Ever have one of those days, weeks or months when you feel like you’re on a roller coaster that doesn’t have an end in sight?
Well that’s been me the last month.
I’ll spare you with the details for now, but I sure could use a week-long nap!
Anyways, since returning from my Blog Brûlée trip a few days ago, I have yet to get settled.
Thankfully I had the chance to go grocery shopping and get some staples in the house. However, I haven’t had much of a chance for meal planning.
So I decided to throw together a few meals at a time using a few of my favorite proteins–eggs and beef!
Egg muffins have been growing in popularity quite a bit over the past few years. So I thought I’d share my favorite way to make them.
Part of this recipe is actually split into two meals. I used half the beef, onion and peppers in this recipe and the other half in another Chocolate Slopes recipe. These simple and delicious Cheesy Beef Roll Ups.
If you’d rather use all the beef, onion and peppers mixture just make sure to add enough eggs. You’ll need about 16 eggs instead of 8.
My favorite part about this recipe is that it’s simple to warm up in the microwave. And it provides an easy high protein meal in minutes.
Dietitian’s Dish
Each one of these breakfast muffins contains 15 grams of protein. Eating two of these muffins in the morning gives you about 30 grams of protein making it an excellent protein meal.
Protein not only helps keep you satisfied longer but also helps keep your muscles strong. And that’s important at any age!
