The weather is cooling down which makes my craving for a spicy breakfast heat up. And that means my hearty Southwest Vegetarian Hash is force to be reckoned with.
Fall sweaters, new skinny pants and way too high shooties (shoe/booties, how very clever of the shoe marketers) have led me to my desire to “do brunch.”
I’m all for taking this show on the road, as in to a great local restaurant where they do the cooking and I don’t have to.
But Smudge will have no part of it. She wants to eat at home. Who created this homebody?
So when we do, it’s time to eat farm to table as all of the trendy restaurant PR geeks have advised their restaurant clients to do. With seasonal ingredients in varying combos to switch up the daily routine.
Enter my Southwest Vegetarian Hash.
With a hearty fill of sweet potatoes and butternut squash, falls flavors shine and are actually devoured by my husband the bacon eater. Who alllllmost doesn’t miss his pig protein. Hey, that egg looks mighty fine.

And while you’re pondering what to wear for that brunch date, here’s what I’ve already decided to wear for my big weekend. So if you see me on Instagram, you’ll certainly recognize me because I’ll be wearing the same dang outfits I’ve worn to my last several blogger trips. A shopping trip is on the books as soon as I get back.
But today I’m in Kohler, WI for what’s setting up to be an amazing weekend of wine, food and frivolity at the Kohler Food and Wine Festival, and perhaps a little elbow rubbing with a certain female Iron Chef. If I meet Cat Cora I just might melt into a puddle. Luckily I’ll have some of my food blogger friends there to mop me up off the floor.
To say that I’m excited to be staying at storied The American Club, Condé Nast’s newly awarded reader’s choice for Best MidWest Resort, is an understatement. I am ready for some R&R and wining and dining–by someone else.

I fantasize about eating out for brunch but I can’t stand the long lines! I’d much rather make this homemade hash right at home! And with a drizzling yolk, how could I resist?
That egg is just absolute perfection …such a gorgeous plate of food, as always x
I had the pleasure of staying at the american club for a work event last year and it was GREAT! their little coffee/chocolate shop was adorable and I kept telling my honey over the phone that I would never be able to use our shower at home again because I’d moved on to bigger and better things in my life and it would never be the same.
This hash looks great! I love a good, spicy, potato-y breakfast. It’s the best!
One year my aunt went as “white trash” for halloween. she wore all white, a white trash bag, and taped pieces of crumbled up paper ‘trash’ to her. I thought it was pretty darn clever ;)
You had me at ‘hash’! Hash is one of my favorite meals of all time! It doesn’t matter if it’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner either. Yum.
Thank you so, so much for the mention! I bet you picked out something fabulous anyways :) x
Love that you added butternut squash to this hash. It is my favorite!
