It’s tough to find a breakfast sausage at the grocery store with a clean, simple ingredient list. But guess what? Homemade pork breakfast sausage is really easy to make and you have total control over the ingredients.
Some of my clients who are working through their MRT test and LEAP diet struggle to find a healthy protein for breakfast.
This pork sausage is a great solution! Whip up a big batch, freeze the extra patties in portions, and voila!, you have an easy breakfast.
While I do prefer the combination of spices used in this breakfast sausage, several of them (including sage, thyme, and cloves) are not tested on the MRT (Mediator Release Test for food sensitivities), so you may need to wait a few weeks until you can re-introduce those seasonings.
You can easily substitute the sage, thyme, and cloves for tested spices like oregano, basil, rosemary, black pepper, cayenne pepper, or ginger. Or omit them altogether for the time. You’ll be able to include most (or all) of them again soon! No worries.
If you’d love some help figuring out which food sensitivities are causing joint pain for you, along with other root causes, I’d love to be your guide! Don’t hesitate to reach out and work with me!
