We are all busy. Work, school, family, homes... the list goes on and on. Often sitting down for a home cooked meal gets put off for something easily pickup at a drive thru window or thrown in the microwave. At Meal Planning for Families we are striving to make cooking every night easy and fun. With simple meals and easy recipes. Each week adding more freezer meals, crock pot favorites and pantry raid meals. Making meals at home is healthy, fast, cheap and fun.

Fool Proof Hard Boiled Eggs
Something as simple as hard boiled eggs can go horribly wrong. I can stand that ring that comes around the yolk of an overcooked egg! However with a few simple steps you can get perfect eggs every time.
1 - Start with fresh eggs - old eggs will be harder to peel in the end
2 - Place eggs in a pot - you don't want them to have much wiggle room so choose a pot that is the right size for however many eggs you are cooking.
3 - Cover the eggs with cold water
4 - Put the pot over high heat - let water come to a full boil
5 - Turn off the heat and place a cover on the pan and let sit for 15 minutes
6 - Place the pot in the sink and run cold water over eggs until all the water in the pot is cold
7 - Let the eggs sit in the cold water for 15 minutes
8 - Crack shells and peel - run under cold water if needed.

Yum!
