Be sure to scan this QR code to watch a video about my business and how it has changed my life and the lives of so many others! Thank you! (my fav QR reader is FREE on both Iphone and Android called RedLaser) www.patrioticpeacock.com Egg cups egg cups egg cups egg cups...how many times can you say that fast?? So before I start with this little diddy on how to make these, I must confess first. I never made them before tonight. I have seen them around here and there, people have talked about them yadda yadda but I never tried them. I'm once again suffering from insomnia and decided why not prep some food for the week! I had 2 dozen eggs, I was already making a frittata and I had some amazing bacon... WHY NOT? well shit they smelled so good that I couldn't wait to eat one. I BURNED MY LIP and tongue! So now I am sitting here nursing a blister on my mouth all in the name of bacon. Would I do it again? YES it's BACON!!!!!!!!!! Anyhow this is the most easy, ridiculous thing you can make that is so grab and go it's insane. It ends all excuses for not having enough time to have a great protein packed breakfast. it would even make a great pre or post workout snack!. It's 3am here in Texas and I'm cooking, so If I can.........anyone can find 20 minutes to do this.
First off, I'm a lazy cook. I don't like messes and well I don't like trying to pry stuff out of pans or other cooking vessels. So here I used a cupcake liner (foil not paper) to make these.
All you need, ARE YOU READY for the crazy stupid easiness ???
1 dozen eggs 12 strips of bacon cut in half a muffin tin salt and pepper if you feel so inclined.
THAT"S ALL FOLKS!
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Line your muffin tin with your foil cupcake liners.
Take one half of a strip of bacon and lay it down one side of the cup...across the bottom and up the other side........ Now take another half of a strip and do the same thing but on the side of the cupcake liner that doesn't have bacon covering it. it will make a little bacon cup inside the cupcake liner (YES you will double over the bottom of the cup but that's awesome right? TWO layers of bacon on bottom, hell yes please).
NOW for the hard part... Crack one each into each bacon filled cup! Add some salt/pepper if you wish and bake! for 15-20 minutes! THAT'S IT!
however WARNING!! DO WAIT until it cools before you attempt to eat scolding HOT BACON!!!!!
Enjoy~ Mandy
Best weight loss tool on the market!! Where else can you lose weight, feel amazing and earn an amazing income??? Oh Yeah with Saba! Join me today! http://thepatrioticpeacock.sababuilder.com or to just purchase ACE to try and our other amazing natural products head to www.patrioticpeacock.com I love all things breakfast! I can eat breakfast for lunch and dinner everyday! Something about it is just hearty and comforting. One of my favorite breakfast foods is a Frittata!! My daughter calls it egg pie ahaha! Little does she know, how good and nutritious it is for her and protein packed!! A Frittata is a great way to get a good meal that you can plan ahead. Make one the night before and simply reheat or just prep it the night before and pop in the oven the next day. I am personally a lazy morning cook. I do not like to get up in the morning and make anything so if I can do this in advance and make enough for a few mornings of breakfast that you can heat and go then AWESOME Woot that's another 15 minutes at least that I can sleep in before it's time to get up and go. So for my version of an amazingly delish paleo frittata here you go! And remember all of you non-paleo foodies, simply sub out my paleo choices for your fav dairy and fat options. Ingredients 8 eggs - 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 sweet onion
- 1/2 cup mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup chopped protein whether it's bacon, ham etc you use your wildest imagination
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions Preheat oven to 425 degrees whisk eggs and milk together
Heat a medium size skillet that is oven safe. I prefer cast iron. Add the coconut oil to the skillet so it can melt
Add Spinach, onions, mushrooms, cilantro and protein and sautee for about 5-6 minutes
when the veggies etc are tender simply pour the egg mixture into the skillet and set the heat on low, cook on low for about 8 minutes
Once it's been on the stovetop for 8 minutes, go ahead and place the skillet into the oven (this is why you want an oven proof skillet so nothing with a rubber handle etc), Cook the frittata for about 15 minutes in the oven at 425
Serve hot!

We no longer have that sluggish feeling a person would have after eating too many carbs or something heavy like a pasta dish or bread. I am losing weight along with the help of My AMAZING tool, ACE!!! I can't get by without the energy it gives me due to our crazy schedule and I'm not one who would drink a cup of coffee each day. I don't drink caffeine at all except for the occasional Skinny Frappe I made! I digress, even living Paleo, sometimes you just want a treat! Something sinful or at least appears to be sinful! I love tapioca pudding. Of course I wouldn't eat it now but in my quest to find a delish sinful treat, along came CHIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT SWELLS like Tapioca would. The possibilities of this recipe are endless! ENDLESS. I am going to post a basic recipe. YOU decide what you want to add to it such as cocoa powder to make a chocolate version, Some lemon for a zing, perhaps raspberry for a sweeter delight. The world is yours! Personally, I prefer, vanilla with coconut flakes and banana. So delish! I could eat a bucket of It!!
Ingredients: 2 cups Unsweetened coconut milk (you can use whatever unsweetened soy milk or almond milk if you wish).½ cup white chia seeds 3 tbs of your fav sweetener. Whether you use stevia or honey, agave or maple syrup. 2 tsp pure vanilla extractDirections: - Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir well. (now this is where you would add all the other ingredients you want IN the pudding such as cocoa etc)
- Stir every 10 minutes or so until the chia seeds start to thicken.
- When the chia seeds are floating around evenly, refrigerate for a few hours in your individual serving dishes, I personally chill over night
- Top with fresh fruit, coconut flakes even make a nice whipped cream using coconut milk!
- EAT

