Easy Breakfast Tricks on the GO.

Before I share any recipes let's begin talking about how I eat.  I would also like to address the fact that I am not a nutritionist, fitness expert or a chef.  All recipes are inspired by my family, Pinterest, or are direct recipes that I will share with you via weblink or reference cookbook.

To start, I believe in going down to meals made with a compilation of single ingredients and spices.  I do not define myself as following any label of eating, rather I READ the labels. What I do firmly believe in, is not cutting out any one single food group.  They all have their purpose and if it comes from the earth - eat it.  (ok as long as it is not poisonous, and I mean like you will die poisonous) Potatoes for example, just a plain old potato.  From the earth right?  If organic, nothing processed about it?  Good old clean eating - how can a potato be bad for you?  Now also know that I do not eat like this 24/7.  I am known to be at Main Street Burger stuffing my face with sweet potato fries covered in ketchup, gorging on a juicy junior burger wrapping it all up with a chocolate milk shake - yes I actually just admitted that.

I am not putting an eating agenda out here, I am simply sharing my joy in cooking and baking. If you want to label it - go for it.

With that said, what did I eat at 5:45 AM this morning on the go? Little Egg muffins - YUM!

I know there are many versions of this out there, and yet here is another one!

Ingredients: (I use organic whenever possible but won't continue to belabor you with the word organic repeatedly.

  1. 6 cage free eggs
  2. 1/2 chopped red bell pepper
  3. 1/2 bag frozen chopped spinach (you can use fresh and cook it down, this was just super fast)
  4. 1/2 chopped small onion (I didn't have one on hand but makes this even yummier)
  5. 1 package bacon, cooked and crumpled into small pieces - I like Applegate
  6. 2 table spoons milk
  7. salt / pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425.  Bake your bacon in the oven on a foil lined baking sheet.  I love this trick - literally no greasy mess!  I know not rocket science but now I make bacon every weekend.  I tend to bake for 8 minutes check then another 5 minutes - 12 minutes total. See photos below - amazing right?

While bacon bakes, cook the spinach in microwave per instructions.  Chop up your pepper and onion. Whisk your eggs with 2 table spoons milk (or butter if you prefer).  Whisk in pepper, onions, spinach and bacon.  Grease your muffin pan how you choise - I use coconut oil spray. Evenly pour into your pan.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 375.  Eggs should be firm and rise.

Final touch - top with chopped avocado and hot sauce.  I am obsessed with Trader Joes hot sauce and it has very little sodium - crazy!   Made in advance only takes 5 minutes to heat, chop avocado and put on a plate and less time to eat. NOW THAT IS ON THE GO!
