Simple Homemade Whole30 Breakfast Sausage – perfect for Sunday brunch or your weekly meal-prep!

This is going to become your go-to breakfast sausage recipe!

So one of my goals this round of Whole30 was to focus on my breakfast.  Admittedly, my past 2 rounds of Whole30 I have relied too heavily upon our friend, the Rx bar.  I am just NOT a breakfast person.  I am just not a morning person.  I have always been, and probably always will be, a night-owl.  (note: I will say however that I do notice that when I am doing/eating Whole30 it is easier to get out of bed in the morning, still hate it, but it is easier).  Part of the reason I developed acid reflux and “gut issues” I contribute, in part, to my poor morning habits.  I used to drink 2-3 cup of coffee, with like…. way too much sugar, and then not eat until lunch.  I have gotten better and better at changing these habits.  When I finally had to take medication for my heartburn/acid-reflux a year and a half ago, I knew I needed to make a change.  So, for the past year, I have tried my very best to always eat something before or, at a minimum, with my coffee.  I also switched to homemade cold brew coffee!

But again, I still wasn’t eating very much in the morning.  A hard-boiled egg one day.  A Rx bar the next.  Simply not enough.

So, I have put in the time to make breakfast ahead of time and bring it to work with me – these little sausages are BIG part of that.  I make them in large batches and store them in the fridge and then take a couple to work every morning, along with whatever else I am eating.  I toss them in the microwave at work and – boom – breakfast is ready.

Not surprisingly, I feel SO much better when I eat a solid breakfast.  And I am not starving when I get home for lunch.  I feel like my whole appetite is more stable the entire day.

Don’t get me wrong though, these guys are good for more than just meal prep!  I love making them for our girls, because I love knowing exactly what is in them. It is all good-for-you ingredients!  …. and they love them ?

A quick note about the recipe, it calls for Primal Palate Meat & Potatoes Seasoning – this isn’t a sponsored post, I just really, really like their product and it is what I wanted to put in my sausages ?But if you don’t have it on hand, I have given a substitute!

I hope you guys had an awesome week!
