Paleo Breakfast

Paleo Breakfast. Yum! In my opinion, there is nothing better than breakfast foods. I love the weekends because my honey and I get to go on breakfast/brunch dates and order all sorts of yummy goodies (usually Paleo approved…but sometimes I do splurge a little and get myself a menu item that is not so Paleo…shh!).

It’s such a wonderful time; we’ll order coffee and get some good hours of conversation in.

Currently, we are hooked on breakfast potatoes. They are filled with delicious spices and roasted to perfection. We’ll always get those along with any order. Sadly, the breakfast potatoes we get are not sweet potatoes…making them a non-Paleo item. Being picky and loving to figure recipes out the “Paleo way”, I decided to nail a breakfast sweet potato recipe (I added other menu items to the recipe as well, because breakfast potatoes are even better when accompanied by other foods). Check it out and tell me what you think!

Breakfast Sides - Ingredients:

•        4 egg whites (from real eggs, not carton eggs)
•        4 strips uncured bacon
•        Sea salt (to taste)
•        Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
•        Coconut oil spray

Breakfast Sides -Steps:

1. Grab your microwavable bacon dish and cover it with paper towels (so they soak in the bacon fat) and place 4 strips of bacon on it. Cover bacon with another paper towel and microwave for about 3 minutes. [Feel free to prepare your bacon the way you like it. I cook mine in the microwave, because it’s fast and easy to clean]
2. While bacon is cooking, you’ll prepare your eggs. Spray skillet with coconut oil and place under medium-low heat.
3. Once skillet is hot, add in eggs.
4. Using your wooden spoon, slowly stir in egg whites for about 2-3 minutes (or until the eggs have reached your desired consistency). Add sea salt and pepper to taste.
5. Place eggs, bacon and breakfast potatoes in a plate. Enjoy them along with a cup of joe and good conversations!
