Shakshuka

Picture this: rich tomato sauce mixed with gooey, silky eggs. That's Shakshuka. This traditional African recipe has captured the hearts of people across the globe. Gently poached eggs stew in garlic, tomatoes, and onions to create a one-of-a-kind taste. We hunted down the most authentic Shakshuka recipe.

Cobb Salad

A favorite of Keto-based diets, Cobb salad combines crisp greens, creamy avocado, crispy bacon, and hard-boiled eggs. Healthy doesn't have to be bland. We love the idea of using a homemade dressing.
