Hate doing dishes? You’ll LOVE this veggie hash, which uses just one pan.

But that’s not the only reason you’ll love it. There’s something about this recipe… maybe it’s all the textures and flavors… that makes it craveable!

One-Pan Spring Veggie Hash with Crispy Eggs
Serves 2–3

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small sweet potato, diced small
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
½ small onion, sliced
Salt + pepper
½ tsp garlic powder or smoked paprika (optional)
4–6 eggs
Optional add-ins: Fresh herbs, feta or goat cheese, avocado, leftover chicken or sausage, white beans or chickpeas

➡️How to make it:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften.

Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Season with salt, pepper, and spices. Cook until tender and lightly browned.

Make small wells in the veggies and crack eggs directly into the pan. Cover and cook until whites are set and edges are crispy. Leave yolks runny or cook longer if you prefer.
Serve straight from the pan.

Have you heard of this?
It's called the “sitting-rising” test.
The sitting-rising test sounds simple yet it is a good measure of strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and muscle power all at once, which is why researchers found it so strongly linked to longevity.
The good news: no matter how you scored, you can get better at it!
✅ Mobility improves with practice
✅ Balance responds to targeted training
✅ Strength builds at every age
To try it
Start standing
👉 Cross your legs and lower yourself all the way to the floor without using your hands, knees, or any other support.
👉 Then stand back up the same way.

That's it. Simple… but not easy.
Follow along this week to learn more about this simple but powerful test.

How is your birthday age compared to your biological age?

06/02/2026

You have two ages. One is on your birth certificate. The other one? You're living it every day.
The gap between your chronological age and your biological age comes down to your habits:
✅ How you move
✅ How you sleep
✅ What you eat
✅ How you manage stress
It's never too late to start closing that gap.
