Fried Egg in an Avocado
Recipe sourced from BurtonGirls

Egg in a hole with a twist. Healthy deliciousness full of energy and protein.

How to:

Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise. Remove the seed.

Cut a tiny portion off each side of the avocado so it will lay flat on both sides. Continue to cut the two holes from the avocado seed so they go completely through. You will end up with 2 pieces about 1" thick. If the hole from the avocado seed is smaller than the egg yoke, increase the diameter of the hole to allow enough room for the egg. Leave the skin in tact.

Heat a small frying pan to medium/high and drizzle with olive oil.

Place the avocado slice, with the skin on, in the pan.

Crack an egg, leaving the yoke in the middle of the avocado’s hole. Allow the egg to cook 2 minutes. Flip the egg/avocado creation, and cook to desired consistency. Repeat steps for each egg.

Remove from heat and serve. Remove the skin of the avocado as you eat. 

Be sure to add your own spice to this recipe. This time I added tomato and feta cheese.

Enjoy.

Whole Wheat Pancakes
My whole life I've been a Bisquick pancake kid. This morning I tried a pancake recipe from scratch that I found on skinnytaste.com. They turned out super fluffy and quite delightful. Sorry I don't have any photos, but it'd be worth checking out. I cut the recipe in half and there were still plenty to go around.

With the weather being in the low 90's this weekend, and not a cloud in the sky, we couldn't help but crave a summer staple for dinner, cheese burgers and corn on the cob.

Nut Balls!

I'd hate to post two recipes back to back, but I can't contain myself any longer. This recipe is life changing. Disregarding the different "marketed" names, I simply refer to this recipe as Nut Balls. They are officially a staple around here and simply the best! They are merely impossible to mess up and are super easy to customize to your liking. If you have a sweet tooth, these are a great alternative. I can's say enough about these delicious, healthy bits!

• • •
2/3 C walnuts
2/3 C almonds
2/3 C rolled oats
1/4 C dark chocolate (or carob chips)
1/4 C agave nectar (or honey)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs creamy peanut butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp sea salt

Place dry ingredients (except chocolate) into the food processor. Pulse until everything is evenly chopped. Add agave nectar, vanilla extract, peanut butter, cinnamon and salt and combine. Once combined, mix in chocolate. Form into balls and freeze until firm. (Keep stored in freezer.)

You can find the original recipe here. These are a must make, unless you are allergic to nuts, then I wouldn't recommend them at all.

Keep me posted if you come up with other delicious concoctions.
