PaleOMG!

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted! Life has been so hectic! A couple months ago I traded my dressy sweatpants in for some workout attire! Before I got pregnant with Little Brother, I had gotten into Crossfit thanks to some very persuasive friends! I was addicted at my first class so I was bummed that I had to quit (under doctor's orders). As soon as I got the all clear from my OB, I got right back in The Box!!! It's been an extremely long struggle and I started back at square one, but now I am definitely back in the swing of things and I am finally seeing some real results! I recently signed up for the 30 Day Paleo Challenge at The Box. Paleo is also known as The Caveman Diet; Eating food in its whole, pure form. No carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no grains. Nothing processed or refined. It's challenging at first and takes planning but I've been cooking a lot more (which Hubby loves) and I'm losing weight and getting closer and closer to my pre-pregnancy self (that I wasn't sure I would ever see again!!) Among the many meals I have made this week, my family and friends have loved my Paleo Egg Muffins. I can call them mine because the original recipe I found had you make the "bowl" out of muffin mix (which obviously isn't Paleo) so I took the recipe and made it Paleo! Here's what you need...

1 lb of nitrate free bacon
9 cage free eggs
Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Cook the bacon a little more than 50% and then take the strips and wrap them on the inside of the muffin tin cup (spray the muffin pan with organic cooking spray first). Crack the eggs in a large measuring cup and add a little water (NO dairy!). Beat together and then pour into muffin tin cups, filling each about halfway. Pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes and then you are done! Now you have individually portioned breakfasts ready to go for the busy week!! Take one out, pop it into the microwave for 20 seconds and enjoy!!

For a variation, you can sauté some locally grown veggies and add those to the egg mix! I added onions and spinach to the latest batch! Yum!!
