Squash Egg Muffins

October 21, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

We are celebrating another Meatless Mondays from A-Z milestone today! 52 weeks of MMAZ means we’ve tackled an entire year’s worth of weekly meatless recipe challenges. I’m excited we’ve made it this far and hope you’ll join me for many more letters in the future!

To celebrate, today I’m sharing another version of the deliciously simply egg muffins that I started making a few months ago. Although today’s variety was inspired by Kait’s Savory Egg Cups that she shared as part of last week’s MMAZ challenge. Did you catch her guest post on the balancing fitness & life series on Friday?

I love the addition of mustard in the egg cups, it’s the perfect touch of spice for this breakfast dish. And since I already had some pre-roasted squash in the kitchen, I decided to make this version filled to the brim with the Kuri variety. I think this would also taste delicious with kabocha, butternut, or acorn squash. Use what’s local & in season near you.

I’m can’t wait to enjoy some of these as a snack tomorrow. The almond milk really adds volume to the mix and I can eat 5 (the size you see pictured) for one of my mini-meals! These really are great for volume eaters.

Questions for  you:

  • Have you tried any new squash varieties recently? This was my first Kuri squash!

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
