Sausage Breakfast Muffins
"My diabetic husband hates eating breakfast when he is pressed for time. Of course this would usually mean a quick trip to McDonald's for a greasy, unhealthy meal on the way. I like to make these for him so he can eat them in the car on his way to work. I found this tasty recipe in Taste of Home and tweaked it a little to suit our tastes. With sausage, corn bread and eggs, they have everything you would want in a breakfast. To make it even quicker, I like to freeze 2 muffins in a sandwich baggie, then place all baggies in a gallon freezer bag to freeze. When needed, all I do is pop 2 frozen muffins in the microwave for 1 minute. Along with a cup of coffee, he's all set for an on-the-go breakfast with no time to waste."

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