Check out this amazing inspiration video here! Download your FREE QR Code reader today! My recommendation is REDLASER it's free and you can price shop with it!! www.facebook.com/thepatrioticpeacock.com Pumpkin Pancakes HOLLA!! Gluten free and paleo yes indeedy! my daughter is the worlds MOST picky eater. No joke, she can live on a single goldfish all day. I have been struggling to find things that she will eat that are great for her and this recipe really just hit it out of the park!
I made her little bite size pancakes OR as she calls them, little tiny ninja turtle pizza shaped pancakes. Yes we are at the ninja turtle phase in our home. She is such a little tomboy but lord so prissy at the same time. Best of both world's I guess lol!
So here is my Paleo Gluten free Pancake recipe. To make the tiny bite size pancakes, I took the batter and poured it into one of these. You can find them at Target in the housewares section for around $2.50. They are amazing for so many things. We use a little food color at the holidays and make shapes with colors for pancakes!
So for the ingredients in your amazing gluten free paleo pumpkin pancakes you need the following. 3/4 cup coconut flour 1/4 cup almond meal 1/2 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup pumpkin puree 2 eggs 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted or melted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons sucanat or pure cane sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon all spice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/16 teaspoon clovesOR you can cheat and use pumpkin pie spice lol!
Next you want to:
- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well
mixed. - In another bowl whisk the eggs, milk, pumpkin, and vanilla until
combined. - Whisk in the melted coconut oil and pour into the dry ingredients.
- Stir until just combined. Avoid over stirring.
- Let sit 5 minutes. The batter should be pourable but not
runny.
- either pour it into a condiment bottle or simple ladle it onto a hot griddle. The griddle should be set to 350 degress with some melted coconut oil or butter on the griddle. I personally used a skillet on my stove so have your fire/temp set to medium.
- Put the batter on and when it starts to bubble through the top, then it's time to flip!! just a few minutes max each side depending on size. I made well over 100 of these little guys today! She loves them, they have amazing flavor and are perfect for the impending fall season coming.

This can be you!! The question isn't WHY? it's WHY NOT? Just do it, try it don't miss out! www.patrioticpeacock.com or www.facebook.com/thepatrioticpeacock I personally have made these quite a few times over the years, sometimes I use ground beef, sometimes I make ground sausage. Easy to make in advance and just reheat if needed. A Scotch egg is a great high protein breakfast or even pre-workout snack!!
Simple, cheap and VERY filling
1lb Lean Ground Beef 4 Eggs Basil, other green seasonings Salt and pepper for taste Coconut oil for frying Almond meal & egg for coating (optional) For the scotch eggs: Preheat oven to 350F & heat coconut oil in frying pan (enough oil to for frying). 1. Boil eggs (hardboiled eggs can take ~ 10-12 mins boiling) – shell and set aside. 2. Mix minced beef with seasonings of choice (I used salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and finely ground basil). 3. Take portions of this seasoned minced beef and flatten. Mold the meat onto the boiled egg so as to make a coating to to surround each – roll them in your hands to maintain the round & even meat coating on the eggs. **Optional (but will keep meat together better): coat each scotch egg with beaten egg & roll in almond flour / meal until evenly coated. 4. Place scotch eggs in heated coconut oil in frying pan – fry until golden brown. 6. Remove from pan and place scotch eggs on baking tray and place in oven for ~ 10 – 12 mins

JOIN TODAY (NO PURCHASE REQUIRED just good ole support and fun) https://www.facebook.com/groups/FitandFabulACE/ Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chickenn breasts salt and fresh ground black pepper for seasoning chicken 1/2 cup basil pesto (I used my homemade Basil Pesto with Lemon, but you can use purchased pesto.) 2 oz. (1/2 cup) grated low-fat mozzarella cheese (I personally Omit the cheese because I avoid dairy) Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken pieces, then cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. (I cut the larger ones into 3 strips and the smaller ones into 2 strips.) Spray a 9" x 12" (or 8.5" X 12.5") baking dish with non-stick spray, then spread 1/4 cup basil pesto over the bottom of the dish. Lay chicken strips over the pesto, then spread 1/4 cup more basil pesto over the chicken. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (or use a baking dish with a tight-fitting lid) and bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, just until chicken is barely firm and cooked through. (Don't cook too much at this point, or the chicken will be overcooked by the time the cheese is melted and browned.) When chicken is barely cooked through, remove foil and sprinkle chicken with 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese. Put dish back into the oven without foil and cook 5 minutes more, just until cheese is melted. (If your broiler is separate from the oven, start preheating it when you take the chicken out.) After I melted the cheese for 5 minutes I switched my oven to broil and broiled for 5 minutes more, just long enough to get the cheese lightly browned. Serve hot. There will be some flavorful juice in the bottom of the dish when this is done, so you may want to serve with rice, couscous, or quinoa to soak up the juice, but if you're eating this for phase one, just spoon the juice over the chicken. ~~~~MANDY
