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!

Aloha Juli!
Fab, just fab! Used island fresh wild boar sausage and doubled up everything, amaze balls!!! Mahalo Nui Loa for so many GREAT recipes!!!
Juli, this was amazing!! I substituted chorizo for breakfast sausage and it was incredible. Had never cooked with chorizo before, but that’s sure gonna change from now on!! Sooo good. I was having 3 friends over for breakfast and they all raved over it and asked for the recipe. Two thumbs up, thank you!!!
Umm YUM! This is very good!
This recipe is so amazing! Thank you, thank you! I just subbed the spinach for kale and sausage for ground lean turkey and it still turned out fantastic! Both the turkey and kale were cheaper, so perfect for my college kid budget! Recipe was easy to make and perfect for a paleo college student like myself!
Made this for a group and they all loved it! Great recipe and pretty easy to make 🙂
I don’t have sweet potatoes but I have regular red skin ones at home.. Could I use them for this recipe? Would anything change (cooking time)? Thanks in advance !
Use them and no change
Made this last week. Didn’t have spinach so used asparagus, 8 eggs, and only 1 pound of spicy sausage, still came out really good. Even my husband who is trying to get used to my new Paleo lifestyle and my numerous recipe trials liked it.
This is an awesome recipe, could anyone give the calorie count?
I can’t give you the calorie count for the actual recipe unfortunately, but can break down the version I make.
10 Eggs
1.25lbs 99% Lean Ground Turkey
2 cups Spinach
1 large Sweet Potato
1 medium Yellow Onion
1 large Green Bell Pepper
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
I divide it into 6 meals for the week. Each meal breaks down to somewhere around…
Calories: 293
Fat: 14g
Saturated Fat: 8g
Carbs: 8g
Sugar: 2g
Protein: 33g
This is a ratio of about 44% fat, 11% carbs, and 45% protein.
Note that almost all of the fat comes from the eggs and coconut oil.
Obviously this isn’t an exact science and a lot of it will have to do with what a “medium” onion or “large” sweet potato is to you and your market. But it should be close enough.
This was great! Only change I made was sub kale for spinach and it was wonderful! Made it to bring to a group dinner and no one missed the cheese, milk or bread that is normally in an egg casserole. Very flavorful.
Been making this for about two weeks now with the shredded sweet potato option. It turned out amazing. I also used 1.25lbs of 99% ground turkey seasoned to taste like sausage instead of 1.5lbs of ground breakfast sausage. I like to put some guacamole over the top when eating.
As someone who hates mornings this is a great grab and re-heat recipe. I definitely recommend trying it!
