Salt and pepper does not count as an ingredient. Just facts of life people. Facts of life.
Biggest annoyance of the day: when I actually take the time to shave my legs and they are no where near as smooth as I’d like them to be.
Second biggest annoyance of the day: zits. Who do you guys think you are!?
OMG. I have contacted the three people who won the Cappello’s Giveaway {CLOSED} and still haven’t heard anything back!! What the. So check your email, even check your spam since I tend to use dirty language, and get to writing me back so you can get free stuff!! Aka Kristen, Beth, and Rebecca. Come on now.
So guess what I did?? After I told you all about my teenage meltdown on Monday stemming from my computer dying, I had a ton of responses telling me to set up a donate pay pal account. So if you ever felt like contributing to my site, you could. So that’s what I did. Well, someone actually helped me do it because I’m a 3 year old child when it comes to anything related to technology. But I now have a contribution button over off to the right. I feel kind of weird having one and I literally don’t expect anyone ever to donate money, but I thought I at least should tell you about it.
Now I feel weird and awkward. I wish you could see my awkward face right now.
Ever wonder if flies really do throw up every time they land? If that’s true, my should is covered in fly vomit. This bastard just won’t leave me alone.
Here is something I don’t totally get. Why is breakfast so hard for people. Because there really is a simple solution to it all. Eat what you ate for dinner. Don’t have any leftovers? That’s cool, make something like eggs and bacon. Can’t eat eggs? That’s fine, make this breakfast stuffed acorn squash but don’t top it with an egg. Free therapy session brought to you by JB. You’re welcome.
I hate when I plug my crockpot in, but forget to turn it on…until I wake up the next morning. Always a bummer throwing away meat. If I don’t have a date and I don’t have a huge slab of short ribs brewing in the crockpot, WHAT DO I HAVE WORTH LIVING FOR?!!? Oh that’s right, pumpkin bars. And the 86% dark chocolate bar I bought yesterday. I’m cool. We’re good. Emergency averted.
5 Ingredient Breakfast Stuffed Acorn Squash
- Yield: 2 1x

- Once your onions become translucent, add your breakfast sausage to the pan.
- Cook down, breaking up the breakfast sausage as it cooks.
- Once the breakfast sausage is almost all the way cooked through, turn your heat to low and add your inside of your acorn squash. Do this by using a spoon to scoop out the insides, leaving just the skin of the acorn squash. Be careful not the tear the skin!

I use the Plan To Eat online meal planner for my family. And I love that your recipes fit the format when I hit the “pin-it” button. (It works like Pinterest…but it’s private and only for planning meals.) Thanks for making that work for all your recipes…most sites don’t work!
About your zits…I have something to say. I went from vegan to a grainfree vegan, then to paleo. Vegan didn’t agree with my body…but I did it off and on for 7ish years. I craved meat so bad all 7 years. So I decided my body must have been telling me something. About a year ago a friend told me about Paleo. Then about 6 mths ago I listened. (yes…this has something to do with zits – getting to it). The ONE positive thing vegan did for me was it made my face just glow! I think this had something to do with the heavy amount of blended greens I consumed. On most days…I consumed 1/2 of a whole bunch of kale or other dark leafy green. I blended it in my vitamix with a lemon (with peel), ginger, celery, frozen fruit. Yes…I was on the trendy green smoothie train. I don’t consider myself beautiful…but people started telling me my face just glowed and it looked like I applied blush/bronzer…but I didn’t. (I don’t wear makeup at all).
Anyway….when I transisitoned (sorry…I am such a bad speller that spell check won’t even help!) to a paleo diet, I noticed the zits come back after many years!!! So I started my green smoothies again. And it worked. I feel like I am eating the best of vegan (green smoothies) combinded with all the yumminess of paleo.
So that’s my zit tip…green smoothies. Oh…and fermented cod liver oil. But not together.
I cant get my PTE button to work at all on her page! 🙁 I have to do them all manually.
Hiya!
This recipe caught my eye right away! I didn’t have any sausage thawed but always have bacon on the ready. So since I made one change I thought I’d make a few more…
So I added diced mushrooms, diced celery and shredded zucchini. My hubby doesn’t do eggs (weirdo) so I topped it off with some cheese (sorry). It was amazeballs I tell you! Can’t wait to try it with sausage soon.
Cheers,
Geny
Didn’t get the squash all cooked so used what I could and just plopped it all in a bowl. When I don’t have anyone whining at the table you know it’s an excellent breakfast!!
How come you havent submitted this photo to FoodpornDaily.com?! Looks great, keep up the awesome work!
never even heard of it haha!!
THIS IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I have made two of your recipes so far: the smoky chili and this. Both have tasted fantastic and have convinced me that when I graduate whole30 in 5 days, I will keep cooking and eating paleo! Your blog is amaze-balls. Thank you so much for sharing!
Just made this recipe for my bf and moi. It was supa delish. I am LOVIN your blog. I’m about to make the Apple Cinnamon muffins next!
my husband and i have been eating paleo for a week now. we feel great, and are planning to continue, but i’m running out of ideas for side dishes. i think i might try this without the egg as a side dish….thoughts? and yes, my shift button is broke, thus hindering my ability to capitalize .
that would be awesome without the egg!!
I made this the other day and it was awesome!
What an awesome recipe. I’ve been following your blog for several months, but this was the recipe I’ve tried–and I made it twice in one weekend. Wow. Amazballs, as JB would say.
One question: Do you think it’s possible your oven is hot? The first time I made it, I had to bake it way longer than you’ve noted. The second time I did it at 425, and it was great. Thoughts?
Shit! That was good!
