Whole30 Homemade Blueberry and Sage Sausage

Can you EVEN friggin' believe that today and tomorrow are the LAST TWO DAYS of 2018?!

I can't.

I feel like this year FLEW.

And i realize how cliche this sounds. But between 2018 being our first full year in our new home, + house renocations (let me know if you guys want to see those), and a new job...let's just say it's been hectic! In a good way!

With the new year comes resolutions.

I have come up with a few:

1. Spend more quality time with Jake. He's priority. Meaning no phones, no work talk, just us and a fun weekly date night!
2. Self-Care: working out, face masks, bath bombs, walks, saying no,and weekend day trips
3. Workout 4-5 times a week. I am making this a priority. I LOVE lifting weights (CrossFit style) and I really want to focus on working y weaknesses and increase my numbers with my barbell PRs.
4. Do 2 Macro Cuts (macro based diets-helps increase metabolism while not losing my hard earned muscle and promotes fat loss!)
5. Do another Whole30! Yup I want to get Whole30 round 9 under my belt
6. Travel to Europe
7. ADOPT A PUPPY!!!!! (I FINALLY convinced Jake we NEED one!)

But mainly, I am always on this crazy healthy journey. There is no finish line. And once I realized that, I was free that I was "trapped" in a "diet". It's a lifestyle.

So why not make healthy food with REAL food that actually tastes good.

Enter these Whole30 Blueberry Sage Sausages.

Let me say these are a GAME CHANGER.

LIFE CHANGING.

MEAL PREP.

WORDS!!!

But seriously, Jake has been requesting these for breakfast weekly. And I usually cave.

I even make a large batch for Jake's meal prep for the week. It's THAT good.

You need these in your life ASAP.

You need these breakfast options too:

Breakfast Bowl

Smoothie

Sheetpan breakfast

and of course coffee....cause duh.

Instructions

MAKE THE SAUSAGE PATTIES

In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for the sausage

Set aside

MAKE BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Preheat a small sauce pan on medium heat

Once heated, add all ingredients for the sauce and stir to ensure all berries are coated with the vinegar

Bring to a simmer while breaking down the blueberries until all have burst (About 5-8 minutes)

Bring heat down to low, and continue to stir frequently to further breakdown the berries. The sauce is finished once its reached a jam-like consistency.

Allow sauce to cool slightly

While sauce is cooling, cook the sausage

Heat a large skillet on medium high heat

Once heated, add patties

Flip every 2-3 minutes until cooked through (internal temp is 165F)

Serve with sauce and enjoy!!

Notes

PRO TIP: Try to squish all blueberries in sausage mixture. This helps prevent pockets in the patties and keeps their shape as they cook.
