I’m approaching the end of my nursing career (for right now at least), and being hungry all of the time because of the extra caloric requirement is NO JOKE. I haven’t dropped a feeding until now. My body has been a machine since the day this kid was born. I have to drink a certain amount of water and eat a certain amount of calories every to maintain my supply. Just eating plain oatmeal or bulletproofing in the morning doesn’t do it for me anymore; I need a lot more nutrient dense foods to keep me going. That brings me to this recipe: Gf Paleo Biscuits and Gravy. Now that we don’t live in Denver anymore, where Just Be Kitchen is a few minutes away, I’ve had to recreate this recipe at home. Btw Chicago, get more restaurants with clean and trustworthy ingredients so I can exit my kitchen more frequently.

US Wellness Shopping List: Pork Breakfast Sausage
INGREDIENTS FOR THE BISCUITS:
- 1 cup of coconut or goat milk (I prefer goat even though it’s not Paleo)
- 1 drop of ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar)
- 1.5-2 cups of Cassava Flour (I like Otto’s or Thrive Market’s)
- 1 tsp of sea salt
- A sprinkle of Black pepper (depending on your preference)
- 1/2 cup of chilled coconut oil (hard enough to resemble butter)
- 4 tsps of baking powder
- A few sprigs of Thyme if handy or two shakes of dried thyme flakes
INGREDIENTS FOR THE GRAVY:
- 1 thawed package of pork breakfast sausage (I love US Wellness Meats version)
- 2 cups of coconut or goat milk
- 4 tbsps of tapioca or arrowroot flour
- 4 tbsps of coconut flour
- 1 tbsp of chopped sage
- 1 spring of rosemary if handy or half of a shake of dried rosemary
- 2 tbsps of diced fresh fennel
- sea salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLUTEN FREE, PALEO BISCUITS & GRAVY
- Preheat oven to 425 F
- For the Biscuits: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, baking powder, thyme, pepper, and salt
- Cut in the chilled coconut oil by the tablespoon
- Create a tunnel or hole in the middle of the mixture and add the milk and ACV
- Knead until well combined until dough is formed
- Form dough into a long roll and using a thin knife, cut into 1 inch disk slices
- Place slices onto parchment paper or tin foil and bake for 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown
- While biscuits bake, prepare the gravy; Grab a large sauté pan and place it over medium heat
- Break up the sausage into little pieces and cook until cooked through; remove the sausage onto a plate BUT keep the liquid fat in the pan
- If there’s not enough grease, add in a slab of coconut oil (enough to look like 5 tbsps), fennel, sage, rosemary and cook for 1 minute.
- Dump in the tapioca/arrowroot flour + coconut flour and whisk until it looks combined
- Add in the coconut milk slowly while whisking and then add back in the sausage pieces
- Reduce the heat and let simmer for about five minute so or until the gravy is thick; add any salt and pepper if needed
- During these five minutes, take out the biscuits and let slightly cool
- Once gravy is thickened, place two (or however many you want) biscuits on a plate and pour your gravy on top or on the side
- Enjoy!
