I hope everyone had a wonderfully warm winter weekend - take that alliteration! We had 80+ degree days - in January. It. Was. So. Great! Lucy and I got to spend the weekend with my parents and celebrated the engagement of a long time bestie who has finally moved home from The Emerald Isle! It was just the best weekend - but we were very happy to be home with dad last night!
Welcome to the month of LOVE! This month I'm going to blog about things I love - products, people, events, locations - you know, basically whatever I'm feeling.
Today, I want to get down to business with my first Whole30ish recipe post. I really love this recipe. It's taken many a try, but we've finally gotten it down to a science! You can see my entire Whole30ish experience and menu here.
The hardest part about sticking to Whole30, or any diet, is the first meal of the day (for me). It seems that if I stay strict at breakfast, I have an easier time during the rest of the day. I found a breakfast casserole recipe and I prepared it every Sunday so it would be ready for these hungry hungry hippos on Monday morning. You can find the namesake for this breakfast casserole here.
Whole30ish Breakfast Casserole
Serves: 4 or 6
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 10 large or jumbo eggs
- 1 lb uncooked breakfast sausage (We used Jimmy Dean All Natural - not Whole30 approved)
- 1 heaping handful of baby spinach, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions:
1. Chop and caramelize onion, then set aside - the more caramelized the onion is, the better it tastes in the casserole.
2. Cook the sausage until it is browned and drain off the excess fat. Use that leftover fat to grease your 8x8 baking dish. Let me tell you this casserole is one sticky son of a gun!
3. Use the heat and sausage to lightly wilt the chopped spinach.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, onion, sausage, spinach, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour into the baking dish.
5. Cook on 350° for 30 - 35 minutes or until the casserole is firm.
6. Pair with a nice black coffee and your favorite Whole30 approved fruit - enjoy!
