Bites freeze great. Defrost in the fridge and heat in oven or toaster oven (preferred), or microwave. They are fine up to three days in the fridge though... if they last that long. They are great for parties because tons can be made ahead and reheated when ready for serving, breakfasts on-the-go, or lunch or dinner with a scoop of salad or veggie.

or make a batch of Shelly's Chicken Egg Foo Young Muffins for dinner or one of these weight loss surgery friendly ideas.

or if you have already hard cooked your eggs turn them into this yummy crab egg salad...

Shelly's Crab Egg Salad

4 Hardcooked Eggs

1 Green Onion, diced
2 oz. Greek Yogurt (I used Fage Plain 2%)
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper

Hard boil eggs, peel and slice in half. Remove yolk and set whites aside. Mix yolks, crab, yogurt, mayo, onion, salt and pepper together in a mini food processor till smooth.

Place mixture in a quart size Ziploc bag, snip off end and fill whites or pipe onto cucumber slices, into tomatoes, or celery stalks. Sprinkle with slices of green onion.

Eggs are one of my post weight loss surgery top 10 favorite protein sources and hard cooked eggs are a great because they are portable protein. I often toss them in my bento lunches, save salt & pepper packets from take-out.

Yum! Is it lunch time yet?!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. If the chocolate bunnies, peeps, and jellybeans got the best of you. Remember: you can't rewind time, GET OVER IT, GIVE IT AWAY & PLAN your next healthy meal. Too many years I let one bad choice spiral into a day of bad choices, week, month, 50 pounds of them. Lesson hopefully learned: control your mind... or it will control you. Hope everyone has a GREAT week!
