Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins with Fresh Garden Herbs

If we want to be healthy, we have to make food. We can’t rely on the ready-made products found in supermarkets. And we can never be sure what ingredients are being used in cafès and restaurants. These foods may be convenient and delicious  – but what are they doing to our metabolism, our inflammation levels, our immune system and our stress response? The only way to be sure that what we put into our mouths is nutritious and supportive of our health and healing is to make our meals at home using fresh ingredients. Most of the time.

But shopping for food, preparing it and washing up all take time. Feeling that we’re tied to the kitchen happens to everyone. It’s boring, frustrating and, yes, it can be stressful.

The solution to this problem is efficiency, organisation and following this Golden Rule: Whenever Possible, Make More Than You Need.

Make Ahead Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins

Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins are a nutritious, delicious time saving wonder. They use just four, easy ingredients. If you make them on Saturday afternoon, you can sleep in and relax on Sunday, knowing that brunch is done. But they’re not limited to breakfast. Pack them into a lunchbox and they’re perfect for school, for work, for a hike in the mountains, or for any situation which requires food-on-the-go.

Even My Neice Can Make Them!

Remember the bushfires that burnt throughout Australia over the Christmas period of 2001? We were there. The smoke and anxiety was horrible. But it was lovely to visit my family. We stayed for a few days with my neice in Canberra. She’s brilliant in all sorts of ways (follow her on Instagram @mekeng). But it’s fair to say that cooking isn’t high on her Love To Do list. Before we arrived, she hunted through my recipes and made a big batch of Bacon and Egg Breakfast Muffins. We were impressed and delighted – look how gorgeous they were. She’ll poke me for saying this, but it’s true: if she can make them, so can you.
