When I first started the AIP diet, breakfast was my hardest. What could I make that was healthy, AIP & enough that I had leftovers for several days? Well, that’s when I came up with my version of Paleo AIP Sausage Breakfast Hash.
Who doesn’t like One-pan dishes!
I buy my pork from my local farmer so I know it is the best I can get. If you are lucky like me that is awesome! My daughter & husband love this & actually ask for it every week.
I try to make ahead on Sunday nights (if I’m organized), then when we are so rushed in the mornings it can be heated up & served with a side of fruit. Perfect hearty breakfast.

*Note that I did add optional eggs for reintro’s or for people who are paleo. We have since reintro’d eggs. Makes for an even heartier breakfast. My husband who wasn’t AIP wanted eggs, so I would make the hash, then in the mornings I would put some in a pan, heat it up & add a couple of eggs for him. Win/Win!
This Sausage Breakfast Hash is perfect when you have guests. Recently I had out-of-town guests & I made the Sausage Breakfast Hash, put it in a greased casserole dish, added the beaten eggs & baked until the eggs were firm.
I was able to enjoy my guests without a lot of fuss & it looked so pretty. I served it with a bowl of organic fruit & berries. Super easy & pretty too!

The optional chopped sweet potatoes – are they precooked or raw when they are added to the hash?
I would add the sweet potatoes to the pan first & then when they are about 1/2 done add the sausage then the rest of the ingredients, or as you said precook them or use leftover roasted sweet potatoes.
I am new to canning and have lots of summer and winter squash.
I have a AIP yellow squash, “cheese“ sauce recipe that I wanted to make and then can. Very simple to make and easy ingredient list.
Cooked Squash, water, lemon juice, garlic, avocado oil, nutritional yeast, gelatin and salt.
1) Do I still pressure can for 30 minutes ?
2) Am I losing nutrients by heating 3 times? ?
1st -making the sauce
2nd- pressure can
3rd- reheat for meal
Am I better off to just can the squash as is and not make the sauce? I just thought it would be nice to have sauce made ahead of time.
Also, I make a spaghetti squash porridge that I would like to can. It has coconut milk in it. Is this possible to can ? If so, would I can for 30 or 40 minutes?
Thank you so much for any help you can be to this fun adventure I am on !
Hi Jane, Good questions! Personally, I would can the squash & make the “cheese” sauce when I was ready. I’ve been looking online to see if anyone had done anything like this. Maybe some of my readers can chime in on this topic. I do know you can pressure can soups, sauces etc… So I don’t see why you couldn’t. I’ll keep doing research & will let you know what I find.
Great Post! Thanks for including my recipe! I hope your readers enjoy!
