Hot & Hearty Paleo Holiday Hash

To me, the fall holiday season is all about family and friends, tradition, warm hugs, a blazing fireplace, and of course great food.

This Holiday Hash recipe is the essence of the holidays all wrapped up in one easy-to-prepare paleo and gluten-free dish.

It brings together some of my favorite flavors of fall including fresh-picked apples, golden sweet potatoes, sizzling sausage, cinnamon and other warm winter spices – plus a dash of tartness from dried cranberries.

The aroma of this hash simmering on the stove is absolutely heavenly – and it never fails to quickly gather everyone around the table no matter how busy they are this time of year. 

It’s a very versatile one-skillet dish too…you can serve this holiday hash as a side with an elegant meal like roasted turkey, or you can scramble some eggs and make this easy recipe into an absolutely scrumptious breakfast!

Sweet, savory, and spicy – I really hope you give this special holiday paleo recipe a try.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
