Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins – Paleo, Whole 30

July 28, 2017 By Angie 2 Comments

Yes, they're nutritionally sound and fragrant with fresh herbs. But mostly, Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins let you sleep in late when you really need to.

Bacon and eggs in a muffin. They’re nutritionally sound, with fat, protein and low carbohydrate vegetable all accounted for. They’re elegantly flavoured with fresh garden herbs. They’re easy to make – just four ingredients. And they’re cute, so the kids’ll love them. But best of all, they let you sleep in when you really need to.

Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins with Fresh Garden Herbs

Just want the recipe without the documentary of my life? Scroll down.

Earlier in the week, I realised I was starting to get stressed and tired. We’ve moved up to my father’s place at Monte for these hot summer months, and as much as it’s idyllically peaceful, it also means we’re further away from work, shops and routine activities. It’s just 20 minutes from our apartment in Zugliano, but that means getting up twenty minutes earlier, and for some reason the difference between 6.20 am and 6 am takes it’s toll. And not just that. Twenty minutes down, twenty minutes back up, that’s forty minutes out of my day. It’s forty minutes when I can’t work on the blog, or study the Primal Health Coach Course, or prepare food, or simply relax. Those precious minutes don’t re-generate in other ways. Making these Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins certainly didn’t gift me an hour when I made them on Tuesday – in fact, it’s possible that they took me to the edge – but on Wednesday I was happy I’d gone the distance because they let me off cooking for a day.

Yes, they're nutritionally sound and fragrant with fresh herbs. But mostly, Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins let you sleep in late when you really need to.

All the Other Things

On top of getting up earlier and feeling strapped for time, inflammation had wedged itself into my lower back, making everything difficult. I decided I needed to sleep in. Fiorenzo’s a capable man, multi-skilled in all sorts of ways, and perfectly able to make breakfast for himself, but we women will feel responsible. Especially when the habits of the relationship revolve around certain commitments and roles. Him, steady job and income, starting and finishing times. Me, flexible everything: job, income, hours, which means All the Other Things fall into my To Do List. You know: washing, shopping, putting the shopping away, preparing food, washing up, remembering to take something out of the freezer for tomorrow, loading the washing machine, hanging it out, bringing it in, walking the dog, grooming and feeding the dog, does she have fresh water?, watering the plants, thinking about meals for tomorrow, baking something because biscuits help, checking the clock because in 10 minutes I have to stop what I’m doing and Prepare. More. Food.

Yes, they're nutritionally sound and fragrant with fresh herbs. But mostly, Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins let you sleep in late when you really need to.

Trick: Use silicon muffin moulds – they’ll pop right out.

On Tuesday evening, I sort of flipped out. On the way home from teaching a class, I’d stopped off at the supermarket and bought a couple of gorgeous, fatty steaks. At home in Zugliano, I put them in the fridge, then did some work on the pc. Then, I packed the things I needed to take up to Monte, including the Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins. I checked my list, loaded the car, loaded the dog, and headed back up the hill. When I arrived, I realised that dinner was still sitting in the fridge down below. I almost cried, but didn’t quite. Instead, I went off on one of those women’s laments, born of sheer exhaustion and frustration.

Women and men are different. Not better or worse, just different. Women have a primal need to go ‘blah’. It’s not about seeking causes, solutions or projecting blame. It’s just a way of letting out that which’s bottle up. Men rarely get this, and interpret whatever’s said as, ‘It’s my fault. She thinks I’m not doing enough.’ Aware of this, I tried my best to dam the flood with strategic interjections of ‘It’s not you, or the relationship. It’s just The Situation.’ Bless him, he did recognise that I was super tired, and possibly needed more than just A Day on My Own.

The Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins made everything okay. On Wednesday morning, I slept in. He got up,  ate muffins, and left without making a noise. When I emerged, I wasn’t hungry. I drank coffee, studied, took Roxy for a walk, took these photos, and ate my muffins as a very late brunch.


