Salve Regina

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

RECIPES FROM RITA: GRAB & GO HIGH PROTEIN EGG MUFFINS

Prep time is about 5 minutes once you have everything measured out.
These are from a listener who says these make great “grab & go” breakfast muffins for the kids. (OR YOU!)
Makes about 6 egg muffins. Recipe doubles easily.
Now except for the eggs, feel free to do your own thing with add-ins. I like to add a few chopped green onions.
If you do add fresh spinach, cook it a bit, then drain to remove excess water.
If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain very well.

Ingredients
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
Crumbled cooked bacon, ham, chorizo, sausage – whatever you like — about 1/2 cup or so
Shredded cheese – a good 1/2 cup or so
Handful spinach, chopped (see note above) – optional
Parsley – optional but gives nice color

Instructions
First, spray nonstick muffin cups (yes, even nonstick cups tend to have egg stick in them after baking) or line muffin cups with paper liners and spray those, too.
Preheat oven to 375.
Whisk eggs and seasonings together.
Add meat, cheese and spinach. Whisk well.
Pour evenly into muffin cups.
Bake 15-18 minutes until eggs are set.

Note: after they cool, the egg muffins will deflate. That’s normal.
Refrigerate, covered, up to 4 days. Reheat in microwave.
Freeze and reheat in microwave.
