Recipe Week!

I have a bunch of recipes that I've been meaning to share with you guys, so this week, there might be a few extra posts. Get excited! 

Anyone who knows me will account to the fact that I have a new found obsession with cooking. I'm often found looking through one of my cookbooks, planning meals for the weeks ahead (am I right, roommates?).

For today's recipe, I've got a breakfast one for you. This is what we had for St. Patrick's day breakfast (the start of an amazing food day, but more info to come on that later).

Recipe #1: Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups

Ingredients:

12 turkey bacon strips

1.5 cups eggs substitute

6 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side or until partially set but not crisp.

2. Coat six muffin cups with cooking spray; wrap two bacon strips around the inside of each cup. Fill each with 1/4 cup egg substitute; top with cheese. 

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Sprinkle each cup with parsley.

And for the Fit Club update? Well I'll leave it at this:

Gym: 7/7 days. Success.

Better luck this week?
