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

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.

I think the Vibrams and jeans ARE incredibly SEXY!! Maybe I am biased, I have been wearing Vibrams with skinny jeans for four years, and I am definitely a babe! Also, this recipe is fabulous!
What type of Coconut Flour do you use or like the best and do you sift it first?
i use coconut flour from tropical traditions. and no.
I’m pretty new to paleo and trying to convert my boyfriend! He gave this an 8 out of 10 on the “paleo scale” which means it was pretty damn good!
You may very well be a mad genius!
Been having mad cravings for ‘scuits and gravy lately. I used to love them, but haven’t had any in the 2 years that I’ve been Paleo. I’m glad I dug up this old recipe of yours. Should go perfectly with Brittany Angell’s biscuit recipe. I love her soft biscuits! They remind me of warm soft gluten filled biscuits thati used to love. Oh, tomorrow morning is going to be amazing!
Hilarious post, great recipe. I am always looking for those food blogs nobody knows about but should (but secretly I wish they never do so I can have all the awesome recipes to myself, muwahahaha). Anyhow, good work, funny, made me hungry.
OMG these are amaze balls!
Thanks for being a paleo God!
Holy CRAP- THIS IS AMAZING. I used the sweet plantain biscuits instead – put them in a bowl and poured the sausage gravy on top- so damn good. The flavor is amazing. I wasn’t sure if the gravy was going to be too coconutty tasting but it wasn’t at all. Perfect. Juli- you are a freakin wizard.
Was wondering what I did wrong. My oil was separating from the flour. I am new to paleo cooking, though I should be old, been doing Paleo for almost two years. VERY basic cook and wanted to branch out finally.
I made this gravy to go with our favourite paleo bicuits for breakfast at the weekend. (I have been craving bicuits and gravy!)I really don’t like coconut milk so was a little concerned about the flavor coming through. This was sooo scrumptious! Not even a hint of coconut. The kids and I loved them (including a picky eater – so picky that he’s very underweight)! I just finished the left overs. Mmmm! I will be making this regularly, it was so quick and easy. My kids actually asked me to keep this recipe, that really means a lot! We have been enjoying many of your recipes over the last couple of years. Thank you, thank you!! 5 stars
