Egg Muffins

I tried these in the large muffin pan and then put them in the freezer. I usually take these out the morning before I plan on eating them so they have time to defrost. They make a great start to my day and keep me full for a good 3 hours.

2. Grease two muffin pans with olive oil.
3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs well.
4. In a food processor, process zucchini, pepper, and green onion (if using) until finely chopped, but not smooth.
5. Add chopped vegetables to the eggs.
6. Finely chop spinach in the food processor and add to the egg mixture.
7. Stir in the ham and mix well.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle

What I eat on Paleo...

If you're wondering what I eat, I'll tell you:

Eat:

• Grass-fed meats ~ The reason you should eat grass fed is they have found to have the same problem in animals as they do with humans in regards to grains.
• Fish ~ Best to get wild fish because there seems to be issues with farmed fish. I actually can taste the difference in wild vs farmed.
• Fowl ~ Chicken, duck, turkey, hen
• Eggs ~ Organic Omega-3 enriched
• Healthful Oils ~ Olive, Walnut, Flaxseed, Macadamia, Avocado, Coconut!!!
• Vegetables ~ I stay with as many green veggies as I can but all are just as great!
• Fruits ~ I tend to stay away from fresh fruits because they tend to have a lot calories and some have a lot of sugar in them. If you're trying to lose weight then I'd suggest limiting.
• Nuts and seeds ~ Tend to be higher in calories too but you're getting your good fats from them. Just don't over indulge!

Don't Eat:

• Cereal grains
• Legumes
• Peanuts
• Dairy
• Refined Sugar
• Potatoes
• Processed foods
• Salt
• Refined vegetable oils

Limited Carbohydrates and Paleo

I've created this blog really for myself as an easy way to find recipes that I've come across and that I've made. Rather than keep the information to myself I've decided to make public in case anyone else might enjoy some of what I have found as well. My recipe approach will be moreso along the lines of a limited carbohydrate diet as well as paleo.
