July 24, 2018 By Holly 20 Comments

If you’ve been following us on social media, you might know that I spent a good portion of the month eating my way through the mediterranean. It was a lovely trip filled with gelato, amazing Greek food, and fantastic Italian drinks. I’ll definitely be posting more on my trip (and some travel inspired recipes!) later this summer, but as I transition back into real life and recover from jet lag, I’ve been relying on quick and easy recipes to get dinner on the table for my family. These Sheet Pan Chicken and Bell Pepper Fajitas are the perfect weeknight meal.

Healthy Egg White Breakfast Muffins

Let’s just get this out of the way: I am not a morning person. While having a toddler has certainly forced me to be an early riser, mornings are still not my most productive time. I much prefer a slow wake up, a lazy cup of coffee, and a leisurely breakfast. Unfortunately for me, being a full time working mama doesn’t mean that I can indulge in mornings MY way very often. So, I try and keep some healthy breakfast options on hand to ease the way. These Healthy Egg White Breakfast Muffins are a staple around here. They take less than 10 minutes to put together and freeze beautifully, all while being full of fresh veggies and tangy cheese. Paired with a lovely breakfast sausage or a glass of vegetable juice and it’s a filling, easy way to start the day.

The best thing about these egg muffins really is how versatile they are. I love to make mine with egg whites (to allow more calories for cheese!), bell peppers, and spinach. They are amazing with bacon, goat cheese and sundried tomatoes, too. Frequently, they are filled with whatever needs to be used up from the vegetable drawer….
