I’m a big fan of meal planning- it saves money, time and energy.

But.

I don’t always WANT what I’ve planned. I’m sure you’ve  been there…you  have all the ingredients, it’s what you planned, you don’t really want to have to think about it…..

But it’s just not what you’re wanting. What to do?

Food should be fun, satisfying. It should be a problem or something that makes you feel guilty. So while the bulk of what I eat is grain, dairy, and legume free, I don’t consider that to be a hard and fast rule. Although I plan my meals, I don’t consider that list permanent either.

Earlier this week, I just didn’t feel like having what I’d planned for lunch. No biggie. One of the advantages of having done a decent amount of food prep on Sunday and Monday is that I have options during the rest of the week! Since hard boiled eggs are a staple around my house, this egg salad sandwich was an easy one.

2 hard boiled eggs

1 tbsp homemade zesty yogurt dressing

1-2 tbsp finely diced red onion

small handful of cherub, cherry, or grape tomatoes, halved or quatered based on preference

sprinkle of parsley

salt and pepper

dash of garlic powder

1 slice of bread of choice

method

  1. peel eggs, and mash in a small bowl.
  2. add dressing, salt, pepper, parsley and garlic powder and mix well.
  3. add tomatoes and red onion, mixing just enough to evenly distribute.
  4. lay bread on a plate and top with egg mixture.

Simple, creamy, and satisfying, this is a fabulous and protein packed lunch. It must have looked good because my four year old kept stealing bites!
