This isn’t really a pie. There’s no crust. But I cut it out in the shape of a slice of pie. Therefore, it’s a breakfast pie. Don’t fight me on this one.
Have you guys seen the commercials for Krave cereal? The things I would have done to that cereal when I was younger. Bad, bad things. Chocolate inside the cereal? Stupid. Just stupid. I bet it tastes like heaven. Or eating a chocolate bar for breakfast. Which is my heaven.
I’m obsessed with food trucks right now. I can’t help it. They taste just so damn good. Check out @quieroarepas on Twitter and start following them everywhere they go, if you live in Denver. Seriously, I want to live in an arepa.
Ok, so I need to talk about the sad/happy times that occurred over the weekend. My friend Justin recently decided that San Fransisco was a better place to live than Denver. Understandable. I’ve only wanted to move to California like 67 times. So when he had to leave on Sunday at 9pm to venture off to his new home, we decided throwing him a party starting at noon on Saturday and not ending until 2am Sunday was the best decision. These are the best kinds of parties. Mostly because it included almost everyone from our Lake Powell trip, plus some that missed out. So it was like we were back in Powell again. Or at a frat party during hazing week. Is that a real thing? Whatever. All everyone wanted to do was get Justin drunk as could be. Then do mean things to him. Not actually mean, just kind of mean. Like smash cake in his face. Or pick him up and spin him around like a rag doll in hopes of him puking. Guys are so weird.
He never puked. And he ate the cake off his face.
But the best part of it all was that we ended up at my favorite bar downtown where we took over the dance floor. Seriously took it over. I’m pretty sure people outside of our group got pushed. I watched some girl get taken out at the legs when the guys decided it was smart to tackle each other. Either way, it was awesome. So much jumping. I think I lost a toe nail. Ew. They even played this song which is pretty much my favorite song of the week. So dumb, but so catchy. It sounds like he’s saying condom style. My favorite part is at 1:55. You can skip to that part.
It was honestly a fantastic night. I kissed Justin on the cheek probably 26 times and I’ve probably only hugged him a total of 12 times in my life. I haven’t known Justin for very long, but somehow still love the guy. Justin, I hope San Fransisco is everything you had hoped for and more. And we will all miss the sh*t out of you back here. I plan on visiting you soon, taking over your apartment, and CrossFitting at your new gym. Deal? Deal. And if anything, we can reunite next year in the water of Lake Powell. 85 footer anyone?
Easy Crockpot Breakfast Pie
- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
- 8 eggs, whisked
- 1 sweet potato or yam, shredded
- 1lb pork breakfast sausage, broken up
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- any extra veggies you want to put in there: peppers, squash, etc.
Instructions
- I greased my crockpot with a bit of coconut oil to make sure none of the egg stuck to it.
- Shred your sweet potato. I used the shredding attachment on my food processor to make it super quick, but you could use a grater as well.
- Add all ingredients to your crockpot and use a spoon to mix well.
- Set it and forget it!! I stole that tagline. I’m gonna get sued. Eeeek.
- Place on low for 6-8 hours. I cooked it for more than 7 to make sure the pork sausage was completely cooked through.
- Slice it like a pie. Because I said so.

Why egg whites and not whole eggs?
I used the whole egg…it doesn’t say egg whites anywhere
Oops. My bad. Thanks!
Yum. Hrm, this post only serves to make my decision a bit harder. I’m going on nonfun travel for 2 weeks, where I’ll be jammed into a tiny hotel room, and was intending on bringing a versatile appliance with which to cook (a few) different Paleo dishes that I won’t tire of. It was *going* to be a Foreman Grill w/flat iron attachments, but now you’re seriously making me consider bringing my crock pot instead *shakes fist*. I’m not content with eating out for 2 weeks straight, and I’d rather not bring both, ya dig?
Also, I can’t be your only admirer who thinks you – Juli (duh) – must eventually end up with one of these awesome guys (roughly your words). It can’t not happen!
you HAVE to bring a crockpot. you have to!! and these guys see me as their bro. just how it is
Crock pot being pri. 1, you think?? I’ll take your word into consideration, Hrm *rubs stubly chin*
And despite the fact that my opinion means next to nothing as my only exposure to you is via PaleOMG, I’m still gonna say those guys are crazy, yo
Thank you! Making breakfast ahead is a huge time-saver for me, but I have never ventured into the world of crockpot breakfasts. Can’t wait to try this tonight!
Will be making this tomorrow! Can’t wait!
Hi!
I’m so curious! Are all the recipes you write about here strict paleo?
I want to try paleo but honestly, I hate cooking, and even worse is to shopping the ingredients! So my thoughts was “I have read so many of your recipes, maybe I can try some of them”?
pretty strict paleo depending on the standards you are following. the desserts are pretty high sugar content, but you can change that easily on your own. try some recipes out! do it!
Awseome! Then I’m going to try it! =)
I love when you have crockpot recipes =) (that’s because I hate to cook so if all I have to do is to put everything in the same pot and wait for 5-8 h, I’m “super duper extra happy”)
Is there some way that I can search for just crockpot recipes in your blog?
yes, there is a crockpot tab right below my paleomg logo!
This recipe inspired me to buy a crockpot…TODAY. This will be my first ever crockpot recipe. Do you do it on high or low? I can’t wait to make it and eat it for breakfast!
Nevermind. I obviously didn’t read very well the first time…
FYI, Krave cereal is definitely not as delightful as it looks in the commercials, so really all you’re missing out on is a sugar high and sick feeling afterwards 🙂 Thanks for posting such bomb recipes! Can’t wait to try this one!
LOVE that song right now too – the Chinese kid is brilliant, I want to take him home and make him dance for me. And your recipe – as always – the bomb! I made my boyf something similar the other day – he lurved it.
fail. that dude is korean.
Why just egg whites? Why not the whole egg?
it is really odd that you have two girls in one post attacking your eggs. poor eggs.
This looks amazing…my roommate and I will definitely be trying this soon! I am so excited for your cookbook! And, like a previous commenter said, Krave cereal is pretty gross. The chocolate is waxy and doesn’t have much taste. You’re not missing anything!
