Egg White Muffins

So, this is NOT our own original recipe, but since several followers have asked for more breakfast ideas, I'm going to share one of our favorites.  This recipe and accompanying information comes directly from the link at the bottom of this post off KSHB.com.  Chef Courtney shared these on KC Live last summer.  If you're interested in more of her recipes, she has a cookbook called The Six Pack Kitchen.  It is available for $20 on her website http://www.thesixpackkitchen.com

"The folks at Kansas City Fitness Magazine know the importance of a healthy breakfast. Courtney Busby is the chef for the KC Weight Loss Program, and she created these easy-to-make Egg White Muffins. They're not only nutritious and delicious, but a perfect way to start your day with protein.
