Lemon Pepper Pork Sausage with Zucchini Noodles

Lemon Pepper Pork Sausage with Zucchini Noodles


Paleo, Autoimmune-Paleo, Whole30, Gluten Free
This delicious dish is sure to give you that pasta comfort without the carbs! The sausage gives it incredible flavor and the lemon pepper adds a nice light zing to complement all of the ingredients.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 lb Italian or spicy pork sausage, cut into bite sizes
  • 4 zucchini, spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
    Heat oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add the sausage and cook for 8 - 10 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and pepper. Add zucchini and seasonings and cook for just a minute or two. Cooking the zucchini noodles longer will cause them to release water and become soggy, so remove quickly and serve.
Preparation time: 10min
Total time: 25min

Easy Paleo Lunches

3 of my Favorite Healthy & Affordable Paleo Lunches

I always try to bring my own lunch to work because I am less likely to eat something non paleo. In the mornings, I don't have time to cook an actual lunch while getting my toddler fed and ready for school, getting myself ready for work and putting together my morning protein drink for breakfast on the go. What I do instead is cook my proteins (chicken, steak and pork) on the weekend, or if I am making dinner with say chicken, I'll make a little extra, so I have some meat on hand ready to throw in a salad or eat alone.




The Protein Pack:

I love this combination of hummus and chicken...

3 ounces of cooked chicken or 1 hard boiled egg
3 tablespoons of hummus
1 handful of carrot sticks
2 ounces of blueberries

Easy Salad:

Always a classic combo for me.

3 ounces of cooked steak, or meat of choice
3 large leaves of romaine or kale chopped
1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
1/2 avocado, diced
6 black olives, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar

Onion Salad:

These caramelized onions are to die for... You get the sweetness with a noodle like texture that is just so satisfying! You'll want to cook the onions the night before and have them on hand in the morning.

2 cups of caramelized onions (post on this soon)
3 ounces of protein of choice (chicken, steak or pork)
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

Left overs!
