IMG_9576_2One week to go until Christmas!  I think it might be time for a Christmas recipe countdown.  I’ll see what I can do about that…for now we’ll start with this one: SHAKSHUKA!  Shakshuka is a traditional north African dish that’s also common in Israeli cuisine as a breakfast food.  It’s normally made with tomatoes and peppers with eggs poached on top, but of course I had to beef it up so I could eat it as breakfast for dinner 🙂

I actually served mine with a side of spaghetti squash too.  This would be such an awesome shared holiday breakfast or brunch dish to eat with the family.  Serve it up with some nice toast or pita to soak up those tomato juices.  This recipe is paleo-friendly (minus the toast idea) with only one non-paleo ingredient…just find yourself or make yourself some spicy sausage that’s paleo compliant.

IMG_9594_2Can I also point out my brand new Lodge cast iron skillet?!  I love it.  I’m so excited to use it a bunch so that it get’s really seasoned and awesome.  Such a good kitchen investment and made in the U.S.A!
