Austin is a really cool place. Like, super cool. And I haven’t even ventured into town yet. I’m just really digging the weather. It’s slightly humid right now and not too hot, so my skin is way happier. I swear, my skin always is happier in humid places. No matter how much I moisturize and oil and glob on anything hydrating, my skin is always dry in CO. Stupid skin. Stupid CO.
So PaleoFx has been fun so far. I haven’t done much or listened to much, but I’ve met some bloggers and some food lovers. Those are the best kind of people. It’s just so intimidating. All these people know so much and I don’t even know how to find jeans that fit correctly. But seriously. All these people have fantastic cookbooks and blogs and podcasts and gosh knows what else, and I feel like a child. A 24 year old blogging child who knows how to do nothing. Except eat.
I know what I need to do. I need to work on confidence. Sexy Juli 2013 is not possible without confidence. And remember how that was one of my New Year’s Resolutions? Well it was, and it’s still a work in progress.
Speaking of sexy, let’s talk about what’s not sexy. Actually, we’ll talk about what IS sexy and what IS NOT sexy.
Lesson 1: What IS sexy
- Men in jeans with flip flops. I dig that look. If a guy can pull that off, I’m down. If he can’t, he probably should get tanner feet. And relax a little more. Relaxed people tend to be sexier people.
Lesson 2: What IS NOT sexy
- Men in jeans with five fingers. And a dress shirt. And a blazer. Not ok. Do you hear me?? NOT OK. Just because you have pale toes doesn’t mean you have to wear gloves on your feet. I understand the benefit to five fingers, I do, but when you’re having dinner, after you’ve showered and shaved and put on pants that are more snug around your nether regions, do not slide on foot socks to sport around women who are in high heels.
Lessons learned by JB. You’re welcome male population. I just got you laid. And when I say laid, I mean I just got you flowers around your neck in Hawaii. Not really, but I have to say that so people don’t get offended. But seriously, you’re welcome.
Do you remember the other day when I posted Shrimp and Jalapeño Sweet Potato Biscuits? Well, I topped them with gravy. Because I want gravy on a regular basis. These still aren’t exactly the same, but they did the job. I’m not craving them anymore. Right now I’m just craving sleep. Talking about paleo all day is exhausting. Not really, just eating a lot of food and standing is exhausting. Not really. I’m just a bore. And similar to a child.
Oh goodness. I need to do 13.4 tomorrow.
Biscuits and Gravy
- Yield: 3-6 1x
Ingredients
- 6 Shrimp and Jalapeño Sweet Potato Biscuits
- 1 (14 ounce) can of coconut milk
- 1 pound Pork Breakfast Sausage
- 3 teaspoons Coconut Flour (or arrowroot powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/8 teaspoon smoke paprika
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Make your biscuits!!
- While biscuits are cooling, add the breakfast sausage to the pan and cook until you no longer see any pink, breaking up the sausage as it cooks.
- Once meat is cooked through, remove with slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
- Leave the rendered fat in the pan and add your coconut flour to the hot pan teaspoon by teaspoon while constantly whisking.
- Once you get a thickened mixture, add coconut milk to the pan, whisk then add the parsley, garlic powder, sage, smoked paprika and salt and pepper. Mix well.

Cannot wait to try this recipe, I have been having major biscuit cravings!
I was in attendance this weekend at the Paleo Fx as well, and agree with you wholeheartedly… Dress clothes + fivefingers = no bueno!… GIVE IT A REST! A few hours in dress shoes isn’t going to kill you… By the way, I loved your cooking demonstration, really fun!
I love you for this. Seriously.
Delicious. DElicious.
Sorry if I missed it but what are your thoughts on almond milk instead of coconut milk?!
no, you need canned coconut milk
This looks amazing – before we ate paleo my husband and I would make “healthy” biscuits and gravy with skim milk, whole wheat flour and probably reduced fat sausage. Hah we were so naive. Anyways – I am now 7 months pregnant and realllllly would love some cereal. I’m not going to say it’s a craving but lets just say I’ve been thinking about it a LOT. So my very simple request is that you make an easy paleo cereal or granola for all the pregnant paleo people out there who refuse to eat corn flakes. : ) I make your recipes all the time so I trust that you’ll come up with something good. By the way – congrats on your cookbook and your cooking shows!!! Thanks for all the amazing meals and recipes!!!
I’m so dumb with canned coconut milk. Do you use the whole thing??? Do you mix the thick stuff with the watery stuff? D you use the whole thing?
Ugh, sorry I’m so dumb. Please help
the whole thing! yes thick with water then use the whole thing.
In the process of making the gravy now and have the biscuits in the oven, made with pumpkin and def need to up the flour because it was puréed and soupy. Took a little piece off the corner and still tasted amazing, doesn’t bother me that they look like pancakes!
This made for an incredible meal!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!
I’m glad you liked your stay in Austin! Its defiantly the best city in the best state (can you tell this is where I live lol)
I just made this and it would not thicken! I had to use like 5 1/2 teaspoons of coconut flour, do you have any idea what I did wrong?
