One thing I’ve learned to rely on since having a baby are quick, easy snacks — or mink meals. It’s not that I don’t have time to make food (although sometimes it does seem like that!), I just have so much I like to cram into my ‘free’ time when Hunter’s napping that eating suddenly turned into a quick affair.

Making a big batch of protein packed egg salad was one of my go to mini meal this week.

Instead of mayo I subbed in hummus with a touch of nutritional yeast for an added cheezy flavor.

Make ahead meals like these will definitely be a weekly thing!

    That looks delicious!! Eggs are definitely my biggest pregnancy craving and a great way for me to get lots of protein being a dairy free vegetarian. I will definitely be making this this week!!