More Make Ahead Breakfast Ideas

Rosemary, Fennel and Garlic All-Day Beef Burgers – The garlic sounds out in these, so if that bothers you for breakfast breath, or if you have FODMAP issues, then just leave it out – don’t be shy with the rosemary!

Double Dish Pork with Lemon and Sage – If you’re not into soup and other savoury flavours for breakfast, then this might woo you over. A great option for the cooler months.

Strawberry Tapioca Cream – A great alternative to yoghurt and chia seed puddings, and perfect with Real Simple Granola.

80% of what you look like and how you feel depends 80% of what you look like and how you feel depends on what you put into your mouth. 80%! The other 20% is divided between how you’re moving, how you’re sleeping, how you’re connecting (with others, yourself, nature & the world) and how you’re thinking, your mindset.

The importance of that 80% cannot be overemphasised.

Things we commonly put into our mouth:
🔸 damage our gut
🔸 wreck havoc with our hormones
🔸 mess with our head
🔸 disrupt our metabolism
🔸 send our immune system into overdrive
🔸 send our stress levels skyrocketing

Changing dietary habits is crucial if you want to get your weight, your inflammation and pain, & your stress levels under control.

Essentially, it’s not hard. Pragmatically, it’s hard to change habits.

Helping you to change habits for health is my job, and I love what I do. ❤️

I was lucky. Because Fiorenzo had his own health p I was lucky. Because Fiorenzo had his own health problems, he came on board when I needed to make big changes. We committed together, and it made - it makes - the whole trip so much easier.

Surrounding yourself with people who are encouraging , who believe in your ability to transform & who are not going to sabotage your efforts is super important. 

Who supports you in your efforts to be healthy?

Acknowledge. Embrace. Release. This is an interest Acknowledge. Embrace. Release. This is an interesting one to contemplate, and may be powerful when applied to your health & healing. 

I had to ACKNOWLEDGE that the diet & lifestyle which I was CONVINCED was healthy & ethical was doing me no good. On the contrary, it was taking me towards autoimmune disease.

That was hard.

I had to EMBRACE all those things that I loved: eating habits, belief systems, ways of moving, my business... Embrace them & give thanks for all that they’d given me & taught me.

And I had to RELEASE them.

You know what the interesting thing about “Release” is? It’s that you don’t stop being you. You don’t lose anything. You don’t stop enjoying your time with friends. You don’t lose your qualities of compassion & kindness. You don’t become less. You become more.

Wiser. Stronger. More understanding. Healthier. Happier. More open & resilient.

What do you need to Acknowledge, Embrace and Release?

What gets you down the most? The digestive issues What gets you down the most? The digestive issues - acid reflux, constipation, bloating, cramps? The pain - joint pain, headaches, aching shoulders, back ache? The weak immunity - catching every darn cold and flu that passes? The low energy? The constant hunger? The low self esteem because you can’t figure it out?

Sweet, I got it all figured out. If you’re ticking off symptoms on the list above, then you need to tweak your diet & lifestyle.

It’s not hard on paper, but it can be challenging to put it into practice.

Start getting back on track by downloading my free Health Reset guide - link in bio. Get on my list - I’ve got a super fun, super fascinating and super effective 31 day program coming up soon. 👏💪😀

LIFE OR DEATH? That’s the level of stress that y LIFE OR DEATH? That’s the level of stress that your body/brain is subjected to when you’re metabolically trapped in a Carb Burning Cycle. 

All carbs, healthy (like whole grains) and unhealthy (like sweets) are broken down into simple chains in the gut. When they enter the bloodstream IT’S ALL SUGAR. 

⚡️High blood sugar is life threatening so insulin is released to pull it out & store it.
⚡️Low blood sugar is life threatening, so you’ll be manipulated to eat.
⚡️High insulin blocks your ability to burn fat.

Is this really what you want? Is that bread, pasta, cookie & soda habit really worth the stress?

Obviously, there’s more to it than this - but it’s easily explained. The “Carbohydrate / Sugar Burner” post is up on the Home Page.
