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!

Thinking about doubling this recipe and freezing one…any idea if this freezes well?
not sure, haven’t froze it
This is great! Made it this morning, added peppers, mushrooms and sharp cheddar. Thanks for another awesome breakfast idea!
This is one of my go-to recipes and it helped me survive my first Whole30! I included in my post today http://www.madeitloveitpaleo.com/2015/07/02/recipe-roundup-paleo-breakfast/. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!!!
You are amazing thank you. I love all your recipes
you’re amazing! Thanks for the support!
I love this recipe! Just wanted to thank you thank you THANK YOU for sharing so many amazing recipes! Another “go to” for me is your spaghetti squash casserole.
yay glad you have a few go-to recipes on my site!
I made this recipe yesterday for my small group! It was awesome!!! Everyone loved it and of course asked for the recipe! I baked it about 15 minutes in the oven and took it to my small group (at another members house) and finished it the oven there for about 10 minutes! It was perfect! I love all your recipes! Thank you for all that you do!
Love this recipe! I used smoked deer sausage, organic diced sweet potatoes, spinach, and egg whites. I didn’t have to bake the sweet potato. Once the sausage was brown, I tossed the sweet potatoes in the same pan to coat with the fat and it turned out great! I plan on using this recipe to meal prep breakfast or make “muffins” for on the go meals.
I was thinking of making this for Christmas morning for my family. My sister-in-law is vegetarian, I am thinking of omitting the sausage and serving it on the side…
Do you think it will work this way?
Thanks,
Ilene
of course!!
This looks awesome! I want to make this for Xmas morning but want to make it ahead of time. Can I make it in advance and freeze it?
Thanks!
Katie
i see that getting soggy, honestly. i would just prepare everything else ahead of time, then mix in the eggs last minute before baking
Made this for Christmas brunch and it came out brilliantly. Not a single bite was left. I quasi-doubled the recipe, put everything together but the eggs the night before, refrigerated it, then in the morning I added the eggs (which I had pre-whisked into another container with a lid and refrigerated). When I got back from Christmas morning Mass I just poured the eggs over the top and popped it into the hot oven. This is a great alternative to our pre-paleo lifestyle brunch strata. Thanks, Juli!
