Notice all the coffee, soda pop, and candy (aptly provided through the means of discounted Halloween candy sales and Trick r Treaters who didn’t nab it all) on the table between my Nano-mates. Yesterday was just the beginning. 1-6-6-7 words or more everyday this month. The energy is high right now…but the snacks and goodies will be especially required about mid-way through the month.

GO Nano!

*I came across a really neat TIP today that I think will help me out quite a bit this month. Remember, I’ve never participated before so all of this is new to me. 🙂 I’m going to really adhere to this idea! What a great tip. Lani and Alastair from StoryWonk are going to be a great help to me this month, no doubt.  http://storywonk.com/

Lani Diane Rich from the “Storywonk” website and podcast Tweeted this message:

(Writing) Sprints are a fantastic way of grinding out words. You can do anything for 20 minutes! And they add up! #SWNano #NaNoWriMo.

Easy Peasy Egg “muffins” in the Oven #Recipe

I can’t take credit for this idea – it came from a Facebook post from a fellow that I follow. But I tried making these this morning and they came out pretty great. I think this will be something that I try a lot more, especially with my busy weekly schedule!

Here's how mine came out.

Here’s how mine came out.

I added deli sliced ham and spinach with pepper.

 

Check out the link for details:

Just incase the link doesn’t work or ends up disabled at a later date: here’s the basics on how to cook these up:

Directions

1. Spray your muffin pan with some non-stick cooking spray.
2. Throw in Spinach if desired (The spinach sticks right to the cooking spray. No floating!)
3. Crack one egg into each well.
4. Sprinkle the eggs with a little salt & pepper or whatever seasonings that you’d like.
5. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.

**You could really add anything you want to. Mushrooms, other deli meat, onions, etc. I’m betting you can add more than 1 egg also, if your cupcake tin is high enough. Look at how small a space mine ended up taking up in the pan.

Try it out and see what you think! Enjoy!
