Baked Eggs with Spinach and Bacon

What a perfect breakfast. Protein from the bacon and egg, fiber from the spinach and complex carbohydrates from the whole wheat English muffin. This breakfast will keep you satisfied all morning long. I decided I wanted to try something new for the new year and I saw this recipe on Epicurious and thought it totally fit the bill. I have never baked eggs before and I really liked the way it turned out.

I am so happy that the holidays are over. Don't get me wrong - I love the holidays. But there is something really nice about settling back into your routine. I love all the cookies, pies and holiday drinks, but unfortunately, they don't love me.
