Paleo Breakfast Bake

The morning of the hike in Yosemite my sister, cousin, and I woke up at 1:30 am (yes, we actually did sleep a few hours before we left to hike that early), left her house at 2:00 am, and got to the trail head and were hiking at 4:40 am. After hiking all day we finished our hike at about 3:30 pm, grabbed food and got back to my cousin’s house after 9:00 pm.

That was a FULL day of life. Needless to say, we were exhausted and I proceeded to pass out the second my head hit that pillow.

I wake up early anyway, no matter what, all the time, and the next morning I rose at 6:30 am. Slightly rested, pretty thirsty, slightly hungry, and feining coffee, I made my way into the kitchen. After approximately 30 minutes of trying to figure out her coffee machine (stupid fancy kitchen equipment) I had a steaming up ‘O Joe in my hands and the perfect after-hike recipe to make for breakfast.

That is how my morning proceeded and after another hour, breakfast was mine. Protein-rich, flavorful, Paleo breakfast for replenishing a body after a long day and short night [sleep].

And this recipe would not have been my fate if it wasn’t for my new and awesome friend (remember that guy with the rad bacon shirt?!) posting this recipe on his blog! He’s got some great ones, if you’re interested in good food. But of course you are, you’re here, aren’t you?

 

Couldn’t be any easier, could it? Well, except you do have to chop a few things… and figure out how to work those all-in-one grind and roast coffee makers. Ug, not a fan.

How do you refuel after some intense exercise?
Coffee fans? Any embarrassing stories about not succeeding in making coffee? Seriously, how did I live all these years and still not be able to successfully conquer a machine?!

    Looks tasty. I approve of this recipe.

    Post-exercise refueling for me is usually a full meal. I used to do protein shakes but nowadays I like to eat real food as much as possible.

    I’m horrible at making coffee. Probably the one food-related item I can’t make. I don’t drink a ton of it, but I like the routine of having a cup or two in the morning. So, we recently got a Keurig and that solved all of my coffee making problems.

    I forgot to tell you I made your egg muffin cup thingies last week! They are super good, I used artichokes, sund-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, and spinach. I froze some, but haven’t tried them yet….

    I would have crashed hard after that hike.

    coffee fanatic! i drink it black now that i’ve cut out most artificial/added sugar so now i’m a super snob about coffee quality – you can really taste a difference when the flavor’s not masked by chemicals! :)
    post exercise, i keep it simple. carbs & protein. if i’m at home: kabocha & greek yogurt/protein smoothie. at work: oats & greek yogurt/ eggs. :)

    yum yum, I still have a hard time figure out certain coffee makers. I am not sure why they make things so difficult sometimes!! After a long day of exercise we typically enjoy a smoothie and followed by snacks all day long. And later a salad or something and dessert. haha It really varies from day to day, all depends what is on hand!
