AIP Three Herb Beef Breakfast Patties: A Busy Woman's Guide to Delicious and Healthy Mornings

Mornings. The bane of many a busy woman's existence. Between getting the kids ready for school, tackling emails before the workday officially begins, and squeezing in a workout (if you're lucky!), finding time for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast often feels impossible. For years, I struggled with this very dilemma. I craved something quick, something healthy, something that didn't involve a complicated recipe or a mountain of dishes. That's where these AIP Three Herb Beef Breakfast Patties came in.

I'm a business consultant, juggling client meetings, travel, and the endless to-do list that comes with running my own company. Let's be honest, my mornings are usually a whirlwind of activity. The last thing I need is a breakfast that adds to the chaos. These patties are my saving grace. They're incredibly easy to make in bulk, and I can freeze them for weeks. This means that every morning, I simply grab a patty from the freezer, heat it up in a skillet, and I'm good to go. No fuss, no mess, just delicious and nourishing fuel to power through my day.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. The combination of grass-fed ground beef, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and sage are my favorites, but feel free to experiment!), and a touch of sea salt creates a flavor profile that is both savory and satisfying. The herbs add a depth of flavor that elevates the simple beef patty, making it something truly special. I often pair my patties with some breakfast greens, a dollop of sauerkraut for that extra probiotic boost, and a warm mug of bone broth. It's a complete and balanced breakfast that keeps me feeling full and energized until lunchtime.

The magic of meal prepping: The time I invest in preparing these patties on a Sunday evening is repaid tenfold throughout the week. The convenience factor alone is worth it. No more scrambling for breakfast options in the morning rush. I simply grab a pre-made patty and I am ready to conquer my day. I usually make a double batch, enough to last for two weeks, even though I often run out sooner, so great to have in stock for a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. Also, if your freezer is large enough and you have a lot of time one day, you can certainly prepare even more. I try to prepare them as much as possible.

Tips and variations: Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs to your liking. Experiment with different herb combinations to find your perfect blend. You can also adjust the size of the patties to fit your individual portion needs. I prefer smaller patties, allowing me to adjust my portion size depending on my appetite. I freeze them between sheets of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. This makes it easier to grab a single patty for reheating.

Beyond the breakfast plate: Don't limit these patties to breakfast! They're equally delicious for lunch or even dinner. They're incredibly versatile and can be easily incorporated into various meals. Add them to a salad, use them in a burger, or simply enjoy them as a quick and easy protein source. The possibilities are endless!

Making these AIP Three Herb Beef Breakfast Patties has become a ritual for me – a quiet moment of self-care amidst the chaos of my busy life. Knowing that I have a healthy, delicious, and convenient breakfast waiting for me in the freezer takes away one less thing to worry about in the morning. It's a small act of self-care, but it makes a big difference in my overall well-being and my ability to tackle the day with energy and focus. So, if you're a busy woman who's looking for a simple, yet satisfying, breakfast solution, I highly recommend giving these patties a try. You won't regret it!

Serving suggestions: While I enjoy my patties with breakfast greens and sauerkraut, you can also pair them with other AIP-compliant sides. Some suggestions include: steamed spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, or a side salad with a simple vinaigrette.

Step-by-step

• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, fresh herbs, and sea salt. Form into patties using the palms of your hands.
• Heat some of the coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-8 minutes a side, until nicely browned on the outside and cooked throughout.
