These cute little bites are ideal for families on the go, for your Sunday breakfast or if you want to have an easy protein bites for busy weekday mornings.

Now, Popeye is getting all ingredients.

“That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more.” ― Popeye said to me all of sudden.Oh, Popeye – I try in my best Olive Oyl voice.
“Where is the entrance to the exit” – Popeye ignores my flirting voice. I am ready to exit this virtual reality.
Oh, but I am all about family – I try again. I really need your help.
At that point Olive Oyl flies into my kitchen and yells at me: “Leave my man alone, you food whore!
You keep your hands to you, that’s what your are!”

My feeling got hurt and I answered to them using their quote:
“I think family is more important than dumb morality ”
But as they exiting my home, Popeye turns toward me and say:

“I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam. ”

Also, don’t forget to print the recipe below and make what Popeye suggested.
