    I've been on a serious healthy breakfast kick lately.  Maybe it's because we were on vacation for two weeks and all I did was eat.

    Seriously, that's all I did.  It was pitiful and glorious.

    It's time to reign that nonsense in.  It's time to eat more protein and veggies and fewer carbs.  I need healthy, high protein, start your day off right foods that will keep me full so I don't reach for a power bar (a.k.a. candy bar) between breakfast and lunch.

    Boiled eggs are great but I needed a little excitement in my morning. That's when I started to see Baked Avocado with Egg popping up all over Pinterest and on Popsugar.

    Those Pinterest folks are wicked smart.

    Avocados are loaded with healthy fats, protein, fiber, potassium and could help lower cholesterol.  They help you feel full so add a protein filled egg to that and you should be good to go until at least 12:35!  They are great for eye and heart health plus they can lower your risk of depression because of the high folate content.

    Sounds like a good way to start the day to me.

    I topped my Baked Avocado With Eggs with parsley but I think basil or chives might be better.  You can also try adding some crumbled bacon or ham for even more protein.

    Some tips for success - scoop out a good bit of flesh around the sides.  Dice that and save for topping or for Addictive Guacamole later.  Use large eggs and put each avocado in a ramekin if want to keep it super neat.  I did have one overflow onto the sheet pan.

    When the back to school supplies have been purchased and the shoes have been tried on, treat yourself to a relaxing morning with a special breakfast.  You deserve it!
