Having hard-boiled eggs prepped in the fridge allows me to eat during my busy days. It’s easy to make once you get the hang of it and great to throw on avocado toast, on top of a salad or seasoned with salt & pepper. Shout-out to my mom for coaching me over the phone throughout this one … twice.

Ingredients:

1. Eggs
2. Ice cubes

Directions:

1. Fill a bowl with ice water.
2. Place 5-6 eggs in medium pot. Cover eggs with cold water. Bring to a boil. 
   
3. When water starts to boil, set a timer for 5 minutes. Turn off stove and place eggs in ice water. Let sit for 5 minutes. Crack and peel eggs.
4. Enjoy now or store for later!

• Pasta
• Chicken
• Spinach
• Mushrooms

Directions:

This easy  BLT makes for the perfect light lunch!

Ingredients:

• 2-4 slices of bacon/turkey bacon
• 2 slices of bread
• Half of an avocado
• Tomatoes

Directions:

1. Toast bread. While bread is toasting, line a plate with a paper towel, place bacon on plate and cover with another paper towel. (I microwaved my turkey bacon for 70 seconds and it came out pretty crispy).

Pancakes are great, but healthy pancakes are even better—especially when there’s only two ingredients needed for the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1 banana

Directions:

1. Crack eggs in bowl, break up banana in the same bowl, and mash with a fork.
2.  Pour mix into a medium sized pan on a medium heat. Flip after a few minutes or when the bottom is lightly browned.
   
   

   

3. Once both sides are browned, the pancakes are done!
