Some weeks you just need a redux! It’s been one of those weeks where I had too much to do, was distracted by many things and technology was definitely not on my side. My computer’s still giving me issues on and off and my tax advisor advised me not to buy a new one until next year. I guess I pay her to tell me things I want to hear and not want to hear. So I’m just crossing my fingers that this one one holds on until then.

You know what else deserves a redux? Old, ugly picture recipes! They just keep coming back to haunt me like a few weeks ago when Eating Healthy magazine shared my egg muffins on Instagram and suddenly thousands of people were coming here seeing horrible pictures that look like a third grader took them. I would be lying if I said I was happy about it. In fact, it was gut wrenching.

Slowly I’ve been going through my recipe index and reshooting them. It’s a daunting task and truthfully, I feel as if I’ll never finish. Some recipes like this Easy Spinach Pepper Egg Muffins are just too good and deserved to be re-shared in a brand spanking new post!

I’ve been making egg muffins for many years than I can remember. I always struggled working a full time job being able to eat them for breakfast though because there wasn’t enough time in the morning to cook them. Apparently, I’m still struggling. HAHA!

At one point, I realized I could make them in muffin form on the weekend and have them ready to go during the week to get my protein fix! They were also an egg-cellent way for me to eat more vegetables without trying too hard.

These Easy Spinach Pepper Egg Muffins take less than 30 minutes to make on the weekend, are gluten free, low calorie and completely customizable too. A guaranteed breakfast life savior for busy mornings. They certainly saved me this week!
