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.

Vibram 5 fingers are not okay if you aren’t working out. Otherwise they are absolutely never acceptable.
Where can I find sweet potato biscuits. All we have is Hyvee and Pomegranite Market and both don’t carry them.
it’s a recipe of mine. there is a link for the biscuits in the recipe
I lovelovelove biscuits and gravy! I tried this recipe a few weeks ago, although the gravy didn’t turn out well for me. It was thin and I could taste the coconut flour in there. I should have known because in the past using the coconut flour, the ending results always have that pungent, dry flavor. I’ve never tried arrowroot though; Does that do the same justice, but without the coconutty flavor??
Cant wait to get the bf to make me these! (If it isn’t a protein cookie I don’t bake. Too much chemistry in my kitchen….I don’t measure) For the five fingers I like to sometimes think they’re wearing part of a skeleton costume from halloween. It makes them more whimsical and fun people in my mind, like “hey it’s like when I went to super serious job interviews and wore knee high stripey neon pink socks no one could see” or like the little girls walking with their parents around stores in princess dresses or pink tutus.
I couldn’t get my gravy to thicken. Is it maybe because I put a lil olive oil in the pan before the sausage? or not enough coco flour? i did 3 tsp, then put in two tbsp. still really thin. im bummed. this is the first recipe i didnt nail from your blog! Everything is so delicious
maybe you need just a little more coconut flour!
Not sure if this helps but I used arrowroot powder instead of coconut flour and when my roux got too dry I added fat.
As a FiveFingers junkie, I think the vibrams with the suit is VERY sexy 😀 It speaks to my inner hippie. The recipe is also fab, btw!
My boyfriend hates when I try new recipes because something ALWAYS goes wrong..especially when it involves Paleo-izing non-Paleo food. When I told him I was going to try a new recipe for biscuits and gravy he was not too excited.
So as I served him his plate in the living room on our fancy TV trays while watching The Fellowship of the Ring I was so nervous I couldn’t take a bite until I saw his first-bite-reaction.
HE FREAKING LOVED THEM!
Told me it was the best “Paleo meal” I had made him.
Sooo thank you for an awesome recipe and for brownie points with the BF.
Totally making these again.
What can I say.. this was an epic fail for me. I did not like the biscuits at all. Way to sweet and very wet. And the gravy was very coconut-y and grainy. Maybe it would be better with arrowroot..
Thank you for a great gravy recipe! I did a mixture of coconut flour and arrowroot to thicken things up. Question though… I’m pretty sure I had way too much fat from my sausage, as I was probably more like 3 tablespoons of thickener instead of 3 teaspoons. Once it all cooked down together, it was super greasy too. Was thinking next time I would remove the sausage, and remove the rendered fat, wipe the pan down (my sausage stuck some, not the best pan), and THEN add SOME of the rendered fat back in and go from there. So my question is, how much fat do you think we actually need? 1/4 cup? 1/2 cup? Thanks!
less than 1/4 cup should do the trick
Just made this, and I’m pretty sure you’re a genius. I used plain pork + seasonings to make it 21dsd compatible, and wanted to eat the whole pan with a spoon. Served over some coconut flour herb biscuits. Thanks for the recipe!
