Recipe Review: Ham + Swiss Skillet

I've found everything that's cooked and presented in a cast iron skillet to be so cozy and rustic.  I love it.  I never really cooked with cast iron until I started using the one Derrik brought into the marriage.  Really, he has every kitchen appliance you could want.  That and a knack for cooking were some pretty impressive qualities back in the dating days (he's cooking dinner right now so I can finally blog!).  

This recipe review is for the Fit Living Foodies Ham + Swiss Skillet.  You can get this recipe in their Transforming Recipes cookbook sample available here!  One of the founders of Fit Living Foodies, Alex Navarro, is my nutrition/performance coach!  She's the real deal.  Alex shows genius in the kitchen with low carb dishes.  This meal would work well for anyone following a low carb lifestyle, or simply wanting something that feels decadent to start the day.

This is one of our favorites for a relaxed Saturday morning.  Actually, Derrik made this, so I was quite relaxed! haha.  I'm reviewing the taste bud experience.  Team effort, right?

The Ham + Swiss Skillet gets total approval in the Nelson household.  We added some extra mushrooms and green onion.  This can be adapted to your preferences very easily.  If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

*I was not compensated for this review.  I just really like this recipe and wanted to share it with everyone!

Hey Louisville!

We made it!  Hundreds of miles, lots of pictures, home videos and unpacked boxes later - we're finding some normalcy around here (read: donuts).  To everyone who has asked about the move, prayed for us, and sent well-wishes, thank you from both me and Derrik!  Here are some photos of our first few weeks in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky.  This native Floridian girl is loving the fall leaves.

We checked out Cherokee Park this week for the first time and immediately felt transported back to our honeymoon in the Smoky Mountains.  Here are some snaps of the scenery.
