Hey, friends! Today I want to share a recipe that feels, to me, like the closest you can get to “comfort food” during Whole 30. Now that I am done with my Whole 30, I am still making variations of this meal several times a week.
It’s a favorite in our house because you can make it with a huge variety of ingredients (whatever’s left in the fridge), and you can eat it for any meal of the day. I’ll share my favorite variations below.

Sausage, Potato and Mushroom Skillet, serves two.
2 tablespoons avocado oil
2 sausage links (you can use any flavor and it can be pork, turkey or veggie)
1 sweet potato, cut into small sliced pieces (we love Japanese sweet potatoes—they are purple-ish on the outside and white on the inside)
1/4 small white onion, chopped
6 large mushrooms, chopped
garlic powder
1 sprig rosemary
Tamari (or soy sauce) to taste
In a large skillet, start with the oil and sweet potatoes and onions, since they take the longest to cook.
When they are almost done (I like mine super crispy, but that’s up to you!), add the mushrooms and sausage and a little Tamari (or soy sauce), a sprinkle of garlic powder and one sprig of rosemary chopped into tiny pieces.
Let it cook some more. You won’t need salt since the Tamari is salty. Let it cook until you can see that the sausages are completely done, and serve!
*Whole 30 people can substitute Coconut Aminos for Tamari and just make sure your sausages don’t contain sugar and you’re good!
Breakfast variations—For breakfast I like to eat just sweet potatoes with an egg or half a cut up avocado. Kinda similar to sweet potato hash.
Other variations—If you’re wanting a lighter meal, you can reduce the amount of potatoes and add way more mushrooms. I love that.
You can also try red peppers, different kinds of potatoes, or green beans. I like to use a lot of rosemary, and Jeremy doesn’t use any. So experiment until you find your favorite combinations!
Love this as a great veggie whole30 option! I lost fifteen pounds on it last year and am starting a second round now.
Sounds so good! I will definitely be trying it! A variation I also enjoy is sausage, sweet potato, onion, and kale.
This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it!

This is exactly the type of meal that I need in my life right now. Easy to make variations of, but also clean eating. 🙂
This looks so good!

I found that the most complicated meal for me while doing Whole 30 was breakfast, mostly because I like it sweet haha. Did you have any go to recipes for the morning Elsie?
This looks delicious and definitely something worth trying. I’m currently doing my 4th round of Whole30 (since January!) and I’m letting myself have those ‘comfort foods’…so more of a paleo lifestyle. I still eat Whole30 ingredients, but the idea of comfort food isn’t compliant to Whole30. Congrats on completing your rounds!
I wouldn’t say that Dallas and Melissa Hartwig have zero education or training.
Sounds so yummy, I just came back home from vacation and am planning on doing a whole 30, I hope I stay motivated

This looks so good! Definitely going to do this when I start again. Thinking about doing 60 days like you did but haven’t committed to that one yet!
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the information. I read the article.
We always try to be very thoughtful about things we endorse on this blog and Whole 30 is still something I feel very comfortable endorsing based on my personal experience.

I’m so happy to hear about your positive experience! :))

This sounds so yummy!! Must try it out now 😉
