Recipe number three is here! If you hard boil eggs as your protein prep, I want to provide you with 5 different ways to use them. So far, we’ve done Avocado Deviled Eggs, and a Veggie Noodle Ramen Jar. I love the simple ideas that I can use in a pinch, and this is one of my favorites: stacking a bunch of fresh ingredients on top of one another, adding a sprinkle of sea salt, and sitting down with a knife and fork and having a nourishing meal when it’s just me. Most of us need individual meal ideas, right?
So this is toasted ham layered onto thick slices of vine-ripe tomato, slathered with a dijon sauce, and topped with egg and avocado. It’s amazing! I know, it is so simple it doesn’t need a recipe….but I wrote one anyway. lol…
Toast the ham slices for just a few minutes…or…maybe…until the ones on the right are crispy. We’ll pretend they’re supposed to be that way, right?
The delicious sauce is made from plain Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon, a squirt of dijon, a sprinkle sea salt, and a pinch of cayenne.
Please don’t forget the cayenne! It really drives the sauce home…
And get ready to stack!
They are amazing topped with a little fresh dill, too…
Don’t forget to tag me if you make it! I would love to hear from you on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat (whew! Let’s hope they don’t create any more social). And remember…protein prep gives you superpowers. What you do with them…is up to you. Go be a great mom-dad-friend-sibling-encourager this week!
Enjoy!

I have to lose weight, about 30 pounds so I can have my knees replaced. I have been using some of your recipes and they are great .I am having muffin tin meatloaf for dinner and a salad, Thank you for the great recipes. You are a great support thanks.
Jim, I am so happy to hear that you are on a journey to make your health better! Yes, losing that weight will dramatically help you in maybe more ways than you can even imagine. After you lose that 30 pounds, make it a regular habit to pick up 2 15-pound weights and walk around a bit that way you can recall what it was like to have on that extra weight – it’s a good reminder of where we came from. (Some of my patients would do this with 50 pound bags of salt at the hardware store after they lost their first 50 pounds. It was a way to remember, be grateful, and celebrate that loss!) It’s my pleasure to support you!
