Egg Muffins with Sausage, Spinach and Cheese

Hello Residents!  I'm sure you read this everywhere you go these days, BUT I'm over the snow!  LOL  I'm cold, I'm cranky and I'm lazy, and it is all mother nature's fault.  It's funny because looking outside it is amazingly beautiful but then going out in the cold that seems to bite at your bones, yeesh.  LOL.  Ok, on the kitchen and another breakfast from me!  There must be a million different variations of these type of muffins out there but sometimes we don't think about easy yummy versions of the same thing.  Hope this one is new for you.  Simple to throw together on a Sunday and have ready to grab during the week.!  Stay warm.  And whiten those jackets while you're stuck in the house!  See you Saturday!
