Easy Breakfast Sausage Patties

Ah, breakfast! My favorite meal of the day. No, seriously. I love breakfast. I look forward daily to starting my day off with something delicious, filling and nutritious. Don’t believe me? Check out my Instagram to watch me post all about my eggs, leftovers, overnight oats, savory oatmeal and whatever else I am feeling for breakfast during the week, and of course, coffee.

I used to actually hate breakfast growing up, true story. Why? Well probably because most breakfast options that were considered “healthy” contained gluten and egg whites. While I can have egg whites I much prefer the taste of a whole egg. However, gluten was making me sick long before I even knew it was a problem. Any time I’d start with an english muffin, toast or waffles I’d end up with cramps, bloating, and gas, all things no middle schooler or high schooler wants to deal with on top of ALL the other awkward moments of the day. Any who, most days I’d go without breakfast much to my mom’s dismay and then I’d be left feeling tired and hungry.

Once I figured out what foods I could have in grad school, breakfast became a game changer. Eating food that my body liked and food that kept me satisfied on my long days of workouts, school, internships and work helped me have sustained energy and gave me something to look forward to, win-win. I still, to this day, look forward to breakfast and my hot cup of black coffee.

This year, we decided to buy both a 1/2 pig and a larger freezer, to store said pig, and with that pig came a good deal of ground pork. I have done many things with the ground pork but my absolute favorite thing to do with it is make breakfast sausage patties on Sunday night so that I have an option for protein in my breakfast daily during the week. They are great heated up but even taste good cold. I prefer to eat mine with dijon mustard, but feel free to spice it up however you like. People constantly ask me how to get protein in breakfast and this is one of my go-tos along with eggs, leftovers, collagen powder and more.

Note: in this recipe, feel free to use any type of ground meat for your sausages as it will turn out delicious, I just happen to have pork from my pasture raised pig. Enjoy!

    Ah, I love breakfast so much! I keep thinking about making my own sausage. I buy this sweet apple chicken sausage and my husband LOVES it. I’m sure it’d be pretty simple to make on my own?! Gotta try out this recipe this weekend with some pancakes!

    I’m with you – I get excited to go to bed because I know I’ll be able to wake up & eat something delicious in the morning. #DietitianProblems. These sound delicious and I most definitely will be trying them this weekend! I may even make them and bring to Easter brunch with my family 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

💫Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since there appears to be an oatmilk shortage at your local Sbucks it might be in your best interest to get used to making it yourself. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I couldn't find any local to me so I figured why not make it myself? It turned out great and now I’m obsessed. Not to mention a cold drink is far easier with a baby because I never have to microwave it 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what you’ll need:
☕️Coffee/Espresso
☕️Brown Sugar
☕️Vanilla Extract
☕️Cinnamon
☕️Oatmilk
☕️Ice
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Excited yet? 😬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You better be! This is so simple, delicious AND budget friendly. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know if you try it out. Tag @thesassydietitian
& make sure to save this and share it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s been one year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been one year. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
March 31st, the day I lost my first pregnancy. I was not ok but I’m getting there. I found other's journeys helped me so I want to keep sharing mine in hopes that we can normalize it & help bring more healing to those that need it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am 1 in 4. A statistic I didn’t know existed & didn’t ever dream of being a part of. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s easy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time helps you move forward but it doesn’t make you forget. I am so lucky to have a little man to hold in my arms every day  but that doesn’t mean my past is erased. I keep thinking "my baby would be X months old right now" even though I have a 7 wk old here that I love so much.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember crying anytime I’d open social media. It was torture to see everyone pregnant & having babies. I was bitter, angry, upset & broken. I started to withdraw and became out of touch with even my closest friends. It sucked. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then I got pregnant again. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so scared. I was also bitter that my first pregnancy experience had been taken from me. I saw people posting about how they were scared to lose their baby but they didn’t. They had healthy pregnancies with no history of miscarriage. I was healthy. I prioritized my nutrition. I was active. I was careful. Why me? I also heard people joke about quarantine babies & I was angry because had my first not ended in loss it wouldn’t have been considered that. It wasn’t funny to me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So much has changed in a year and for that I’m forever grateful. I'm way less bitter now but I'm so much more aware of the anxiety that pregnancy brings to women. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to share what to say & not to say when someone experiences a miscarriage. Words matter and it can truly help someone’s healing process.

🍰SUGAR.🍰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s 🍰SUGAR.🍰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s gets a bad rap.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the thing. I’m not going to sit here and tell you it’s good for you and going to help you reach all your health goals ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m also not going to sit here and tell you that you should avoid it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The all or nothing approach has failed most (if not all) of my clients as well as myself. Sure, avoiding it may lead to that elusive 6 pack or desired body fat %age but it can also lead to disordered eating and missing out on life. Not to mention a 6 pack or low body fat does not always equate to optimal health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can eat sugar and lead a healthy life. It’s amazing how once we accept that many of us actually end up eating less of it because it’s no longer off limits. When we tell ourselves we can’t have something we always end up wanting it and eating more of it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Give yourself permission to eat sugar and stop demonizing it. That doesn’t mean give up on your health it just means that we have to make space for it otherwise it will find a way to barge in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone is different and certain health conditions may mean that less is more when it comes to sugar. If you are struggling, get help! That’s what RDs are here for 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So have your veggies & eat your cake too ✌🏻& go snag this flourless chocolate cake recipe from @danasbakery while you’re at it!

Xoxo, 
Sassy

💙Connor's Birth Story💙 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💙Connor's Birth Story💙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌈If my miscarriage taught me anything last year, it taught me that I am not in control of everything. A year ago I was struggling through a loss and now here we are with a new little dude. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤷🏻‍♀️I never thought I’d be one to share our story but if it can help even one person then I think it’s worth it. There is no perfect birth story and there is no gold medal for how you give birth. We need to acknowledge the mess and respect all those who have babies and how they choose to do it. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻If you’re interested, you can readour story here: https://thesassydietitian.com/connors-birth-story/
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏🏻Remember this is our story and not medical advice. Please try hard to not pass judgement and recognize we all make our own choices and we made ours as they seemed right for us. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Welcome to the world Connor-man thanks for making me a mom and for teaching me so much through our journey so far. 💙🌈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
xoxo,
Sassy
