Tomato & Bacon Muffins (21DSD, Paleo & SCD)

Are you someone who goes through phases?  I think most of us can relate to the gym phase, the running phase (still going with that one) or the craft phase.  (I really must finish that 40th birthday quilt!)
After being on the 21 Day Sugar Detox for a couple of weeks now, I realise I've been in a sweets phase my whole life!  When I baked as a teenager the only savory thing we made was pizza.  I'm really not a savory person.  I actually envy those people who really prefer savory over sweet; they don't seem to be as addicted as us sweets lovers.  :)
This detox has been good for me to focus on savory rather than sweet.  I'm enjoying trying new meals for dinner and my kids were so excited to hear I was making savory muffins!  (Guilty mother moment - I don't think I've EVER made them savory muffins before!  Poor kids.  :)
