scrambled egg muffins

another jessica seinfeld recipe from her doubly delicious cookbook! this one is perfect for early morning car rides or a quick bite of lunch while we're out & about, with lots of protein & little mess. i make these the night before a busy day.  i like knowing that i don't have to sacrifice our healthy lifestyle for our busy one.  it's all in the organization! {which doesn't always happen but there is always grace!} i also like that these are called 'muffins'.  for some reason they'll eat anything shaped like a muffin.  these go down super easy with the kidlets.
