13 Healthy Egg Recipes For Every Meal of the Day
For years, I ate an egg or two at breakfast almost every day. A few months ago, I started drinking Shakeology in the morning instead, and while I like it, I also found myself really missing those eggs.
I still bought them at the market out of habit, but then they’d just sit there in my fridge.
I didn’t want to waste them, so I started adding them to other meals: adding hard-boiled ones to salads, scrambling a few up for burritos, cracking them onto pizza before popping the pie in the oven.
It changed the way I think of eggs. They really aren’t just for breakfast.
Here are 13 recipes to help you enjoy eggs for any meal of the day, including dessert!
