THIS WEEK’S DISH
This one has been in my rotation forever and I'm so excited for you guys to try these Southwest-spiced egg muffins loaded with chicken sausage, veggies, manchego, and a ton of protein. It only takes like 5 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake a batch on Sunday and breakfast is done for the entire week. I usually pair them with avocado toast or throw a couple into a tortilla with avocado to switch it up. Pro tip: use a silicone muffin tray so the eggs pop right out - this one works great. They also freeze really well so you can have breakfast covered for months. There's literally nothing better than having breakfast ready to go on a busy morning.
Grab & Go Southwest Egg Muffins
Makes 12
Ingredients
6 large eggs
1 cup egg whites (or 6 egg whites)
1 tbsp taco seasoning
3-4 breakfast chicken sausage links, diced (we like Amylu!)
½ cup shredded manchego cheese
1 small zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
½ small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
½ cup tomato, diced
Avocado oil spray
Instructions
Whisk the base: In a bowl or large measuring cup, crack in eggs and egg whites. Add taco seasoning and whisk until frothy.
Assemble: Spray a muffin tin with avocado oil (silicone works best!). Evenly distribute the sausage and veggies between the 12 muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over, filling to the top. Top with manchego.
Bake: 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until centers are just set.
Storage: 5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Reheat in microwave or air fryer (325°F, 4–5 min).
WHAT’S NEW
We just booked our six-month checkup with Function Health, and I'm actually so excited to see how things have changed. Fun fact, I’m 32, but my biological age came back at 22.9 and Ashish actually beat me at 21.8, even though he's two years older than me. We found out that we have some overlap in the foods that are great for us, but we also have foods that our bodies need that are totally different. For me specifically, the hormone panel was really eye-opening — it helped me figure out what was off and what I needed to adjust to get my cycle back on track. It's honestly changed how we grocery shop and what we eat day-to-day, and having meals prepped ahead of time makes it so much easier to actually stick with the foods that are good for us.

IF YOU MISSED IT
Last week's tiramisu chia pudding was my go-to breakfast all week — it tastes like tiramisu, is packed with protein, and only takes five minutes to prep the night before. If you're a coffee lover, this one's definitely for you.
Until next time, happy cooking!!
