DIY Deer on Reclaimed Wood

I know I usually post about food, but I couldn't help but share this super easy DIY project I did. I made this one shown here for my Dad for Christmas, it was perfect since he had recently bought a farm. However this could easily be done for a very inexpensive way to add some wall decor to a room. 

What you need:

  • Reclaimed wood sign- you could make this yourself or order one online, I purchased mine here on one of my favorite sites, Etsy. 

  • Large Deer silhouette- be sure to print this on a thick paper like card stock so it is durable when you cut it out.. I used the best Printer in Nashville, Printers Press! A special thank you to Ali, for making the print perfect! 

  • X acto knife/ utility blade- to cut out the deer 

  • Spray Paint- I used black, but you can use any color you want (an acrylic paint is also an option you can use, you will just need a paint brush too)


  • Tarp or plastic to lay the wood on and spray paint so you do not ruin anything

This is seriously so easy! .. I also tried this on a printed paper and put a fun colored teal deer on it to try something different. It took less then 5 minutes to do once I had the deer cut out. If you want one of these and don't want to make it yourself let me know! The possibilities are endless with this!

You could use both of these if you wanted
on two different pieces.

Egg Breakfast Muffins


People always say, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” whether or not you agree with that statement is not important here.. what is important is this is about one of the easiest breakfast recipes ideas ever!


Breakfast Egg Muffins

This is one of those morning meals that’s high in protein and low in sugar & carbs. An added bonus?!?! They taste AMAZING!!!!! If you’re looking for something healthy, hearty, and quick, this recipe will definitely be right up your alley!! Literally all you have to do after you prep them is reheat and EAT!!!!

I usually make these on a Sunday night and eat them off and on throughout the week {they will last about a week in the fridge}. It is basically fool proof and the mix-ins are endless. It is also a great way to use up any left overs from the week (any veggies or meats sitting in your fridge are perfect for these muffins). So get creative and try these out :)

I recommend getting creative and topping yours with Sriracha, salsa, or avocado for an extra kick!

-Enjoy,
K

P.S. These can be Paleo and are gluten free!

The ingredients I used for these ones pictured here:

***this made 18 muffins***

-(1) package turkey bacon (cut into tiny pieces and sauteed)
2 cups of steamed broccoli
¼ cup goat cheese crumbles
12 eggs
¼ cup milk (optional for a more fluffy texture)
¼ cup greek yogurt cream cheese (this is optional for a more fluffy texture as well)
½ cup chopped yellow onion
Pepper to taste


    Directions:
     (once you have your desired ingredients)

    1. Pre-heat oven to 350*.
    2. Mix eggs and then add all your mix-ins.
    3. Spray muffin tin with coconut oil or desired oil.
    4. Fill muffin tins ¾ full of egg mix.
    5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, should be able to insert a tooth pick into it and pull it out clean.
    6. Remove from muffin tin and let cool, place in tupperware and refrigerate.

Just heat them up in microwave 30 seconds per muffin when ready to eat!
