This Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe is high in protein, easy to make, and loved by both kids and adults! It’s the perfect way to use leftover hard-boiled eggs from Easter. Egg salad is a classic staple for every household and is great to enjoy at home or on the go.

I’ll be honest, I’d never even tried egg salad because I didn’t see the point. And really, how often are you even offered egg salad? For me, basically never! Then one day we went to a new sandwich shop and my husband ordered an egg salad sandwich. I was genuinely confused. We’d been married over five years and I’d never once seen him eat it. He said he’d always liked egg salad, he just never thought to make it. Interesting.

Then I got pregnant, got sick, lived on IV therapy for a while, and completely forgot egg salad even existed. Until this past week. And wow. It’s delicious. I love deviled eggs so why didn’t I think about trying egg salad? I’ve clearly been missing out. So consider this your sign. Try it for lunch, dinner, a snack, as a sandwich, on crackers, or in a wrap. However you eat it, just try it.

Ingredients for Egg Salad Sandwiches

There are a million egg salad sandwich recipes out there, but none of them are going to be as glorious as this one. These are the ingredients you will need:

  • Mayonnaise: It has to be Hellman’s. Trust me on this one.
  • Dijon or Yellow Mustard: I usually reach for Dijon, but yellow works just fine if that’s what you have.
  • Stoneground Mustard: Adds an extra layer of flavor and a little texture that makes the salad more interesting.
  • White Vinegar or Lemon Juice: The acid is key to getting the flavor just right and balancing the richness.
  • Fresh Chives: Bring a subtle onion and garlic flavor without overpowering the eggs.
  • Fresh Parsley: Adds a bright, fresh note that keeps the salad from feeling heavy.
  • Fresh Dill Weed: You can’t miss that classic dill flavor. It’s essential for a proper egg salad.
  • Kosher Salt: Season thoughtfully and taste often until it’s just right.
  • Black Pepper: Adds flavor with the tiniest hint of heat.
  • Hard-Boiled Eggs: Use your preferred method. We have posts for both stovetop and Instant Pot.
  • 7-Grain Bread: High quality is key so it can stand up to the creamy egg salad.
  • Green Leaf Lettuce: I love the crunch and the fresh, bright contrast it adds.

The measurements for each ingredient are listed in the recipe card at the end of the post. You can also save or print the recipe from there.

Grandma’s Homemade Minestrone Soup

Grandma’s Homemade Minestrone Soup

This classic Minestrone Soup recipe comes straight from my grandma’s cookbook. It’s made with simple vegetables, hearty beans, and a rich, slow-simmered broth. It’s warm, familiar, and deeply nostalgic.

This is a recipe you’d expect from an Italian Nonna! (even though my grandma isn’t Italian). Perfect for cold nights, Sunday dinners, or anytime you’re craving a truly homemade minestrone that’s timeless.

Once a year we would visit my grandma, who became a widow far too early. It always made me sad to know how much she was alone, but gathering around her table brought so much light and joy into her eyes I knew she would be ok. In the winter, she almost always made a Minestrone Soup with pasta or potatoes. The house felt cozier when it was on the stove, and you were engulfed with the smell it as soon as you walked in.

She served it with garlic knots and salad, and we’d dip the bread straight into the soup, letting it soak up the warm broth before taking a bite. It’s usually hard to get kids excited about a bowl full of vegetables and beans, but this soup is different. We always finished it, and most of the time went back for seconds. Even now, Minestrone reminds me of sitting at her kitchen table.

Ingredients for Minestrone Soup

Grandma’s recipes are ALWAYS better! This Minestrone Soup is no exception. Packed with vegetables, beans, and savory seasonings, these ingredients come together to create this classic flavorful soup!

  • Onion: Adds sweetness and depth as the foundation of the soup.
  • Carrots: Bring subtle sweetness and color to balance the savory broth.

  • Kosher Salt: Enhances and layers flavor throughout the cooking process.
  • Zucchini: Adds texture and a light, fresh vegetable note.
  • Green Beans: Bring freshness and light crunch.
  • Garlic: Builds bold, savory flavor once sautéed with the vegetables.

Broth & Seasonings

  • Tomato Paste: Concentrates tomato flavor and deepens the broth.
  • Dried Oregano: Adds a traditional Italian herb flavor.
  • Poultry Seasoning: Brings warmth and subtle complexity to the soup.
  • Black Pepper: Adds gentle heat and balance.
  • Chicken Broth: Forms the rich, savory base of the soup (vegetable broth works too).

  • Bay Leaves: Infuse the broth with a subtle, aromati

If you love cheesecake but don’t love the effort (or the waiting), this one’s for you. This cheesecake yogurt is made with just two ingredients—vanilla Greek yogurt and Biscoff cookies—and somehow transforms overnight into something that tastes shockingly close to real cheesecake.

It’s creamy, lightly sweet, high in protein, and honestly feels like there’s no way it can be so easy to make.

I’ve been seeing this viral yogurt dessert all over Instagram lately, so I had to try it and I was blown away! It really does taste like cheesecake and I didn’t even feel guilty eating it because it’s so high in protein. It’s not everyday that you find a delicious high protein dessert recipe!

Why This Cheesecake Yogurt Works

The cookies soften as they sit in the yogurt, creating that classic cheesecake crust-meets-filling texture. The graham cracker crust always was my favorite part of a cheesecake! The tanginess of Greek yogurt mimics cream cheese, while the Biscoff adds sweetness and depth. You don’t need a blender or a water bath. There’s no baking, and it couldn’t be easier!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt: Thick, creamy, and high-protein, this is the base that gives the yogurt its cheesecake-like texture and tangy sweetness.
    • PRO TIP: Our favorite yogurts for this recipe are Oikos Pro or Siggi’s. We didn’t love it as much with Chobani or Greek Gods.
  • Biscoff Cookies: Softened in the yogurt, these spiced

A Healthy One Pan Dinner That Actually Fills You Up

We’re always on the hunt for healthy one pan dinners! We want meals that feel balanced, satisfying, and don’t leave us rummaging through the pantry an hour later. That’s exactly why we love this one pan honey garlic kielbasa and vegetables.

The mix of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes makes this meal hearty enough to truly fill you up, while the broccoli adds freshness and color. More color on your plate isn’t just good for nutrients, it also helps your brain register the meal as satisfying, so you actually feel done when dinner’s over.

Why a Sheet Pan Works Best for This Kielbasa Recipe

  • Even roasting: Spreading everything out on a sheet pan allows the kielbasa and vegetables to roast instead of steam, giving you better browning and caramelization.
  • Perfect texture balance: The potatoes become tender, the broccoli gets lightly crisp, and the kielbasa browns beautifully — all at the same time.
  • Hands-off cooking: Once everything is on the pan and in the oven, there’s very little to manage. No stirring, no babysitting.
  • Big flavor, easy cleanup: The honey garlic sauce melts and coats the sausage as it bakes, creating big flavor without extra dishes.
