Paleo Breakfast on the Go!



 

Eating healthy is delicious, good for us… and time consuming!  It can also be expensive.  Not a good combo for Whole 30ers right?!  Well- here is your solution!


I make this breakfast casserole on Sunday mornings and it is good for the whole week- for both my husband and myself. 

Here is what I had in my fridge- 1 onion, 3 tomatoes, 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, sun-dried tomato chicken sausage from Publix, and eggs… so that is what I used. 

*Note- last week I had broccoli so that was in there and the tomatoes were not.  Seriously- use whatever you have J



Ingredients:
15 eggs (I use cage free- but hey an egg is an egg!)
3 tomatoes sliced
1 green bell pepper sliced
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 sweet onion sliced
1 package of sundried tomato chicken sausage
Coconut oil
Canola oil

Directions:
*By hand or in your food processor, chop your onions and bell peppers
*Heat a pan on medium with coconut oil
*Once oil is hot, add vegetables and let simmer on medium-low
*Slice tomatoes and set aside
*Cut sausage and brown in pan.  I brown mine in water as opposed to oil
*While sausage is browning, crack and beat eggs
*In 11x13 pan, drizzle a few drops of canola oil in the bottom of pan
*Start layering ingredients:
                *Onions and peppers 
                *Sausage
                *Stack tomatoes
                *Pour eggs overtop
***Do not stir, eggs and veggies will mix in pan naturally
*Place in the oven and wait about 40 or so minutes.  Sometimes it takes longer- you just don’t want your casserole to move when you shake it
*Cut a square, pour some coffee and enjoy!!

  3. people doing the paleo diet can not eat no kind of sausage and sausage is a ingredient in this recipe so this is not a paleo recipe

  4. Hi Lynn! According to thepaleolist.com, and following the guidelines of www.paleoeffect.com this particular sausage is allowed. This is the link to show the ingredients: https://aidells.com/products and in case that link doesn't work here are the ingredients: CHICKEN, DRIED APPLES, SALT, FRUIT JUICE CONCENTRATE (APPLE, PINEAPPLE, PEAR, AND PEACH), SPICES AND CELERY POWDER, IN A PORK CASING.

    Going Paleo can be confusing and there are a bunch of conflicting sources, so if something doesn't feel right to you- don't use it. It's a personal decision, and 100% yours to make. However- if I am going by the guidelines, all of these ingredients are natural- and it's just saving the cavemen (and you) the trouble of making a pork casing to wrap your meat in :)
