Notes
SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS
Make a double batch a freeze off at least half of the patties! When ready to eat, pull out a frozen patty, pop it in a skillet and warm it through with fresh sautéed greens or veggies. Having these patties on hand is a lifesaver when you didn’t make it the store or have time to food prep. You can feel confident that you are starting your day and your blood sugar off with a solid breakfast. Build your balanced breakfast sausage meal: Option 1: 1-2 cups of pre-roasted or sautéed non-starchy vegetables
· Swiss chard leaves and stems
· Curly kale – sautéed in coconut oil or ghee with a generous amount of salt until crispy
· Radish greens, halved baby radishes, green onion
· Roasted watermelon radishes ( sliced into ½ inch thick rounds and halved)
· Sautéed yellow squash, zucchini, and green onions
· Asparagus, sliced mushrooms, and chives Option 2: Breakfast Salad ( I love to crumble the sausage over the salad in a breakfast bowl)
· 1/3 cup blueberries or blackberries, 1-2 cups Mache lettuce, green onions, raw high-quality olive oil, sea salt, lime
· 1/3 cup sliced strawberries, 1-2 cups arugula, green onions, raw high-quality olive oil, sea salt, and lemon juice Option 3: 1/2 cup roasted starchy vegetable
· sweet potatoes with rosemary
· winter squash ( butternut, kabocha, delicata, acorn)
· parsnips, carrots, and leeks
· beets (save the greens for sautéing!)
