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

Okay, I know I promised you capes last week after debuting my new green Gossip Girlesque cape .  I love capes.  They are so easy to throw on (literally).  I especially love wearing over a suit so I don't feel so stuffed into jackets... you know what I mean?  But, I live in my capes on the weekend.   In my book a cape is a must have right now.... although in Boston it is soon to be very cold so layer layer layer.

B... Brimfield. Take 1!

So, I have been MIA....again!  Well, what can I say.  I return with Brimfield news though.  Not only did I hit Brimfield last week, I hit it twice.  I was there Tuesday, opening day, in the rain.  I then returned on Saturday for the 2nd to last day for the good deals and it was perfect sunshine. I am going to do a full debrief on all my purchases later this week, but I thought I would give you a little teaser today.  I bought this adorable school desk that I am currently hiding from the husband.  I have absolutely no need for a small kids desk as I already have a few. It was the drawer under the chair that got me.  How freaking cute!?  I had not plans on buying this, especially given the $50 price tag.  But, when the dealer told me I could have it for $30 (without me even asking)... I could not say no.  $30... total steal. I think I am going to paint it with white Annie Sloan chalk paint and put it in our family room as a little cra...

Photo and recipe from The Dabble As I have mentioned/complained about before... being a full time working woman, mom and blogger is hard work.  Hence, no post on Monday.  But, don't fret.  I am going to share a yummy meatless recipe with you.  As life has gotten busier and busier, I have implemented pizza night in our house.  Plain ol' pizza can get kind of boring, so  I have tried some more creative options.  A few weeks ago I cooked a sweet potato pizza and this week a straight old potato with other goodies version!  It was SUPER flavorful and really really yummy. Ingredients: 5 oz. fingerling or red bliss potatoes cornmeal pizza dough 1 ½ tbsp olive oil 1 clove of garlic, minced 4 scallions, thinly sliced 1 cup grated mozzarella 3 oz. goat cheese, crumbled 6 oz. asparagus, trimmed, cut in fourths ¼ cup grated Parmesan The Deal....
