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.
- When the flavors meld, add breakfast sausage back in. Taste and salt and pepper as needed.
- Pour on top of biscuits. Or eat with a spoon. Or drink. Whatever you need.

This made me laugh. Because I know exactly the guy you’re talking about that was wearing those. And I tried to stifle a smirk when I saw it as well. Awesome recipe btw:))
Seriously. Your blog is the BEST. I love that you are not serious, you are not a food snob, and you make recipes like BISCUITS AND GRAVY. You are my hero. And you are why I can stick to a paleo-esque diet. Thank you.
Five fingers are ok in public, but only as a part of a Halloween costume.
Florida, just move to FL with me!!! There is plenty of humidity here and it’s great for the skin!!! Miss you tons and cannot wait to see you in a few weeks!!!! xo
So SO good. Just made this for dinner and even my super picky husband who claims to not like shrimp, loved it!
Definitely your best recipe (that I’ve made) so far. I’ll be making this again and again. I used a yam and omitted the sage because my husband doesn’t go for strong spices. Fabulous!
Oh and I nuked the yam to save time lol
I tried the gravy and it didn’t come out spot on for me. It just took a really long time to get remotely thick and I had to use a crap ton of almond flour to get it there which affected the consistency – kinda pasty. I will def try again though.
Made this for brunch! I’m in love! It will be my new monthly splurge!
The links to the biscuit and sausage recipes aren’t working for me. Help!
it should work now!! sorry about that!
I don’t do your recipes justice. They never turn out quite right. Made the biscuits and gravy tonight. The biscuits are pretty close. But the gravy is thin and sweet (tastes pretty strong of coconut) despite following the recipe exactly. Good thing the jalapeno cuts some of the sweetness. Not bad but I know it could be better. Will have to add to the “try again list”!
I finally read your blog on this, and not just the recipe. Hysterical — and I totally agree. Another ‘nit’ of mine, are the guys who were socks with sandals. Might as well wear a pocket protector and tape on their glasses too. BTW — just showed this recipe to my (non pale) husband who’s family is from Louisiana — I will evidently be making this for breakfast next weekend.
