line a large skillet with a thin layer of water. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Once hot, lower the heat medium. Add garlic, onions, peppers, turnips, and jicama to the pan. Cook for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are mostly cooked through. Add additional water, as necessary, to prevent burning and sticking.
2. Stir in “sausage” and seasonings. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the “sausage” is heated through.
3. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the spinach to the pan and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
4. Plate up the hash…
…and top it with ketchup (of course!) or salsa, if desired.
I hope you enjoy this unique take on breakfast hash and a fun way to utilize turnips and jicama (new-to-me veggies) in your meals!
Have a great day, everyone! It should be a good one for me. It is Friday-eve, it should be a busy day at work (which means my day should go by quickly), and I am super excited for tonight because I get to try Kitchen Table’s food after hearing great things about it, all while meeting Erin for the first time since her move to Omaha. This will be my first time meeting another blogger, which I think is really cool :).

Girl don’t worry about being chatty! I love your blog whether you are loud or silent! I love the idea of taking a normal breakfast and making it vegan. I’m not strictly vegan, but a lot of times I eat like one. (It sounds weird, but I’m only 16 so my parents want me to remain unvegan until I’m at least 18 and they know I’ll fuel myself properly! They’re so cool with having mostly vegan/vegetarian meals!) With meals like this, veganism is fun and easy and delicious! Love it! Have fun at your meetup!
Thank you! And yes, vegan eating can be SO fun and delicious! I am glad that you are experimenting with some vegan meals!
I’ve never tried any of the vegan breakfast sausages, but I came really close to grabbing some the other day. I think I will give it a try!
CANNOT believe it is August!!
You should! And if you can find them, I’d definitely recommend buying the Field Roast brand. They are by far the BEST!
wow this looks delish!! : )
I can’t believe it is August either!! It’s cray cray! I complete understand what you mean about being busy with work and life, sometimes I don’t have enough time in the day to do a blog post and 3 days go by and I have not posted anything! : ( Makes me super sad because I love it!
I will deff. be trying this new recipe!
Yes, busy times come and go and I need to be easier on myself about not posting as much during the busy times.
Looks delish! I have some Apple Sage field roast in my freezer; I just may have to pull it out!
Oh, you definitely should! Don’t you just LOVE Field Roast? I would eat their products over meat any and every day. I honestly think they taste way better.
Jicama scares me! But, I love anything in hash form.
Good luck with all your busy stuff at work my dear!
Don’t be scared! 😉 Give it a try!
Hope you get rid of the crazy busy bee-ness before the weekend! And this sounds very tasty 🙂 I may have to try cooking with jicama on my own soon.
I hope so too!! And yes, you should definitely try cooking with it. I love experimenting with new veggies!
this hash looks awesome! i love jicama 🙂
Isn’t it great? I am so glad that I finally tried it!
Love this! Jicama is so good, but I never buy it for some reason. I think I just forget it exists sometimes! I don’t think I’ve ever had it cooked before though. This looks like a great way to it out. 🙂
Have a great time at your blogger meet-up!!!
You should definitely try cooking with it! I really like it that way, though I have yet to try it raw :(.
No need to chat with a recipe like this!! It speaks volumes!! SOO good and I need some breakfast hash now.
Haha, well thank you! I will keep that in mind ;).
I amloving jicima lately! and savory breakfastds are fantastic. TJ’s was sampling a new vegan sausage yesterday – it was suprisingly good!
Oh cool! I will have to be on the lookout for that at my TJ’s.
This hash looks so good. I love field roast and I love pretty much any reason to eat it for breakfast 🙂
Field Roast is AWESOME!
Yum! Looks great as always!
Thank you!! 🙂
Yay for blogger meet ups! I haven’t met anyone yet but I’m excited to whenever I get the opportunity. 🙂
Yes, I think it will definitely be fun! 🙂
Have fun at the blogger meet up! I’ve never done one before but they always sound like so much fun 🙂
Don’t they? I am very excited about it!
Sounds delish!
Thank you!! 🙂
August?!? I mean seriously – when did this happen?! I agree though the holidays will be here before we know it. I’m actually a bit excited for fall – it’s my favorite season… and time for pumpkin-flavored everything!
I really love Fall, too! And yes, you can’t beat the time when EVERYTHING is pumpkin flavored/scented! 😉
Do you have any ideas on what I could sub for the vegan sausage (veggie options…)? For some reason, I’ve never liked the taste of sausage, even veggie ones! #TWSS 😉
Maybe you could add in some diced sweet potatoes? Or you favorite kind of beans? That is probably what I would go with!
This sausage DOES look delicious! I cannot believe it’s August already, either. It’s scary! I am also ready for the holiday season but definitely not the cold weather that goes along with it….
Yes, but then again, it wouldn’t quite feel like the holiday season without a little bit of snow. We just need a white Christmas and then the snow can leave!
Seriously, how IS it August? I’m not ready for fall yet. This looks like my ideal breakfast, especially with the Field Roast added in! 😀
Isn’t Field Roast the best? I am so glad that other people realize how awesome it is!!
Mhmm I love root veggies! Especially turnips 😉 I can’t wait for fall because that’s when the butternut squash and sweet potatoes are the best!
Yes, there are SO many delicious veggies in season during the fall. That is a definite plus about the changing weather!
Awesome way to get your veggies in the morning :)!!!
Can’t beat that, right?? The more veggies the better!
Happy Friday. Hopefully tou get to rest <3
Thank you!! I hope so too! Have a great weekend :).
I have been loving jicama recently! I have been roasting it when I do my kabocha squash. I haven’t tried vegetarian breakfast sausage yet but this recipe makes me think I could give it a try!
You NEED to try them, especially the Field Roast brand. They are beyond amazing.
That looks so delicious!! It makes me want to look again here in Australia for Jicama 🙂
You should! Hopefully you get lucky and find some!
Oh hunnie, do not worry about not being in the mood to chat. It happens to all of us. I’m just happy you were sweet enough to share yet another delicious recipe 🙂 Now go enjoy your weekend & have an absolute blast.
Aww, thanks! I hope that you have a great weekend too!!
wow this sounds delicious! it is making me crave brunch really badly now. too bad I am at work 🙁
Darn work!! I hope your day goes well though!
This looks super unique and tasty!
Thank you! I sure enjoyed it :).
This looks so good! Gosh, I have yet to try a Field Roast “sausage” – I haven’t found them in my area yet…maybe our health food store/co-op would have them?! yum!
They certainly might! I find mine at Whole Foods, but have also seen them in health foods/co-ops/and some grocery stores. You could also request that you store start carrying them. They are SO worth it!
You know what is happening in food right now! Field Roast sausages are so amazing! Great flavor and texture! Daiya cheese is so great too! I can’t wait to see your other recipes!
LOVE Field Roast and Daiya!!
