Egg Muffins

I wanted to try out my new silicone baking cups I got for Christmas, so I found this recipe for Egg Muffins here at Kalyn's Kitchen. They are a great breakfast that you can take on the go, and are very healthy (I think they even work on the south beach diet). You can mix and match meat and veggies to come up with your favorite combination!

Blueberry Barbeque Salmon

I know I have been a bit MIA since the Holidays, but I'm ready to step it back up. A couple years ago we got this recipe from one of Bill’s Men’s Health Magazines and loved it, but I lost the recipe until recently when Bill found it online. It is still as good and easy as I remembered!

Directions:
1. Set the oven to broil

2. In a small bowl, stir together the jam and sauce until well blended.

3. Coat a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the salmon on it, sprinkle on salt and pepper, then spoon 2/3 of the sauce over the fillets.

4. Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish flakes. Spoon the remaining sauce over the fillets before serving.
