Found some new recipes to try out on Bev! They are all PALEO so no grain allowed! The meats and eggs were purchased from Walnut Family Farm and the produce from Door to Door Organics. Both companies are great for organic foods that are convenient, cost effective and delicious! I highly recommend you check them out!
So I made the meatloaf and egg muffins in mini portions. If they aren’t all eaten in a few days, they can be frozen for later on. The pudding recipe also makes ALOT, so it can be frozen in ice cube tray. Just pop out a chocolaty cube to add flavor and texture to smoothies anytime!
Bev, I hope you enjoy these recipes. You have become my food guinea pig! You are looking great!
XOXO, Dr. Emily

Paleo Egg Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 Trader Joes Chicken Sausage, diced
- 1 dozen eggs ( I only had to use 10 eggs because the farm fresh eggs were huge!)
- 5 broccoli florets, chopped
- 2 baby bella mushrooms, chopped (with my pampered chef chopper ofcourse!)
- Cooking Spray ( shockingly I make my own cooking spray by combining equal parts water and grapeseed oil in a misting bottle…. shake, pump and spray)
- 1/4 tsp. dry ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp. Season salt (Mine was from Tastefully Simple)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium/large bowl scramble eggs and seasonings.
- Grease the cups of one muffin tin with oil.
- Place equal amounts of sausage and veggies in the bottoms of the muffin tins.
- Pour the scrambled eggs evenly on top of the sausage. The mixture will come almost to the top of the tin.
- Cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
- Use a knife to loosen the egg muffin from the sides of the pan. (They came out pretty cleanly for me.)
PALEO CHOCOLATE PUDDING

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extractWhip it all up in a food processor, spoon into some small bowls (it’s very thick – like it should be..), and top with a little coconut whipped cream, berries, and some cocoa powder. Really, it’s fantastic.
