SWEET POTATO, QUINOA + EGG POWER BOWL RECIPE SWEET POTATOES
1 pound purple sweet potatoes or any color you have or love
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
QUINOA
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups low sodium veggie broth, or water
CHICKPEA SALAD
1 15-ounce can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup bell peppers, diced (mix and match colors)
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
ARUGULA SALAD
6 ounces arugula or whatever greens you have on hand
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
HAPPY EGG ORGANIC FREE RANGE EGGS
2 teaspoons ghee or butter
4 Happy Egg Organic Free Range Eggs
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 425 Fahrenheit. Rinse and dry the sweet potatoes, before cutting into bite sized chunks. I like to keep the skin on my sweet potatoes, but you can peel them if preferred.
Transfer the sweet potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and curry powder. Gently toss so all the sweet potatoes are coated with the oil and spices. Bake for 20 minutes or until fork tender.
Place quinoa in a small pot with the veggie broth (or water). Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, pop on a lid and cook for about 15 minutes or until the liquid has absorbed and the quinoa is nice and fluffy.
Place chickpeas in a medium sized bowl along with peppers, onion, lemon and oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Season arugula with olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper; gently toss to coat. Divide all four ingredients amongst 4 medium wide bowls.
Heat a small non-stick sauté pan over low heat. Add in the ghee.
Add 1-2 Happy Egg Organic Free Range eggs to the pan and cook for 30 seconds and then place a lid over the top. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set through and the yolks a bright and runny.
Place on top of power bowl and repeat with the remaining eggs. Enjoy!
NOTES: If you wanted to meal prep this recipe, prepare the sweet potatoes, quinoa and chickpea salad ahead of time and then store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Once ready to assemble, dress your greens and cook up your eggs. Super-fast and easy!

Essential Tips To Help You Look Your Best
Every society consists of people wanting to be young and beautiful. There are many definitions and ideas of ‘beauty’, both internal and external. Big improvements in appearance can be achieved with even simple changes. You can enhance your beauty just by making a few small changes.
Apply a moisturizer that is light before putting a fake tan on your skin. A fake tan will collect on spots of your skin that are dry. You should make sure you pay attention to your feet, elbows, knees and around your wrists. Apply lotion to these areas before applying a fake tanner.
You can camouflage an unsightly double chin by brushing on a swipe of rosy-brown powder blush along your jawline from your ears to your chin. Next, use a light, translucent powder on your natural chin and blend the entire area very well. This may take a bit of practice, but when done properly, it makes a noticeable difference.
If you have a wide face, you can make it appear less wide by applying a rosy, creamy blush only on the apples of both your cheeks. However, you should be careful to not apply it too close to your nose or extend the color out past your ears as this will make your face appear even wider.
To help your eyeliner last all day, apply a thin layer of eyeshadow in a matching color over the top of it. Most eyeliners have a tendency to fade or run throughout the day. This is particularly true for oil-based eyeliner pencils. You can eliminate this problem by brushing a layer of matching eyeshadow directly over the top of the eyeliner using a thin makeup brush. This helps to set it so it stays in place all day.
If you want to brighten up your skin, find a moisturizer with gold or pink undertones. Get that glowing, radiant effect by using a sponge to apply cosmetics to your brown bones and cheeks. Applied moderately, this undertone will blend in and look natural. If it looks shiny you have overdone it.
Add some moisturizer to your foundation. This makes your foundation last longer. This also changes how the makeup looks and increases the foundation’s ability to protect your skin from the sun.
For beautiful nails, put top coat on top of your nail polish every time. Topcoat will not only keep your nails looking shiny, it will extend the length of time between polishing. Avoid substituting clear nail polish for topcoat as it is not the same product, and will not provide the same benefit.
Get daily exercise if you would like to look young and fit. Daily exercise will help you stay healthy and look fresh and young. Movement is a requirement in any beauty plan. You need to exercise at least 15-20 minutes every day! Staying active can be as simple as walking a block or two and/or vacuuming your home.
If you want to stay beautiful, keep your skin healthy, and feel good, drink lots of water! 5-8 glasses of water a day is great, and even more is always good if you can manage it. Drinking plenty of water helps with bad or dry skin and many other ailments.
Always apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before using a curling iron, flat iron or hair dryer. Heat can damage your hair, leaving it brittle, dry and full of split ends. Just like their name implies, heat protectant sprays coat your hair to protect it from the heat. This allows it to stay smooth, sleek and shiny no matter how you choose to style your hair.
Fruits and vegetable juices contain antioxidants that can be nurturing to the skin. The nutrients in fruits and vegetables are great for your skin, along with the rest of your body. Drinking fruit and vegetable juices is a delicious way to get your recommended intake of these food types. Your skin can achieve that healthy glow if you replace artificially sweetened beverages with juice.
Petroleum jelly is a great moisturizer for extremely dry feet. Petroleum jelly is the most trusted product for softening hard feet versus those many other expensive products. Several times a week apply it to all the rough areas on your feet. It will prevent peeling and chafing, and before you know it, your feet will be smooth and healthy.
Hand lotion can be a great fix for a bad hair day! In the cold of winter when static has you looking electric, rub a small amount of lotion on your hands and gently pat your hair down. In the humid summer, do the same on the ends of your hair to tame frizz!
For calming skin inflammation rose and lavender are excellent ways to calm these areas. It can either be a lotion or a cream and can be used on any area of the body. There are a variety of products available in an organic form and many that have not been tested on animals.
To boost your hair’s shine when you wash it in the sink or shower, give it a final rinse under really cold water, if you can stand it. The cold water helps to seal the hair’s cuticle, making your tresses look smoother, shinier, and less frizzy than rinsing with hot water.
If you suffer from chronic, dry skin, you may want to see a dermatologist and get a microdermabrasion facial peel. Microdermabrasions are able to improve skin’s functioning and appearance in a very short amount of time. One treatment will help your skin to feel smoother and will improve your skin’s elasticity. Although one treatment helps, for the best results you should schedule at least 6 treatments.
Beauty is a very complicated factor in every person’s life, but it’s not something that is out of your control. Start right now working on enhancing your level of beauty. There is no reason why you should not appear and feel gorgeous each day. You are the one who decides whether or not you want to improve your beauty.
