High Protein Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

High Protein Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

One thing I am passionate about, as much as I am traveling, is eating healthy. I often meal prep on the weekends to help me stay on track with a healthy lifestyle during the week.

Recently, I developed the recipe for these Cottage Cheese Egg Bites, which are also high in protein!

Who doesn’t love crispy skin chicken roasted with lots of flavor and moist & juicy?!

Growing up, Sunday lunch was always a big meal! It usually consisted of roast & potatoes or a baked chicken. In our house now, Sunday nights are typically a bigger meal! We frequently have our roast or chicken then! I also grew up with my dad and brother raising broiler chickens for butchering. Thankfully, my dad continues to this day! We always have a couple in the freezer. T’s favorite way to have this poultry is for it to have crispy skin!

Weekends & Breakfast

I love weekends because I usually don’t have to set my alarm clock! I love weekends because I get to drink coffee out of my favorite mug! I also love weekends because I get to lounge around for at least an hour in my sweats with said coffee mug! But, most of all, I I love weekends because I get to actually make breakfasts! No grabbing something on the go on the way to work on weekends!

Gluten-Free Baking

I was diagnosed with a gluten allergy about a year ago! After undergoing several months of lab work, testing, and procedures, the allergy was finally found after I started breaking out in total body rashes!

When I can’t travel, I bake & cook. When I bake & cook, I eat things that aren’t healthy for me. Thankfully, these Shrimp & Rice Veggie Bowls are not unhealthy for me and I’m currently obsessed with them, so I thought I’d share them with you!

I’ve always enjoyed cooking. My mom had me in the kitchen with her at a very young age helping her and working alongside her. She also empowered my brother and I to cook for ourselves (safely of course) at a young age as well as to enjoy food, try new things, and explore different flavors.
