EASY Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven

I have been wanting to make hard boiled eggs for a while, but I really hate boiling them because half of them crack during the process, you have to clean the pot afterwards and there is still a chance they didn't turn out right...

So when Zack insisted on egg salad sandwiches this week I thought I would try out the oven method.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees 
2. Place as many eggs as you want in your muffin tray 
3. Put the muffin tray with the eggs in the preheated oven & set timer for 30 minutes
4. After 30 minutes, place eggs in ice cold water (I let mine sit for about 20 minutes while I did laundry)
5. Peel and enjoy!!!

* Depending on your oven the cook times may vary, but 30 min. worked perfectly for me*

Right out of the oven!

These hard boiled eggs can be used to make deviled eggs, egg salad sandwich, or just a quick snack and are PERFECT and READY right after soaking:)

Soak the eggs in ice cold water...even just cold water worked for me...I just kept some cold water running on them for the first five minutes while the temperatures equilibrated. 

Came right off in one peel! No messy pieces of egg shell everywhere!

I hope this helps simplify the messy process of making hard boiled eggs and maybe even saves you the frustration of trying to crack them open!!!

Have an amazing Fall day! I can't believe we are already in November:)

Beautiful Fall Day & A Beautifully Colored Snack

This morning on my way to class at around 7:30 a.m. I thought I would take a picture of the beautiful sky. It always looks so crisp and cold outside after it rains. I just love the smell of wet asphalt! I cannot wait for more rain this season...we keep getting a taste of it here in San Diego, but is asking for a full week of rain too much? I don't think so! Common' weather!

If you look, you can see the little rainbow sneaking its way through the clouds :) 

MMMMMmmmmm... Now for the yummy snack...IT'S POMEGRANATE SEASON! WOOOO!!!

This is a healthy snack especially for when you are craving sweets. Honestly, I have been craving jelly belly's for the past three days now (and no I did not satisfy those cravings, dangit!) BUT I did just eat a delicious pomegranate and I am definitely not craving jelly beans anymore.

Seriously, one of my favorite snacks I get so excited this time of year when they are in season. Pomegranates and Pink Lady Apples, sooooo good!

A trick to getting them all out quickly, this probably took me 3 minutes at most....

Cut the pomegranate in half. Take a wooden spoon and hit one half of the Pomegranate on the outer peel. Make sure a bowl is beneath because most of the seeds will come out this way. For the ones that do not come out, you have loosened them from the peel and they now come out SO EASILY when you start peeling back the pieces, they just fall right into the bowl.  

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FALL/WINTER SNACK?

Have a wonderful & cozy Fall day

Quick,10 Minute Gluten-Free Chicken Bowl Dinner!

1. No food in the house

2. Need to go grocery shopping

3. School

4. Four exams this week

These four things combined were the precursors to tonights lazy meal....

Oh, and Zack decided to go get the extremely healthy Arby's, yeah, we're having a healthy Monday evening if you couldn't tell. Although, this doesn't really matter because we are very healthy eaters as it is and both extremely active...so screw it, tonight we didn't eat the healthiest!

So here is what I did for my quick, grocery-less meal.

• Boil water and put the bagged rice into the water and boil for ten minutes
• While rice is boiling add cut-up chicken breast to skillet pan with unflavored coconut oil (better than using butter in my opinion)
• Add soy-sauce (for me it's gluten free soy sauce-but you can add whichever you have around) to chicken in pan and let simmer on low while the rice is boiling
• While both rice and chicken are cooking, cut up some green onions!
• Pepper the chicken (probably don't need to salt if you used the soy sauce-I didn't salt)
• Once rice is done boiling, strain the bag, add single serving (or however many servings) to a bowl
• Place the cooked chicken on top of the rice and sprinkle the green onions on top!
• Woo! Done in 10 minutes!

This meal is too boring for me just like this and I love my food spicy so I love to add Sriracha Hot Sauce to it and make it kind of like a spicy chicken bowl!

You can get this at any grocery in the culture/speciality aisles usually

Put as much on as you like! I added even more after I took a few bites!

And there you have it....

This is what my dinner looked like tonight, this is me improvising without wanting to spend longer than 10 minutes on dinner when I am busy with other things.

Unlike my husband, I do not have the luxury of running out for a quick bite or fast food (not that I really want to) having Celiac Disease, so this is kind of my fast-food alternative this Monday!

 I didn't snap a picture of Zack's Arbys.

I hope everyone is having a stress free Monday evening, welcome back to the beginning of the week! Aren't Mondays just the best?

What are your favorite quick dinners when you don't have time to go get groceries?

Let me know:) I would love to try them out!
