Deep Dish Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Posted on by 24 Comments
paleo sausage casserole recipe

Sausage breakfast casserole is one of my favorite ways to add meat to breakfast.  Don’t get me wrong, we love bacon, but we wanted to diversify our egg recipes.  This easy casserole takes very little time, and went over really well with family and as leftovers.

For this casserole, all you’ll need is ground breakfast sausage (or ground pork with some seasonings), eggs, onion, and spinach.  You could easily add in some mushrooms or bell peppers to suit what’s on your mind or in your refrigerator.  We hope you’ll add this egg recipe to your regular breakfast rotation.

Mom’s Greek Chicken

Posted on by 27 Comments

This week is a big week for my mom here on the blog.  She’s always inspired me to cook, craft, and all things domestic (she’s really good at them, too).  It’s been a super help in the kitchen, as well as knowing how to sew up and repair pants, shirts, pillows, and blankets.  You may recognize her from other recipes including this great mushroom soup and yesterday’s coconut pumpkin pie.

This recipe is one we didn’t have often when I was younger, but boy can I appreciate it now that I’m older.  If you’re a cheese lover (or you splurge on cheese occasionally) this is also great with some feta.  We’ve made it both ways to test, and they’re both winners.  You’re going to enjoy this one.

Pumpkin Coconut Pie

Posted on by 4 Comments

We’ve got a snowy day here in the DC area, and I figured it was a perfect day to share a sweet recipe that is a collaboration (well 20% us) with my mom.  We made this pie for Thanksgiving, and I have to say that it was a blast.  In all honesty, I found this better than your standard pumpkin pie that you can pick up from the store.

This pie we let sit for almost 2 days before finally serving, and it was still fantastic.  I was shocked at how the crust pulled away from the pan like a traditional pie, and the crust is really delicious.  Not too sweet, a little crumbly, and not too dry (which sometimes happens with these gluten free crust/bread/sweets recipes).  We hope you’ll try it and let us know how it comes out!

Simple Cinnamon Applesauce

Posted on by 4 Comments

Applesauce was something that I grew up enjoying, but only out of small, plastic containers.  As I grew older, I stopped enjoying the treat, and assumed I didn’t like it anymore.  Heather encouraged me for almost a year to try her homemade applesauce, but I always turned it down saying I wasn’t “an applesauce person.”  That was stupid on my part.

Thankfully, last autumn, she made it anyway.  This applesauce is delicious, and I look forward to the times when she cooks it up at home.  Better yet, it’s really easy.  I hope you’ll take the time to make it as well; it’s a delicious homemade treat that’s way better than the stuff that’s pre-packaged in plastic.

The Best Stuffing

Posted on by 4 Comments

Last Thanksgiving, we were brave and hosted both of our families in our little house.  It was a fabulous time, albeit pretty cramped.  We made everything within our food choices, and even brewed some homemade cider for the occasion.  You can read a little more about it here.

One of the creations from that holiday was this stuffing.  It’s made with my corn-less corn bread, and US Wellness Meats sugar free pork breakfast sausage.  I’m sure you could buy some ground pork and season it and come up with a decent stuffing, but I’m fairly confident that this is the secret ingredient.  I was a bit baffled by the response to this stuffing (it’s good, but I totally made it up), but after returning to the recipe a year later, it still holds up.  Sometimes you just get lucky.  I hope you’ll enjoy it as well.
