With Easter coming up, it's important to remember that EGGS are the focus of the holiday. (Yes, even more than just coloring them for your baskets!) & let's be honest here- why wouldn't they be? Eggs are DELICIOUS & HEALTHY! If you've heard my on-air spots, I've told you more than once that eggs are ONLY 70 calories with 6 grams of protein. (Trying to get your summer body right? grab an egg!) This is my choice for healthy meals, a quick snack, or just to upgrade a dessert (eggs in pie, hello!)
Check out my snack this week, I've made easy peel (seriously easy to peel) hard boiled eggs!
