In 2013, Kendra Benson, founder of the website and blog Our Paleo Life, decided to set aside flour, sugar and milk in favor of healthier ingredients. She has always loved cooking and baking and wanted to find a better way to make meals for her family.

Round out this healthy lunch with grapes, sweet peas and a Paleo muffin.

What you'll need:

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/4–1/2 cup Paleo mayo
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp Paleo ranch dressing
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped into tiny bits
  • Smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half; remove yolks and place them in a bowl.
  2. Add 1/4 cup mayo, mustard, ranch dressing and salt to the bowl.
  3. Mash the yolks with a fork, mixing all of the ingredients together. If the mixture is too dry, add more mayo. Combine until mostly smooth.
  4. Spoon the yolk mixture into a pastry bag or Ziplock bag. Snip off one corner and pipe the mixture into the eggs.
  5. Sprinkle paprika on the tops of the eggs, then sprinkle the bacon bits on top.
  6. Serve cold.
