Egg Muffins

Always tweaking past recipes to make them better. I don't think these could be any better. Simple, easy and a great breakfast item to have on hand for busy morbings, camping or any other traveling. Hope you enjoy. 

🌱1 bunch green onions, chopped

🍎1 red bell pepper, diced

🍚1 cup grated cheese

🐷1/2c bacon pieces (optional)

🍳4 egg yolks

🍳8-10 egg whites. 

Preheat oven to 350°. In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks and whites. In a cupcake pan, layer green onions, bell pepper, cheese and bacon bits. Pour egg mixture over top of each "cupcake/muffin." Place in oven between 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you want the outside. I did 30 minutes and they were delicious! 

Enjoy

Protein Fudge

I've been wanting to make protein bites (balls) for sometime now, and thought it would be easier to make fudge. I can see this recipe evolving in to something fantastic. These turned out good, but the possibilities are endless! 

🍯6tbsp coco-nut butter (I used YouFreshNaturals White Chocolate Cake Batter)

🍶1/4c SF pancake syrup (I use Walden Farms)

🍚1 stevia packet

🍨1 scoop protein powder (I used Vega plant based Vanilla)

Mix all ingredients and spread in a small container lines with parchment paper. I was actually out of parchment and used plastic wrap which worked just fine. 

Place in fridge for a few hours to set. Cut in to desired portions. I cut mine in to 16 small bites sizes. 

Macros or each piece;

You can up the amount of protein if you choose a different powder. Vega only has 15g of protein per scoop, where as Pro7eun has 34!

Cauliflower Muffins

Oh, my poor abondoned blog. What ever shall I do with you? You have been left in the shadows of Instagram. I will try my best to make it up to you! I have recently posted my cauliflower muffins, and was going to give the recipe here, but @meganonajourney squeezed it out of me before I could dust you off! For those that do still follow, here it is!

Cook cauliflower in microwave for approx 10 minutes and let cool. (You can also steam if you choose not to use a microwave)

Grate cauliflower in large bowl. 

In small bowl add 4tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2c egg whites, italian seasoning or Mrs Dash garlic herb, and 1/8tsp saffron. Mix well and add to grated cauliflower. 

In greased cupcake pan, fill each about 1/2-3/4 full. Should make 12 "muffins."

Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. 

Grate 28g (or 1" cube) of Skinny Brit cheddar cheese (or another low fat cheese) and spread evenly over all 12 "muffins." Bake and additional 2-5 minutes on broil.  Cool completely before removing. Vóila! 

Cauliflower Salad

I recently came across a gluten free recipe for tabbouleh that replaced the couscous with cauliflower. I really wanted to attempt this dish, but didn't have any of the proper ingredients left from my recent trip to the farm, so I decided to make the dish with what I had left in the refrigerator. What I came up with was a fresh, crisp summer salad. A great alternative to rice, pasta or couscous. Here's what I added;

1⃣ Cauliflower head, grated

2⃣ Cucumber, diced with skin on

3⃣ Jalepeño, diced

4⃣ Red onion, diced

5⃣ 2 limes, juiced

6⃣ Black pepper 

7⃣ Garlic salt (or your seasoning of choice 

I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for a couple hours before serving with our dinner. 

Half a grilled chicken breast, SooFoo, cauliflower salad and half an avocado. All in a days macros!
