Pulled Pork and Apple Breakfast Casserole

Sherry is amazing. She’s not only smart and beautiful, but she’s been so very supportive of me and my efforts to get healthy. She literally slaves in the kitchen all day on Sundays to make sure we have lunches, and last night, she topped herself by making a breakfast casserole for us to have for breakfast this week.

We smoked a pork shoulder yesterday (I put it in the smoker at 5:30 a.m. and took it off the smoker at 7 p.m.) and after dinner, I looked over at the huge pile of meat we had (10 lbs before smoking). I wondered out loud if there was some sort of Paleo breakfast food that could be made with pulled pork. She took that as a challenge and began scouring the Internet for ideas. She found a great one:  a Pulled Pork Apple and Egg Casserole. She spent a few hours making it last night and after it was done, she put it into the refrigerator.

This morning, we had it for breakfast, and WOW was it delicious! I had mine with just a little salt, but she had hers with some Paleo-friendly barbecue sauce (Bone Suckin’ Sauce). The medley of flavors was really delicious and I’m looking forward to having this for breakfast again tomorrow and hopefully on Thursday as well!

Back to the bragging: Sherry is tireless in her efforts to help us succeed at Paleo. She’s knocking the “Domestic Diva” title out of the ballpark, and she continually tops herself with each subsequent meal. I feel like I’m eating better, tastier food today than I have in many years, and I don’t miss eating out all the time. When the food is so good at home, you no longer want to eat at restaurants (except for the convenience of it all).

I thank her all the time for her hard work and the love she puts into everything she does. I wanted to make this very public post about how wonderful she is, and how much richer my life is because of her.

  1. Aww! Thanks sweetie. As I’ve said many times, I would never have come this far without you – if it had been up to me, I would still be fat because that’s been my “normal” my entire life. You’ve supported me through the pain, the cravings, the breakdowns, and the tantrums, and thanks to you, I finally smile when I look in mirrors. It’s a wonderful feeling.

  2. Aw – that is how I feel about Kenny. Without his cooking skills, the recipes I find would never get made or if they did, I’d probably be missing a fingertip and/or the kitchen would be burned down.
