Sausage and Hominy Hash

This is a hearty breakfast hash that is easy to make. Put a spoonful on a plate, sprinkle on some shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and top with a fried egg (fried in coconut oil for a healthier alternative).
Serves 4-6

1lb pork breakfast sausage
1 small leek or onion
1-4 oz container button mushrooms
1-15 oz golden hominy, drained
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

In a large saute pan, saute the sausage until completely cooked.
Remove sausage from the pan. Add leek or onion and mushrooms
to drippings in pan, saute until soft and beginning to brown. Add salt,
pepper to taste and the fresh thyme. Saute 2 or 3 minutes then add
the drained hominy. Heat through for 5 minutes.
                                     
                                        While the sausage hash is cooking, fry the eggs. We like ours over medium.
I use about 1 tablespoon of  coconut oil to fry the eggs. Put a heaping spoonful of hash on a plate, top with some of the shredded cheese, and then place an egg on top. Serve with hash browns or toast.
Enjoy!

Love, love, love vintage stores, antique stores, consignment shops, &  flea markets. You never know what you are going to find. I found this vintage clipboard at a flea market. I love the wood that it's made out of but I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but decided to purchase the clipboard because it was only $6. It's become a great place to hang to-do lists,  grocery lists, etc. I like to research vintage items that I find. I was able to found information on this clip board. It has the  brand name on the clip, which usually makes researching easier. It is from the 1940's.

About a year and a half ago, my husband and I bought a new home. In the kitchen there is a greenhouse window. At first I thought "what am I going to do with this window?, do they even make these windows anymore?!" With some creativity and a vintage lead light stained glass window, I love it now! It's a great place to put pots of herbs, succulents, or flowering plants especially in the winter time when it is too cold to plant outside. The window provides plenty of sunlight and warmth for the plants.

I am not a fan of winter, but what are you going to do? Make the most of it! Get the fire going, watch movies that you have not had time to watch, get organized, or be creative and check in to making a craft project or refresh some of your decorating. I have been trying to take my own advice! Try to stay warm and remember, the first day of spring is only 69 days away!!
