Paleo Egg Muffins

Mark Sisson has a recipe for egg muffins in his “Primal Blueprint Cookbook.” Tonight I decided to try the recipe because my grandsons are coming to visit on the weekend and I thought they might like them. But the boys are vegetarians, so I bought some “Mexican-seasoned fake ground round” to use in place of the…

Making Bone Broth in a Slow Cooker or Crockpot
