Hits and Misses
I must admit I have tried a lot of eggs bakes. This recipe I was able to save in ReciMe and I am so glad that I did. It was delicious. At the last minute I added some arugula that was not worthy of a salad. The rest of the recipe I prepared as written. The next time I will add more arugula or spinach and less cheese. We don’t need all of that cheese. This has now been added as one of my very top egg bakes. I who normally skip breakfast enjoyed this several mornings with avocado and salsa. Yum! Company worthy as well.
I always have a variety of veggies as well as hummus and avocados so assembling them on toasted Ezekiel bread if a no brainer for lunch.
This soup has been an inexpensive flavorful staple ever since I purchased the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook. It services lunches for days, but we never get tired of it. A dab of Greek yogurt adds extra protein.

I was a little uncertain about this recipe. But on the other hand I am looking for recipes high in protein. This claims 58 g per serving. Since we love Marry Me Chicken and Marry Me Meatballs I decided to give it a try. Although it was not my favorite pasta, it was very good. Plus considering it was low in carbs and high in protein, it allowed us to enjoy pasta in a healthier way.
Marry Me Chicken Pasta *New Recipe
This is a favorite salmon recipe that I haven’t prepared for some time. Once again it was highly enjoyable.
I had to decide between 2 different quinoa recipes and since I had book club on Monday evening, I opted for the easiest recipe. We have had this in the past and adding a salad makes a great meal. We adding Greek yogurt, cilantro and avocado as toppings.
Recap
Last week had a lot of unexpected moving parts, but we did have great meals, many of which were quick and easy to prepare. We are adding more protein to each meal and attempting to do the same if we snack.(which is seldom). I have several new goals, one of which is to read one health related article each day, especially if it applies to nutrition. The adventure continues…Bon Appetit.
