Delicious sausage muffins

-

I have a confession to make... I rarely eat breakfast. This has always been a problem for me, but let's face it- it was a lot easier pre-pandemic to grab a coffee and bagel or an early lunch when you were already out of the house to go to work. Time flies when you work from home- leading to zero work-life balance in the middle of a crazy pandemic- and before I know it, it's 3 PM and I haven't eaten anything at all. I rarely eat out these days because its inconvenient to leave the house just to grab lunch; so I have been on the search for grab and go breakfasts that I can have with my morning coffee on the couch that will keep me full until lunch time.

I batch cook this breakfast on the weekends when I meal prep or early Monday morning. This really isn't a low-carb option (if that is what you are looking for), but right now, it is honestly more important that I actually eat something in the morning than worry about making sure it is low-carb. Plus most of my other meals are low-carb so I'm okay with this option.

Enter... sausage muffins! I can't remember where I found this recipe, and I think I honestly just piece-mealed (is that a word?) it together from a few I've found around the internet. These are super delicious, filling, and packed with protein. I guess you could always make this low carb, and omit the flour and maybe add more eggs and veggies to make mini quiches. It's a pretty versatile recipe. These are great for lunch too. Mine made 14 muffins so I had plenty to eat throughout the week.

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 eggs 
  • 1 1/2 cup milk 
  • 1 cup shredded cheese 
  • veggie(s) of choice
  • breakfast sausage (I use Jimmy Dean)

Instructions: 

  • Brown the sausage. In a bowl, mix together the eggs and veggie(s). In a second bowl, combine flour, milk, cheese, egg & veggie mixture, and browned sausage and mix together to combine into a batter. Pour mixture into oiled muffin tins, and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. 

I hope you enjoy if you try this out! Let me know what you think. What are some of your favorite batch-cook breakfasts? I am always looking for new ideas.

    You could try with almond flour if you wanted to make it low carb. Maybe I'll give it a try next week...🤔

      Oh yeah, I have almond flour. They're so good. Very "bready" if that makes sense.

    I am a total breakfast person but would not necessarily need something hearty like sausage in the morning. This sounds good though :)

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

Our Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Monday, y'all. I gotta be honest, with everything going on I completely forgot it was Memorial Day weekend! Here's what we got up to.  Friday was an extremely productive day. I got a ton checked off my deep cleaning to-do list, including cleaning out my toaster, deep cleaning the fridge, scrubbing down the cabinets, and taking apart and cleaning the vacuum. I also meal prepped my favorite low-carb Mexican beef casserole and cleaned my kitchen floor. Whew!  I didn't sleep well Friday night, so I slept in late Saturday morning. We had a late brunch and got back to work. Hubby worked in Isabela's room, while I tackled more off my deep cleaning to-do list. Then we worked together to hook up the fridge so we could finally have a working ice maker. By the end of that project I had to reclean my entire kitchen, from dusting to reorganizing cabinets to washing the floor. It was dinner time when we finished- we were both too pooped to cook, so we opted for Portuguese take
