Butternut, Broccoli & Sausage Breakfast Bake

Ingredients
2 lb. cubed butternut squash
2 tablespoon EVOO or coconut oil
1 lb. sausage (the crumbly kind)
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 chopped yellow onion
20 large eggs
1 small can coconut milk

1. Preheat oven to 375 and toss squash with oil, salt and pepper in a large lasagna pan or casserole dish. Roast for 25-30 minutes.

2. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion about five minutes. Stir in broccoli and cook another five minutes (until sausage is cooked through). Pile it on top of the squash when it comes out of the oven

3. Whisk eggs, coconut milk and any seasonings (I used salt, pepper, garlic, and parsley) in a bowl. Pour over squash, sausage, and veggies.

4. Bake 35-40 minutes until eggs are set. Cut into squares and reheat for breakfast!

Recipe from Dec 2014 Paleo Magazine

Tostados

Another take on the paleo naan--tostados! I topped it with grass fed beef cooked with a Whole Foods taco seasoning packet, some pico de gallo, and scallions. YUM!!! It's a bit wonky looking because I ran out of tapioca flour and tried to sub coconut flour instead (tasted fine but much more crumbly and not as doughy).

Shaky Graves

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you put on a concert. Can't say enough great things about seeing Shaky Graves live at the Charleston Music Hall a few weeks ago. Awesome show!

Paleo Naan

I was skeptical, but this was a keeper! I mixed in a ton of garlic, parsley, and onion powder and it was perfect. I also cooked them in a huge slab of ghee, which gave them a nice crispy edge. Try 'em!

Paleo Salmon Cakes

Another recipe from the Well Fed collection. I followed the recipe exactly and they were good but a bit dry. So I made a quick sauce out of homemade mayo, roasted red pepper, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and salt/pepper to finish it off. I think next time I would maybe add in some shredded zucchini to keep them moist and maybe use crab instead of salmon so you don't have to pick all of the tiny bones (there were a ton). Finely chopped bell peppers would have been nice in the patties too. Otherwise they were really good!

Spiralized Potatoes

I thought it was time to use the spiralizer for something other than zucchini noodles, hence these seasoned potato curls with a fried egg and chives. Toss cut potatoes (with peel) with olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning until coated. Bake at 375 about 20 minutes, or until done. Top with egg and chives!

Yummy Paleo Meatballs

I was kind of winging it on this one but the meatballs turned out great. Perfect for cold weather when you just want to curl up with a warm bowl of yumminess.

Meatballs
2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
garlic, chopped (I like a lot!)
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 eggs

Combine everything in a bowl, then shape into 1 inch meatballs. Spread out on greased pan and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes, or until done.

Sauce
3 15 oz. cans tomato sauce
1/2 onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
garlic, chopped (a lot!)
salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Cook onion and carrots in butter until soft. Stir in sauce and remaining seasonings and simmer on medium about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked meatballs until everything is warm and well combined.
