These everything bagel high-protein breakfast biscuits are perfect for meal prep. Just freeze and then reheat for a nourishing on-the-go breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced

  • 16oz ground chicken (can sub for ground turkey or ground pork)

  • 6 eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup + 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 + 1/2 cups almond flour

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour (see recipe notes)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 3 tbsp everything bagel seasoning + extra for topping

  • 2 tsp baking powder

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. 
  • Clear the center of the pan and add in the ground chicken. Let cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is completely browned and onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs in a large mixing bowl, then incorporate one cup of the cheese. Add the chicken mixture and incorporate.
  • Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, everything bagel seasoning, and baking powder and use a spatula to mix until combined.
  • Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to make 12 evenly sized balls of mix and place them on the sheet pan. Rub a little bit of oil in your hands and then shape them into a biscuit shape by pressing down.
  • Top each of them with the remaining shredded cheddar and place in the oven for 10-14 minutes, until slightly browned all over.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freezer for up to 30 days.

Notes

  • If you don’t have or don’t want to use coconut flour, you can replace it with additional almond flour. To make up for the dryness, you likely will need to add a bit extra almond flour.
  • To reheat from the refrigerator, I recommend air frying for 2-3 minutes on 350 degrees. From the freezer, air fry for 5-7 minutes on 350 degrees.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND KALE SOUP


All winter long I’ve been on a soup kick and this chicken sausage and kale soup has been the perfect warm and comforting soup recipe. Made with simple ingredients, this soup is gluten-free, dairy-free and whole 30 compliant. Use Italian sausage or chicken sausage (whatever you prefer), fresh kale, red bliss potatoes and coconut milk as the main components of this soup and get a warm and savory bite on a cold winter night.

Chicken Sausage and Kale Soup Ingredients

Chicken Sausage: There are many kinds of chicken sausage that you could use for this recipe. I prefer using raw Italian chicken sausage rather than the pre-cooked kind, but either will work (and the pre-cooked will not need to be cooked separately as a step). Also, any regular pork sausage will work as a substitute.

Onion & Garlic: As with all of my soup recipes, onion and garlic are the basic building blocks. Use sweet yellow onion for best results, and cook them down until translucent and browning for a deep flavor. The garlic adds more of that classic Italian taste we all love.

Spices: The spices you’ll need for this soup include salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. If you’d prefer no spice at all, feel free to omit the red pepper flakes. I like to use Italian seasoning as it is a mix of those classic spices, but you can substitute it with dried oregano.

Red Bliss Potatoes: I chose red bliss potatoes for this soup because they are easy to work with and taste great with the skins on. If you’d like to use a different type of potato, any kind of white potato will work. Be sure to cut them into small, 1/2 inch cubes.

Chicken Broth: Chicken broth provides the majority of the liquid component of the soup. I like using an organic, free-range chicken broth that I can find at the grocery store. If you have vegetable broth on hand, that works too, although the taste will be slightly different.

Coconut Milk: Full-fat, canned coconut milk is the best option for this recipe. It adds the creaminess to the soup that I love. You won’t taste the coconut, but if you’d like to use something different, feel free to use half and half or even whole milk as a replacement.

Kale: Fresh kale leaves provide texture and a great source of greens in the soup. Be sure to remove the stems from the kale and chop the leaves into smaller pieces before adding it to the pot. If kale isn’t your thing, try some fresh spinach leaves.

Basil & Red Pepper Flakes: To top off your soup after it’s done, I suggest a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and some chopped fresh basil leaves. Feel free to experiment and try whatever toppings sound good to you, maybe some grated parmesan cheese?!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • 1 lb Italian chicken sausage (or pork sausage)

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 4 cups chopped kale leaves

  • fresh basil and red pepper flakes for garnish

Directions

  • In a large pot, heat two tablespoons of oil over medium/high heat. Add all of the raw sausage, removing from casings if needed. Cook the sausage fully, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Leave the oil from the sausage in the pot and add in the chopped onion. Cook until translucent and beginning to brown, about 10-15 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for another few minutes.
  • Season the onion and garlic mixture with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. Mix around and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and mix into the onion and garlic mixture. Cover everything with four cups of chicken broth, then put the lid on the pot and bring to a boil.
  • Once the soup is boiling, remove the lid and set a timer for 20 minutes to fully cook the potatoes. Once the potatoes are tender, reduce heat to medium and add in the coconut milk, kale, and cooked sausage.
  • Give everything one more mix then simmer for 5-10 more minutes, until the kale leaves are wilted. Serve immediately with basil and red pepper or store in the refrigerator for up to four days or freezer for up to a month.

Notes

  • If you are using fully cooked chicken sausage rather than raw, you can skip step one and add the onions to the pot first.

I don’t always love arugula but it works so well with all of these strong flavors. And I know the name implies you need a grill – but I promise this salad is just as good if prepared on a skillet.

TURKEY PUMPKIN CHILI


I’ve been making chili for as long as I can remember, but a few years ago I started making pumpkin chili and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ll be honest I was very skeptical at first mixing cinnamon into chili, but it turned about incredible. Something about cumin and chili powder mixed with cinnamon really works! This recipe is a fall favorite in my house. Try it out!

Turkey Pumpkin Chili Ingredients

Ground Turkey: I like to make this chili with ground turkey, but you can use any kind of ground meat you’d like, including classic ground beef, ground chicken, or even plant-based options like Beyond Meat.

Onion, Garlic & Peppers: Adding onion, garlic, and bell peppers to this recipe adds texture and great flavor to the chili. The key is to cook down the onion until soft and caramelizing to get that deep flavor before adding in the spices.

Sweet Potatoes: Adding sweet potatoes to this chili adds some extra substance to the recipe and takes advantage of the beautiful in-season produce this time of year. Be sure to cut them into very small pieces, no bigger than 1/2-inch cubes, in order to get them nice and soft.

Spices: The spices you’ll need for the chili include chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt and black pepper. Do not skip the cinnamon, this is what will give you the pumpkin chili taste! Trust me on this one!

Kidney Beans: Red kidney beans are the typical bean used in chili, so that’s what you’ll want to use in this recipe. You could sub for another type of bean if you’d prefer, just follow the same cooking instructions.

Pumpkin Puree: We of course need pumpkin for pumpkin chili! While the pumpkin doesn’t actually add a ton of taste to the chili, the puree adds thickness and also gives you some great health benefits.

Crushed Tomatoes: A large can of crushed tomatoes is the main source of liquid for the chili. You could also use diced tomatoes, peeled tomatoes that you can break up with your hands, or even just tomato sauce if tomato pieces aren’t your thing. If you use sauce, you likely won’t need to add any water to thin it out.

Baking Soda: If you’re wondering why you’d need to add baking soda to chili, here’s why: adding baking soda actually makes the meat more tender after the protein strands are tightened during the cooking process. Go science!!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 green bell peppers, diced

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, de-seeded & diced (optional)

  • 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes, cubed (~1/4-1/2-inch cubes)

  • 1 lb ground turkey

  • 2 tsp chili powder

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika

Directions

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

  • Pour in the kidney beans, pumpkin puree, crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce, and any water as needed to reach desired thinness. Mix again.
  • Cover the pot and bring the chili to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes and kidney beans are tender to a fork.
  • Add in the baking soda and stir it into the chili. Let the chili sit on low until serving or store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to four days or the freezer for a month.
