These simple cheesy veggie & egg muffins are so versatile and a perfect easy grab and go breakfast option for the whole family!
After a bit of a break from posting on Chocolate Slopes, I’m back!
I started a full-time job at the beginning of 2019 with a corporate wellness company. And since that began I thought I’d be done blogging.
However, since being away from it a bit, I’ve decided I couldn’t stay away. I love providing readers with worthwhile recipes (at least I hope so), and realistic nutrition tips. And particularly meal plans that I actually create for my family.
So here I am.
After working at my current employer for some time now, and with my dietitian background, I have realized time and time again that people typically know how to eat nutritiously. But putting it into practice is another story.
And don’t get me started on quick fixes, diets, so-called “lifestyle” plans (aka diets)…or any other crazy fads that pop up in the media monthly.
I.CAN’T.STAND.DIET.FADS.
If you’re looking for breakfast ideas this one is a hit for kids and adults.
As you may notice from the picture, I added vegetables to some muffin cups and left them out in other cups. This sort of recipe is what I call adaptable for kids, while NOT being a short-order cook.
I recently had a conversation with a friend and we discussed the struggle of feeding our kids nutritious foods. With the focus being not making more than one meal per night and not serving just “kid” food.
So I thought this recipe is a good example of how to make one recipe while adapting it to fit individual preferences. I’ll still make sure my kids still have vegetables to choose from, but probably not if this is served at breakfast.
Here are a few other make-ahead breakfast ideas I’ve made in the past and love:
