On-the-Go Breakfast Muffins

My house is Grand Central Station right now. In the last week we’ve had the roofers, power washers, and painters at our house – sometimes overlapping.

My windows are covered in plastic and my backyard is in disarray. They’re constantly knocking on the door asking questions that usually only my husband knows (he’s in class getting his Master’s).

It’s a full time job making sure that everyone is appropriately dressed (including myself) when they knock at the door.

And I’m pretty sure they think I’m running a daycare. I think they would be very surprised to find out that most of the kids running in the house are mine and the others are permanent fixture purely for the accessible baked goods.

Oh, and they just started painting and painted the whole back wall…the WRONG COLOR. Not a little off. Like way off. Instead of Sensational Sand they painted it Hunter Green. Big oops.

So it looks like the craziness will continue into this week. Which is why I’m making my life easier by making some of these breakfast muffins ahead of time. Just think of muffins with scrambled eggs inside along with sausage and cheese. Pop them in the microwave for a quick on-the-go breakfast. Yum.
