The Friday 5

Image
Fri-yay! Who else is ready for the weekend? It’s been a jam-packed week of work, so I’m definitely looking forward to some R&R this weekend. We’re keeping things low-key for Mother’s Day, but I’m looking forward to it. We’re either doing pancakes in bed or visiting one of our favorite breakfast spots. It all depends if I’m able to sleep in! ๐Ÿ™‚ This week’s Friday 5 was a random mix of good stuff from kid games to wild salmon, bras, and podcasts. How’s that for variety! Let me know what you’re loving this week: a new safer skincare find, a delicious macro-friendly meal, a sweaty workout. Please share in the comments below. I hope you have an amazing weekend, and Happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow moms! 1. Simple Science Projects – This has been so fun for Quinn! (And who I am kidding, for me and Mal too!)

The “Big Meat” Burger (and a Giveaway)

Image
We’re calling this bad boy the “Big Meat” Burger not just because it’s a half pound of thick, juicy beef (although that’s plenty of reason). With two beef patties, two cheese slices, pickles, shredded lettuce and our own “special sauce”—a.k.a. Primal Kitchen® Thousand Island Dressing, you might just be thinking of another “Big M–” burger now. (Wink.) While we might be channeling some Big Memories here, fast food’s got nothing on this Primal Giant. With omega-3 rich grass-fed beef, aged cheddar, healthy monounsaturated fat based Primal Kitchen dressing, and a low-carb, grain-free Unbun, you’ll enjoy all the savory goodness you remember…with none of the guilt. And don’t forget to enter the giveaway (details below) for an amazing package of Primal Kitchen and Unbun goodies. Servings: 2 Time In the Kitchen: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 lb. grass-fed beef 1 tsp. sea salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 4 slices cheddar cheese 2/3 cup chopped lettuce 6 pickle slices 4 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen

Mini Egg Pies with Pepper Jack and Peppers

Image
These mini egg pies are SO simple (just four ingredients!) and pretty for spring brunches, parties, and quick and easy breakfast and snacks during the week.  My dietetic intern, Emily, and I were talking about the nutritional value of eggs (spoiler alert: we think they’re nutrition superstars!) and she told me about these little egg pies she made over the weekend. So naturally the following week we made them into a blog post! Notes + Nutrition Our four-ingredient recipe resembles a mini quiche, with a flaky crust and egg filling but in a perfectly bite-sized portion. They are not a pop in your mouth type of small, but they are small enough to call them a snack. Three bites, max! You can store them in a tupperware in the fridge for a few days. Note you’ll want to reheat them in a toaster oven so the crust stays crunchy. We found this refrigerated pie crust at Whole Foods, but use any kind you like. To cut out perfect circles, use a large mason jar lid! Very gently place the cru
