Best Eggs EVER!

Seriously...you'll never make scrambled eggs the same way again. 
When you try out the recipe, you'll experience just how fluffy, creamy, and flavorful these eggs are, and it will forever change the way you prepare your eggs. 

One simple addition is the secret to these awesome eggs. High protein, low carb, tons of flavor. 

Best Eggs EVER!

2 whole eggs (I used Extra Large)
1/2 C low-fat cottage cheese
2 Tbs dice green chile (optional...can replace with diced green onion, pico de gallo, and/or salsa) 
Salt & Pepper, to taste

1. Preheat non-stick skillet on Low heat. 
2. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Add to heated skillet. 
3. Stir often, remaining on Low heat, for 5 minutes, or until eggs set and cottage cheese starts to soften. 
Serve warm. 

Yields 1 serving. 

Step 2 (above). 

Step 3.


These eggs cook up light, fluffy, and creamy. 

They were lonely. I decided to serve them with 2 slices of whole grain toast. 

Here's the numbers:

Honey Dijon Baked Chicken recipe



Honey Dijon Baked Chicken

4 lbs chicken thighs, boneless & skinless
1/2 C dijon mustard
1/2 C honey
2 tsp fresh thyme
2 Tbs warm water
Salt & Pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. And a small mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, thyme, water, and salt and pepper. 
3. Put chicken thighs in a 9" x 13" baking dish. Pour mixture over thighs, and toss to thoroughly coat. 
4. Bake thighs at 400° for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Yields 8 (4-oz) servings. 


How easy is this!?! I love making a healthy, tasty meal that's easy, too. 


Maybe this is where the term "awesome sauce" originated. The chicken is ready to be baked. The family couldn't wait to get to chow down. 


The finished dish. 
I wanted to increase the protein even more, so I served the chicken along side a serving of BirdsEye Protein Blend. 
Perfect pairing.
