If you are looking for a great gift idea for someone this year definitely consider this Krups Egg Express Egg Cooker! I am in love with this little appliance!

Hard boiling eggs is a quick and easy way for me to get Brooklynn some protein plus Steve can make a couple of days worth of egg salad sandwiches for lunch from the same batch.

This Krups Egg Express Egg Cooker is just $20.99 on amazon, a great price for someone on your Christmas list!
