Sharing is caring!

Recently, I had tried out a recipe for deviled eggs (one of my personal favorite appetizers) and instead of using mayo, the recipe called for avocado. Now, I’m a huge fan of anything with avocado in it so I thought- why not give this a try. The end result was a tasty treat so I had to reason that if it worked with deviled eggs, it should also work with egg salad. Same process, just different application.

Try this quick and easy variation on egg salad, with just two ingredients.

I love egg salad sandwiches and yes, I’m one of those people who will eat egg salad on it’s own. I also love avocado and again, I’m just as happy to eat the avocado right from the skin with a spoon. So combining these two in a simple, yet delicious, recipe was right up my alley. I’ll try it again in the future with some variations, but overall, I’m happy with how it turned out.

Really this could not be more simple!

boiling eggs for egg salad

Come to think of it, this might be a great recipe to try out with Squeaker. I think that she could definitely help me make it next time.

avocado and egg

The most difficult part, quite honestly, was waiting for the eggs to cool so I could peel them. After that, it was just a matter of mashing everything together with a fork and figuring out how I wanted to season my egg salad. The next time I make this, I may just try this on a sandwich with sliced cucumber and some spinach. Maybe with a piece of bacon for texture.

Yum.

Like the traditional egg salad, you can easily double this recipe. I tend to go heavy on the eggs but I think a four to one ratio (eggs to avocado) is a decent measurement.

Do you have a favorite egg salad recipe? Have you tried using avocado instead of mayonnaise in your deviled eggs?

Recently, I was trying to figure out a snack for Squeaker. She tends to get bored with the same old, day in and day out… and I can’t blame her, because I do too. So, after taking a preliminary search through Google and Pinterest, I turned to my cookbooks. I have a few cookbooks that are specifically for baby food, so I hoped that I would find something easy to make. The end result?

I have received information and materials from McNeil Nutritionals, LLC the makers of LACTAID®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post. Have I ever mentioned that I’m lactose intolerant? I get this from my mom’s side of the family and most of my family members on that side are also lactose intolerant. We think it’s a hereditary thing from being Asian. And it’s actually quite common. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk. The enzyme lactase is needed to digest this sugar properly. People with a lactose intolerance don’t make enough of this enzyme. Pretty simple, right? But this pretty simple thing can prevent those with lactose intolerance from enjoying a lot of dairy based products. And for me,…

Pork Marsala Casserole

Recently we’ve taken to using pork in our recipes instead of chicken. I enjoy cooking with pork and I find it to be an incredibly diverse meat that won’t quite break the bank like beef. While I haven’t tried substituting it in any red meat based recipes, I’m finding that it does substitute nicely in chicken recipes. We have tried it out most recently in a Marsala and came up with a pork Marsala casserole.  The tastes was a bit more rich and hearty than with a chicken Marsala, but still delicious none the less. One of our go-to meals is a simple pork chops with rice and gravy dish. Everything is prepared in one pan, except for the rice, so the end result is…

I love French toast though I don’t make it too often. It’s not that it’s too much of a process, just that I don’t always feel like standing in front of the stove and babysitting my breakfast. Recently though, I discovered a few recipes for baked French toast. My interest was peaked because it looked like the ideal way to make it. So, I decided to try it with chocolate milk and ended up with an easy baked chocolate French toast recipe. Next time I do this, I’ll probably try a different bread but I just wanted to use what we had on hand. I may also adjust the amount of cinnamon that I used, but for the most part- this is definitely a keeper….

While a low carb diet isn’t exactly our intention, on occasion we’ll have low carb dishes. This usually results in a low carb breakfast option like this delicious low carb breakfast scramble. During the week we don’t make a big to-do about breakfast but over the weekends, we do put more effort into it. Sunday is always pancake day and Saturday, we get a little more creative.

Creamy Kielbasa and Cauliflower Casserole

I have a fondness for easy recipes, especially ones that I can prepare and eat in less than an hour. Even better when I can sneak in something healthy and I get a triple win when they come out toddler approved. This easy, creamy kielbasa and cauliflower casserole fit the bill on all accounts. I was almost going to call it a mac and cheese, but I wasn’t sure on semantics. Even though I’m fairly certain there’s no hard set rule that a mac and cheese needs to have elbow macaroni noodles. Of course, this isn’t a homemade sauce either, so I think that’s other reason I was hesitant to classify it in the homemade mac and cheese realm. Whatever the case? This is delicious….
