Healthy Egg Muffins

Seasonal allergies are a problem in our house.

Not for me … yet.  Like vertigo, I know it’s only a matter of time.

In fact allergies weren’t a problem for Mom and Dad until the past few years.  Suddenly it was like pollen was attacking them.  The sneezing, sniffling, and nose blowing are both annoying and hilarious.

There are itchy, watery eyes, scratchy throats, and more unusual things you wouldn’t normally associate with allergies, like a fluttering sensation in your chest that might make you think you are having a mild heart attack.  Nope, just allergies.

Sneezing presents its own risks.  They come with little warning when Mom is in the middle of cooking, cleaning, eating, driving.  And if she doesn’t brace herself, bad things happen.

Healthy Egg Muffins

The other day, in fact, Mom sneezed three times and threw out her back.  A few innocent little sneezes and Mom was in debilitating pain for about a week.  We cancelled plans to attend a charity event (but the weather was gross, so it was fine) and Dad hit up Books on the Lake with me (more on that next week).

Of course, it doesn’t help that Mom is like many other moms out there and couldn’t sit still most of the time.  Rest assured, I did everything I could to help, but Mom still tackled many tasks.

Luckily, her back is healed thanks to a little forced rest, time, and lots of turmeric (it works, people!) but she is waiting, bracing herself with each sneeze, hoping it doesn’t happen again.

Healthy Egg Muffins

Healthy Egg Muffins are sure to keep her feeling good.  They are easy to make, full of nutrition, gluten free, and the perfect on the go breakfast.  They are super adaptable to whatever ingredients you have on hand.  Because Dad loves these, I made them with Egg Beaters since he tries to avoid too much cholesterol.  I also added lots of broccoli and cauliflower and ham and cheese.

Mushrooms, spinach, onion, and kale would be great in these and you can of course use regular eggs.  Bacon can swap in for the ham, and any kind of cheese will be fabulous.  What’s even better is that these freeze perfectly.  Let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight to just grab in the morning or warm them briefly in the microwave.

    These look so delicious!! I eat an egg almost every day and what a great way to enjoy them! I hope all the allergies subside soon. It’s a bad season for pollen this spring. Good luck is wished for your household.

    What a great and easy recipe. Also a great way to use up raw veggies and ham.
    I really like how you cook them in paper muffin cups and no sticking to the cupcake pan.
    Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso V Currently craving a giant slice of this Espresso Vanilla Bean Tiramisu Cake. Then again, when am I not craving it??? This cake has all the flavors of tiramisu and is covered in a drippy glaze that packs a second kick of coffee. So that means it's totally acceptable to eat this for breakfast, right??? ☕😋
