Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

We have a thing for hard-boiled eggs around our house lately. The kids love them, and I do too. For breakfast, I like to have two eggs every morning. I've finally realized what a great source of protein they are, and they keep me fuller than anything else (i.e. cereal). The only problem is that some mornings just don't allow me to fry up a couple eggs and that's where the boiled eggs enter. They are easy for me to prep before hand, peel, and keep in the refrigerator for a quick snack, breakfast, or even lunch. Though my kids weren't sure of this, I loved it and it was super filling and healthy!

Wedge Salad with Cilantro Dressing


I don't know about you but I ate one too many treats during the Superbowl. I was probably eating my feelings...poor Broncos. But I'm ready to get back on track with healthy eating!

A quick meal doesn't always mean you need to pick up fast food and a healthy meal doesn't mean it takes 1 hour to prep. A simple wedge salad is always a good option to turn to. It's low in calories and you can load it up with whatever you want! We love having these staple ingredients in our house to turn to for an easy meal or snack!
