egg muffins & quinoa
So i started working through my new cookbook and have 2 ideas to share!
Egg Muffins- never thought to bake eggs in a muffin pan before! Just mix egg whites & eggs with a little milk, pour into muffin cups and bake for 12-15 min at 400 degrees! Sprinkle with bacon- yum! Jessica Seinfield suggests adding chickpeas for added protein without the fat, but we didn't really like the taste. I would add more cheese to bake into the egg!
Quinoa- my new favorite super food- a protein rich seed that's gluten free! It's a little pricey so I am keeping my eyes open for sales. I cook mine for dinner with chicken broth to give it a great taste instead of cooking with water. Jessica has a recipe for breakfast made of cooked quinoa, sweet potato puree, little maple syrup, milk, cinnamon and pinch of salt! So yummy, i loved it!

Wanted to try the muffins tomorrow before a big run. Did you use already cooked quinoa for the muffins? And do you have a recipe for the breakfast quinoa with the sweet potato? Sounds incredible! Thanks for sharing your ideas! They both sound so de-lish!! (:
