M.M.... Meatless Monday!

Okay, I am bringing you another sandwich.  What can I say .... working mom....in search of easy dinners! :)  This is a yummy recipe for egg salad that my friend S.H. shared with me that is from Pioneer Woman.  There is a cafe in Cambridge that makes THE most amazing egg salad that is covered with avocado!  It is one of my top 5 favorite sandwiches, so I was eager to give this a try!  

I am making a few adjustments to Pioneer Woman's recipe.  First, I am halving the recipe for those of us with only two mouths to feed.   Her recipe made a lot of egg salad.  Secondly, she put EVERYTHING including the eggs in the food processor.  Maybe it is just because we have been making a ton of baby purees... but we did not love the egg salad so smooth, we wanted chunky.   Though I will say hers looks chunkier than mine ended up!   I also added a dash more vinegar and substituted red onion for chives.  A week ago I had a TON of chives, but used them to make compound butter.

Here is my adaptation of Pioneer Woman's recipe:


Ingredients

  • 4 whole Hard Boiled Eggs, Peeled
  • 1 whole Avocados, Pitted
  • 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • 1 teaspoon Chives Chopped (or Red Onion or something else zesty)

Preparation Instructions

Place eggs in a large bowl and mash until broken into small bits but still chunky and put to the side.  In the bowl of a small food processor combine the avocado, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt/pepper and pulse until creamy.   Pour this creamy avocado goodness into the large bowl with the eggs and mix together.  Stir in the chives/red onion/whatever.  
Spoon the egg salad onto soft sandwich bread with Dijon mustard spread on it.  Add a slice of tomato and you have yourself a sandwich!    This recipe will make you two or three sandwiches depending on how much egg salad you add to each!  
This is a quick and easy sandwich (make the eggs ahead of time and allow to hang out in the fridge).  Hopefully next week's Meatless Monday will offer you more than a sandwich!  Until next time...xoxo

P is for Project!

Image
So, since the wee one arrived, we have not had a real house project.  The husband loves a project and has been hankering for something new to work on!  Well, he now has one.  We have a strange room in our basement that is "finished" it has a fireplace and everything.  I will share more on the "update" of the room.   At one point, the husband had made some "improvements" in hopes at one point of having a "kick ass" man town.  But, he never really used the space.  My philosophy is use it or lose it! So, we have a three bedroom house, once Avery arrived we lost a guest room.   At Christmas we had more guests than beds.  So, we have decided to convert the basement room into a playroom/guest room.  Now, Avery will not use it as a playroom for quite a while, but I like to plan ahead!  It will be great to have some additional guest space.  So, in order for it to function as guest space and "hang out" or play space- we need sitting and...

I is for Inspiration...

I love this feature wall.  Usually I am not into feature walls, but in this case... LOVE IT!  I stumbled across this photo in Better Homes and Gardens magazine.  I could not find this photo on their website so sorry for my bad photo taken of the magazine page. As you know, I did a Board and Batten project in my master bedroom.  I have gotten lots of compliments on it!  I like a project that adds character to a house!  I have also admired exposed board walls like the one Miss Mustard Seed created.  Unfortunately, the exposed board look does not really go with the style of our house which has a lot of molding, wainscotting, etc.   I think it is a little too casual for our home.  If we had a cape or bungalow it would be great, but our Royal Barry Wills colonial calls for something else. I have this idea saved in the back of my mind if we ever finish our attic or perhaps for Avery's room when she gets older! :)  You cannot really see the ...
