Spiced Sweet Potato Breakfast Custard with Cranberries and Pecans



I am so ready for fall. We have only been back to school for a week and I am already buying pumpkin scented candles and planning out all my pumpkin spice treats. I think Starbucks releases the #PSL on September 1st and you should all just know - true story - I will be drinking one the day after my Whole130 is over. I love fall and the yummy food that comes with it. Spiced sweet potato custard with cranberries and pecans is about as fall as it gets, and when I made this for my breakfasts this week I seriously contemplated eating the whole pan. 


I have made this exact recipe with a can of pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice, but I saw the can of sweet potato and thought it would be a good switch up. 

Spiced Sweet Potato Breakfast Custard with Cranberries and Pecans

2 ripe bananas 
4 eggs 
1 can of full fat coconut milk 
1 can of sweet potato puree 
2 tbs of almond butter 
1 tbs Raz el hanout 

Optional toppings: Cranberries and pecans 


Mash the bananas and beat in four eggs 



Add sweet potato, coconut milk, almond butter and spices 

Blend with an immersion blender 

Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle a few whole30 compliant cranberries (they are sweetened with apple juice NOT sugar) and some chopped pecans. 

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until firm 

This stuff is SO good. It would make a great paleo friendly dessert/breakfast for Thanksgiving or Christmas. And it is toddler approved. 

I portioned it out into tupperware for breakfast this week. It can be eaten cold or heated up! I like it cold because it has a firmer texture that way. 


I liked the combination of raz el hanout with this. It's like a warmer spicy pumpkin spice blend. Adds a little something extra to it. Another really good option would be to mix in baked apple pieces or blueberries. I may experiment with a few other variations of this breakfast custard during the next few months of my whole130.


 The original recipe comes from The Louisiana Bride.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get t

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to

On Sunday, I completed my second marathon. I finished this marathon with a slower pace than my first marathon, but I also finished this marathon a lot happier. In 2018 I started training for my second marathon and quit because I hated it. I thought I hated running, but I have come to realize I was really just struggling with my image. I came to believe that running was responsible for making my body smaller and to keep myself skinny I needed to run. I also started to believe that in order to be a real runner or feel like I was good enough I had to run at a certain pace. I put a lot of pressure on myself to PR marathon number two in 2018 and when I realized those paces were not coming it made me start negative self talk and the constant negativity around running wasn’t about the running it was about my thoughts. When I started working on accepting my body no matter what size I was and accepting my running no matter how slow I was, I found peace in the process of marathon training. I nev
