Eggs for the week

Aside from not knowing what to cook when maintaining a "paleo" lifestyle, the other thing I hear people say is its hard when to eat well when at work or on the go.  Also not being prepared for the day makes it easy to fall off the wagon.  This recipe is designed for a big family breakfast or to make ahead of time to munch on the rest of the week.  It is a "breakfast" dish, but I'll eat about anything at anytime.  Once again this is one of those recipes where ingredients are up to you and same with measuring.
Egg Bake:
2 dozen eggs
Pork Sausage
Bacon
Mushrooms
Onions
Red Peppers
Spinach
Black Olives

The original intent was to make a pizza or bar type serving style, to make serving easier but it didn't so my advice to to just dump and go it makes it easier. 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown sausage and/or cook bacon to desired crispness.  I would probably cook in the mix but why take the chance and I don't like jiggly raw textured bacon.  Whip eggs in large bowl.  Grease 9X13" pan with bacon grease, olive oil, or coconut oil.  Make sure to get the sides as well or the pan is a bugger to get clean AND it makes serving easier.  Pour egg into greased pan, add all your favorite ingredients. Just drop them into the egg mix.
Place pan in preheated oven and cook until done 30-45min.  When done let cool, cut into serving sizes wrap in plastic or tupperware and regridgerate and/or freeze for later!  Another way to do it is to grease a muffin pan and fill with egg mixture.  When they are done wrap up and enjoy later.  Make good travel sizes if you are head hiking or to work! Just another way to be prepared for the unknown and unknowable!
