High-Protein Avocado Egg Salad

(via: https://bit.ly/4mkSmz4)

Ingredients
12 large eggs
2 large ripe avocados
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill
¼ cup finely chopped fresh chives, green onions work too
1 small finely diced jalapeño (optional), pickled jalapeños are also great
2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp grainy mustard
juice and zest of a large lemon
½ tsp sea salt, or to taste

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in 12 large eggs and cook for exactly 10 minutes for a set but slightly jammy yolk. Transfer immediately to an ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes, then peel and roughly chop.

Halve and pit 2 large ripe avocados. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl along with the chopped eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 tbsp dijon mustard, 2 tbsp grainy mustard, juice and zest of a large lemon, ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill, ¼ cup finely chopped fresh chives, 1 small finely diced jalapeño (optional)and ½ tsp sea salt. Mash and stir until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.

Serve immediately.
Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning, for up to 2 days.

Note: Swap Cottage Cheese for 1 additional ripe avocado to recipe above to make this dish approved for the 30-Day Metabolic Comeback Challenge. Find all Recipes of the Week on our Pinterest boards: https://bit.ly/3VhrcuT

"Everyone at The Exercise Coach really cares about the well-being of each of their clients. They listen to assure that individual needs are always considered when determining specific exercises that should be included as well as excluded when designing a client’s exercise program. The coaches are all kind and considerate, “know” their clients, and interact appropriately during exercise appointments. The “one on one” approach is unlike that of other gyms or training facilities, setting The Exercise Coach apart, and the tendency to specialize in clients whose needs are unique makes Exercise Coach a leader in this niche. I highly recommend The Exercise Coach."

(Recipe of the week) This sweet potato chowder is a hug in a bowl! Made with lots of greens and crunchy pancetta and pepitas for topping, it's a perfect weeknight meal.

Sweet Potato Chowder

(via: https://bit.ly/47DHCpt)

Ingredients
4 ounces pancetta, diced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 sweet onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon ground sage
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
½ cup chopped carrots
3 cups chopped sweet potato, about 1 inch in size
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock
⅓ cup cream, half and half or coconut cream/milk
2 cups chopped tuscan kale
3 tablespoons roasted salted pepitas, for topping

Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-low heat and add the pancetta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the pancetta is crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel lined plate to remove any excess grease.
Keep the pot on medium low heat and add the butter. Stir in the onion, garlic, salt, pepper and sage. Stir in the fresh nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the carrots and sweet potato, tossing everything to combine.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce it to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Cover and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes cubes soften. Stir in the cream/halfhalf/etc. Taste the soup and season with additional salt or pepper if needed, but remember we will add the salty pancetta back on top too!
A few minutes before serving, stir in the kale. I like to serve it almost immediately, but you can simmer the soup for another 10 minutes or so to soften it.
Serve with the pancetta and pepitas for topping.

Note: Use uncured, no-sugar pancetta to make this dish approved for the 30-Day Metabolic Comeback Challenge. Find all recipes of the week on our Pinterest boards: https://bit.ly/3VhrcuT
