Oh my lawd, it’s already Wednesday. My life has been taken over with appointments and late night baseball games. No, I will not tell you which team I am cheering for. Mostly because I don’t cheer for teams, but also because sports teams make people say rude things. Like “I thought you were a great person until I found out you were a _______ fan.” Like, what? That’s probably one of the dumbest things you can say. Same reason I don’t talk about religion or politics on my website. You want someone to get real d*ck head opinionated on ya, talk about sports, Obama or the God you pray to. Not touching it. No way, no how. I have better things to talk about. Like puppies. And new restaurants.
Speaking of new restaurants, I’m trying out a few this week. You see, sometimes you get in a rut when it comes to creating recipes. Ok, wait, sometimes I get in a rut. I see other food bloggers who never run out of ideas and I just don’t get it. Because I get in random ruts all the time. And since I came up with around 66 recipes for my latest project in a little over two weeks, I need to find some inspiration. That’s where restaurants come into play. Denver is FULL with awesome restaurants. They are everywhere. Including Boulder. So I’m heading to Boulder today to try out a new paleo restaurant then trying another restaurant tomorrow in the Baker neighborhood. I’m guessing I’ll also be purchasing food somewhere on Halloween. I know that’s a lot of money to spend on food in a week, but I need ideas people. I need some help with flavor combinations or a meat that I haven’t tried cooking myself. Wish me luck.
I wish it could stay fall forever here in CO. Since I leave this weekend for Pittsburgh, I’m going to miss another week and a half here in CO. I just know that when I get back, there will probably be snow on the ground. Oh the sadness. I’m ok with snow, especially since we still live in an apartment so we don’t have to shovel, but I’m not really into the whole cold thing. That’s why I buy myself a new winter coat every year. It’s my way of developing a positive reinforcement about living in a snowy state. I don’t think reinforcement is the right word, but you get what I’m going for. A new coat or jacket makes winter worth it. And boots. Obviously. If you saw my instagram post about rearranging my closet, you know I have a brown boot obsession.
Ok, I can’t talk anymore, I have restaurants to eat at, baseball games to watch (meaning look at instagram 96% of the time), and political commercials to despise. Is it election day yet so those d*ck head commercials can end?? I swear, those commercials teach children to talk sh*t about each other. Crap, I started talking about politics, I gotta knock that sh*t off. Kbye!

Brought this to a church breakfast and it was the first breakfast casserole gone. Awesome. Got rave reviews from my non paleo friends.
Also wanated to add that I subbed butternut squash for the sweet potato for GAPS and it turned out perfect.
Made this last night, it is amazing! Thank you for a great easy breakfast casserole that brings a new flavor to the mornings. My hubby and I were both getting egged out, so I was happy that this wasn’t too eggy.
Those of you making this the night before–do you mix it all up the night before and let it sit in the fridge before baking? Or just prep the sausage and sweet potato the night before and assemble in the morning? i want to do this for Christmas morning!
What is the answer to this? Want to make nite before & cook in morn.
My nephew has lost over 100 lbs by changing his diet to paleo and cycling like a madman, so for Christmas breakfast I made this for the family to honor his hard work and accomplishments. Even the non-paleo folks had seconds! It’s a delicious recipe. I doubled the sweet potatoes and onions and omitted the garlic powder and salt. I figured the sausage had enough spices, and it was perfect!
I’ve made several different breakfast casseroles and this is by far my favorite. I thinking pre-cooking sweet potatoes was genius!
woot woot!! glad to hear!
I’ve been eating this all week for breakfast, and it’s so easy to make! Thanks Juli for the recipe, so delicious!
It has to be said, you are freakin-fantastic!! I’ve tried several of your recipes and you are yet to let my 9 year old down! He DOES NOT like eggs. I made this for dinner tonight and he finished before my hubby!! My hubs is trying to lose weight so to keep the carbs down, I cooked some thinly sliced carrots in lots of butter and some coconut oil (instead of the sweet potato). They were scrummy!! All these folks saying they been eating it all week?!?! Say what?!?! The whole thing didn’t last 5 mins in this house :))
This recipe is the bomb! We make it at least once a week with different veggies. This week we used Applegate Chicken and Apple Chicken Sausage and it was the best yet. Thanks for another awesome and easy recipe!
Already making the second batch of this recipe in a week for the hubby and me. We are on day 10 of a whole 30 reset and your recipes have been so helpful!! Thanks!!
