recipe: these egg muffins changed my life

I have a problem with snacking... and as much as I try to keep it relatively healthy or at least in control, I also tend to eat WAY too much chocolate lately.

To try and get more protein in my life, I decided to finally make these egg muffins I've seen so many times on Pinterest. They've seriously changed my life.

Make them as soon as you get home from the grocery store and you have the easiest breakfast/filling snack/delicious grub for a week or two!

NEED: [Whatever you like in your scrambled eggs, really... but this is what I put...]

• 7 eggs for 6 small-medium sized muffins
• 6 slices of ham
• 2 tbs green onions
• chopped white onions to your preference
• tsp of Old Bay
• cilantro, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
• About a 1/4 cup of milk

DO: 

1. Mix together the eggs, onions, milk, spices, and anything else you want in your eggs.

2. Spray your muffin tin with PAM or whatever you use, and place one slice of ham in each pit.

3. Pour even amounts of egg mixture into eat pit or whatever you call the muffin indentures.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. You'll know they're done when they're browning a little on the top.

5. Put them in baggies. I put two in each bag so that's it's a good amount of grub, but not too much. When you wanna eat them, heat em up for 15-20 seconds in the microwave.

Seriously, make them. Go crazy and throw in some sausage crumbles or bacon pieces or peppers... make em different every time... but enjoy them.

pinspired recipe: broccoli and cheese bites

If you're truly living life, you've tried broccoli and cheese soup, hopefully from Panera. Since I like to live life to the fullest, I became addicted to it for about a year and gained a lot of weight. Turns out- just because something has broccoli in it, doesn't mean it's healthy and you should eat multiple helpings of it every day.

That's kinda relevant to this Pinspired post. I found these broccoli bites and all I could think while eating them was "broccoli and cheese to-go!" I also feel like they're on the healthier side.... right?!

I'd say mine turned out pretty damn close to those pretty things, too!

They're super easy. You NEED: 

• 16 oz package of frozen, then steamed broccoli
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup of Italian seasoned bread crumbs

You DO: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl
3. Form the mixture into little patties on a baking dish [should be lined with the baking parchment paper, not wax paper like I tried.... My house filled with smoke. Woops.]
4. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip them over, and bake for another 10.

[This is how much I got out of making half the recipe]

I made them when I had a couple people over for a little pregaming. After making fun of me for cooking broccoli while we downed shots, they scarfed them up and wanted more. Nugget also stole one out of the bowl while we were downing said shots. 

AKA: Make them.
