Mini Healthy Egg Bites (For Kids and Big Kids)

First of all my kids won't stop asking me to make these. They devoured them in minutes! These mini egg bites or egg muffins were inspired from my friend Allison who found this on Pinterest. Of course I immediately went to her board and had to repin it. Allison is a mom of 2, almost 3 kids, who I truly admire. She always has the coolest ideas from anything to recipes, costumes, to home organization. As a working mom of 2 kids myself, I truly don't know how she does it all!

Originally I wanted to use the large muffin tins that these are designed for. However, due to our home flooding a few weeks ago, I currently don't have a kitchen. Our kitchen supplies were quickly packed in boxes and it's hiding in one of the 40 boxes that were packed by the emergency flood workers. The only muffin tins I could find were my mini muffin tins. The positive side of using mini muffin tins is they take just 10 minutes to bake and they truly are bite size. The not so positive side is they are gone in 5 minutes!! My kids couldn't get enough of them! You can make these egg bites many different ways. I experimented by only using one of our muffin tins. Next time I'll fill both up and add grilled onions, chives, and mushrooms. For the kids I wanted to keep it simple.

Time to Prepare: 6 Minutes

Time to Cook: 10 - 12 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

3 Extra Large Organic Free Range Eggs

6 Tbs Almond Flour

Small Handful of chopped Arugula or chopped cooked broccoli (optional) (Any topping you desire. Keep it small since they really are very small)

2-3 Tbs of Grass Fed Chedder Cheese

Directions:

Spray the muffin tin with nonstick Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Beat eggs together, then add the Almond Flour. Beat again. Then sprinkle the cheese and veggie mixture in and mix well. You can add the cheese last and sprinkle on top if you prefer.

Pour in each mini muffin tin 3/4 of the way. They will bubble and rise past the top in the oven, but will flatten out once you take it out. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Spoon them out and serve.

Hope you like these super cute mini egg bites as much my kids and I did.

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience. I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)

To lift or not to lift, that is the question. Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle. I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others. Let's start with the photo below. This is a nice example of the female backside that shows two different body types. The woman on the left falls in the category of an ectomorph, which generally means skinny, little muscle, and a very high metabolism. She could probably eat what she wants and stay skinny. If she committed to a butt strengthening and enhancing program, filled with exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings , developing the butt on the right would still be unlike
