Pork Egg Muffins

This week has been super busy. Wow. A lot of homework assignments were due, and tests had to be taken, and I am SO glad it’s the weekend! All I wanted to do this week was eat cupcakes, pizza, brownies, all of it; I am a hard-core stress eater.  But alas, I am still doing my paleo-ish challenge, which is probably good so I didn’t gain a thousand pounds. All of my snacks were carrot sticks, snap peas, and frozen banana “ice cream”, which really don’t turn into fat very easily... and also not very comforting. And fall is upon us starting again today, after a super hot week of 80-degree weather, it’s kind of nice to pull out my sweaters and thick socks. Also, fall activities and October festivities may now commence. I look forward to bonfires, movies in the mountains, steamers, carving pumpkins, and making treats with pumpkin as the main ingredient. What do you like to do in the fall?

Today I am sharing with you an awesome breakfast secret. Make it once and eat it for the next few days, what is it? Egg Muffins! Not only are these delicious, they are healthy and paleo approved. Which is important if you decided to take a weird leap and are trying it out for a hot minute like yours truly.
