Christmas is in three days! I can’t believe we are almost there – December totally flew by. On Christmas mornings, it is fun to just sit back and relax – which is why this Paleo Overnight Breakfast Casserole is the perfect meal! It can be prepped the night before and left in the fridge. Then simply pop it in the oven (while you open gifts!) and enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast for your whole family.
Having a healthier diet mindset is a great way to make sure you’re eating well. You will see in the recipe that instead of regular potatoes, there are sweet potatoes. As well, this is a grain and sugar-free breakfast – which is always a good idea. Most breakfast dishes have heaps of sugar, dairy, and gluten – for example: cinnamon rolls, most cereals, and pancakes. While they are definitely delicious, they can really hurt our digestive systems. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my stomach hurting on Christmas Day!
This meal has a lot of protein to leave you feeling satisfied throughout the festivities without a sugar crash. Once you take a bite, you won’t even realize it’s ‘healthy’ because you’ll be blown away by a savory blend starring eggs, sausage, sweet potatoes, and a flavorful cast of supporting ingredients. Enjoy!
