Better Than Starbucks Egg Bites

You know them and if you’ve ever looked for a quick, high protein breakfast to have with your morning coffee then you’ve probably ordered them. The Egg Bites at Starbucks.  I’ll admit, they are pretty delish although a bit pricey and truthfully, not the healthiest choice on their menu.  I’ve made dozens of mini, crustlessContinue reading “Better Than Starbucks Egg Bites”
