I love these Egg Muffins for several reasons. They taste yummy, they are easy to make, they are so versatile you can make them with anything, they store well, and they are made with WONDERFUL eggs!!! My idea of cooking is what feels right for the mood you are in. So, most of the ingredients are not measured and a lot of them are optional or can be exchanged for something else. Spices are a matter of taste. There should never be a "one size fits all" mindset when it comes to cooking for your individual family, you do what works for you.
