Sausage Crusted Egg Quiche

Sausage Crusted Egg Quiche
 
1lb. ground sausage of your choice
10 organic cage-free eggs
steamed/sautéed vegetables of your choice
olive oil spray
 
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Form the sausage into the pie dish, along the bottom and sides evenly, like a crust.  Bake for about 15 minutes until the sausage is no longer pink.  Drain the excess grease from pie dish.  Once the sausage crust is cool, top it with your choice of steamed or sautéed vegetables.  I used broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and mushrooms.  Increase your oven temperature to 375 degrees.  In a separate mixing bowl, whisk 10 eggs.  Spray the sides of your pie dish so that your eggs do not stick.  Pour the whisked eggs on top of the vegetables and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Paleo Wraps review

As promised, here is my Paleo Wraps review.  I purchased this package at Naturally Yours food store in Winchester, VA for $10.80.  I have to say I am slightly disappointed in the quality of the wraps, though I believe they might not have been fresh.  I have a friend that purchased these through www.julianbakery.com and loved them.  She said hers were pliable and stayed together.  Mine were brittle and crumbled when rolled.  I plan to order these online and hope for a better outcome.  Here are the nutrition facts for each roll....
