So the other day, I went to Whole Foods and grabbed some blueberry breakfast sausage. They were all out of regular breakfast sausage, so we had to settle for the blueberry kind. I wasn’t complaining at all. Have you ever had that kind? It’s fantastic. Anywho, it helped me think up this recipe on the spot. You see, I’ve been creating all these new recipes for my cookbook and it’s sometimes hard to think up new recipes for the blog at the same time. I’m just not that talented. So I’m sorry if you’ve felt as though the blog recipes aren’t as high quality as they could be. Don’t worry. Once the cookbook is all settled, you’ll be able to get those even tastier recipes from my book!
I’m sad. My tan is officially gone. After my trip to Powell, I was pretty damn close to the brown shade in the crayon box. Not really, but kind of. And after weeks of peeling, I’ve become very pale. Probably not paleo to the normal eye, but to my perfected vision, I’m disgustingly pale. I just my blog name literally fits now. Ha. And you know what that means? That means I am forced to wear spandex capris and pants again to cover up my large pale legs. And you know what I forgot about spandex pants and capris? They are hot. Like real, real hot. As soon as I put them on, my ass crack is sweating. No joke. Then I feel like I’m having heat flashes. I’m not ready for menopause yet. I’m just not. Damnit paleness, damnit.
So I figured something out. I really like flying United. I haven’t flown enough in my life to know what the good and bad airlines are, but I know that I LOVE United. They are awesome. You know why? Ok, I’ll tell you. So first of all, they are way more spacious. When the girl next to me got obviously super anxious for our 2 hour flight, her legs began to shake. Like bounce, the move side to side, then she would wiggle while she read the notebook I was writing on. Super polite stuff. So I was quite pleased that I could block this stuff out since she didn’t even come close to hitting my legs with hers. Then the drinks came around. Instead of getting a dinky sized cup of club soda like you would normally drink whiskey on the rocks with, I got a whole can of club soda. A WHOLE CAN. Ah man I was pumped. But the best part of it all…just wait…they played TV shows. And you know what show they put on…THE NEW GIRL. Holy balls, I love that show. And I almost forgot how much I love it. Thank gosh United reminded me because the season premiere is September 25th. I made that up, but I’m pretty sure it’s a pretty damn good guess. OMG I’m excited. Dear United, thanks for being the best airline ever.
Blueberry Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes or yam, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1lb Bison Breakfast Sausage
- 1 egg, whisked
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut your sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and place in oven to bake for 25-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft when you poke them.
- While your sweet potatoes bake, place your breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat and cook down, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat.
- When your meat begins to brown, add your blueberries and sprinkle in a bit of salt and pepper.
- Cook down until cooked through. Discard excess liquid from meat and blueberries. And place mixture in a large bowl.
- Add your whisked egg and mix to combine.
- When your sweet potatoes are done cooking, cool for a couple minutes, then use a spoon to remove some of the excess sweet potato that you don’t need (eat that as a snack for later), leaving behind a 1/4 inch of so of sweet potato so the skin doesn’t break apart.
- Add your blueberry and breakfast sausage mixture into your sweet potato skins and place back in the oven to cook for 6-8 minutes.
- Let cool. Top with an egg if you’d like. Why wouldn’t you, really!?

That is a very nice…a…udience. Yeah…audience, that’s what I’m going with here. Berries seem to be going out of season already, sad day.
man… us houstonians generally loathe united. they bought out our beloved continental airlines. flew to cancun for our honeymoon on united and we were five minutes inside the 60 minute window (had to return his tux) and the lady b****ed us out, since we interrupted her conversation. clearly she was not a continental legacy employee. haaaaaaaaate united!
i can’t eat sweet potatoes probably for another year or so since i’m on a no complex carb diet. when i can eat them, i wanna make this for breakfast. it looks so delicious.
Oh why did I have to start my 21 day sugar detox today!!! I guess only 20 more days of veggie and egg scramble and then I can try this
I believe the appropriate comment for the last pic is, “Dat Ass”
High Five! 🙂
So excited to try this one! I have all of the ingredients, so this could very well be breakfast tomorrow!!
Love your blog and your recipes.
Next Sunday Funday you don’t leave until Monday. Or later. Deal? Deal.
I had never flown with United until last month and I agree! The leg space was the best like I didn’t feel like I was foot cuddling with someone else. I’ve never heard of Blueberry Sausage, definitely going to have to try it out!
This actually looks amazing, what is the purpose of the one whisked egg?
Glad to see I am not the only one who looks like they have bathed in chalk after a workout! I’ll pass that picture to my coaches to prove that myself and LeBron James aren’t the only one’s who throw chalk around before a competition.
the egg acts as a binder so it doesn’t fall out of the sweet potato, but you don’t need it necessarily.
I am going to crave this until blueberries in Australia continue to drop in price. I love blueberries but $7 for 125grams. NO THANKS. (They were $9 the other week – wtf?)
