Possibly the hardest meal of the day for my clients with autoimmune issues is breakfast. Often we need to remove eggs from the diet for a short period of time for some and some it’s a little longer. The biggest complaint I get is what to eat for breakfast when grains, a smoothie and eggs are not options. Making your own breakfast sausage only takes minutes and you know what you’re eating.
I used naturally sweetened cranberries found at a health food store. The ones I used for this recipe are sweetened with maple syrup. Look for spice blends at health food stores that don’t contain vegetables oil, additives or MSG.
