Easy Breakfast Frittatas

Let's be honest... my a.k.a. ain't Betty Crocker.  When I do my shopping for the week I try to buy the quickest and easiest things.  Eating Paleo has put a cramp in my shopping list.

My BP (Before-Paleo) breakfast used to include a Fiber One Breakfast Bar and a banana on the way to work.  It was easy, quick, and I could share it with the two year old mini-me in the back seat.  I started doing Google searches of "easy Paleo breakfast ideas" and found this amazing recipe that I tweaked to my tastes:

Cupcake Frittatas (just the name makes it sound delicious doesn't it???):

Muffin Tray (12)
8 organic eggs (I use half egg whites/half whole eggs)
Turkey Sausage (browned)
Veggies (Mushrooms, Red Peppers, Cherry Tomatoes, Onion, Broccoli, Spinach, Jalapenos, Zucchini)
Coconut Oil

1.  Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2.  Grease muffin-cups with coconut oil
3.  Layer muffin-ups with spinach (imagine the paper wrapper)
4.  Sautee veggies with a little bit of coconut oil and add even amounts to each cup.
5.  Add whisked eggs to each cup (about 3/4 full)

Bake for 15-18 minutes until the eggs are set.

Slide a butter knife around each cup to loosen and turn upside down on a piece of wax paper to cool.

I portion out two in zip lock bags for a whole weeks worth of breakfast.  Because each little "muffin" has different veggies, it's a new taste every day.

Enjoy!!

p.s.  I promise to work on taking better foodie pictures:)

Transitions


So... my husband and I rarely eat dinner.  We generally only sit down to eat once during the week (our rest day) and on the weekends.  Now, I know what you're thinking... what do those amazing little girls eat?  This is where my amazing husband comes in:  I get home from work everyday by about 6 to find my man making a healthy mix of food for the girls.  After the gym, we both chug a protein shake and call it a day.

Well, today being our rest day, we all sat down to eat.  Tonight, my husband made a great pork stir fry.  Segue into the title of the blog... this amazing stir fry (shown above) was a great Paleo or WLC start.  The problem was the sauce....

So, in this spirit of transitions, we are now in need of modifying our style of cooking (3 weeks left).  My goal for the week is to find some great recipes for stir-fry like sauces that could make the above dish be true Paleo.  Wish me luck.

Note:  The goal of this blog is to capture tasty recipes and ideas (among other things)... No pressure, but feel free to add some inspiring ideas! 

My baby's got sauce...
