This afternoon I made breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the week. I win everything.
Let’s start with breakfasts. Take eight eggs, scramble ’em. Mix ’em with half an onion (diced), a cup of chopped spinach, some salty-pepper, and either cheese or crumbled bacon or chopped up breakfast links. (I’ve done all three. The only one that didn’t work was when, instead of tossing in crumbled bacon, I decided to line the cups with bacon strips. I’d seen it in a magazine or something. I ended up with perfectly cooked eggy cups wrapped in mostly raw bacon. Mmm, trichinosis.) Fill sprayed muffin tin cups about 2/3 of the way full. Bake at 350 for half an hour. Voila!
Then, the old standby, magic çoup.
And now for the pièce de frickin résistance: crispy slow cooker carnitas.
It was a little touch-and-go there for a minute at the end because the recipe asked for broiling. But once I figured out where the broiler was (It’s that drawer! Under the oven! That’s not just storage!) and got Redford’s giant skull out of the way, I was broiling! I broiled! I’m a broiler!
I put it with a little chopped cilantro and white onion and some tortilla chips.
Wow! I was feeling on top of my game because I grilled tandoori lamb and setup kabobs to marinate for later this week. You took it to another level. The frittatas look awesome. I’m totally doing that.
Tandoori *lamb*? *Tandoori* lamb? *Tandoori lamb*? Want.

Yum!!!
Those “muffins” actually look really good! I’ll have to try them…I’ll cook the bacon first…less oil that way as well.
pre-cooking the bacon is essential to making the ones where you line the muffin tin with bacon. i cook it until it’s not quite done (still flexible) but some of the fat has cooked off, usually about 10 minutes.
These are my favorites! I make them all the time. 20 sec in the microwave in the morning and Voila! You are eating breakfast! You’re a breakfast eater!
I also like adding zucchini and yellow squash and sometimes even mushrooms. How fancy are we???? before you know it, you’ll be making almond milk ;)
Mushrooms!! Nom nom.
Ha! Lookitchoo! Funny thing is, I just basically cooked ALL THE SAME THINGS the other night. Perhaps it was in the air. I guess you don’t want to take any pork off my hands, though. So. Much. Pork.
Speaking of: some pork trivia. Thrichinosis has been eradicated for some tens of years in the US. So go forth and eat raw sausage if ya want. Yes that’s actually a thing. Italians.
Get OUT. Why are we not all chewing on pigs all day?
