Egg Salad

I wanted a more traditional lunch today. Like a sandwich. With a fresh batch of hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator I decided what's better than an egg salad sandwich.. ugh... wrap.

Egg Salad

2 Hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/4 avocado, cubed
2 Tablespoons paleo mayo
2 slices crispy bacon
1 lettuce leaf

Directions:

Put mixture on a lettuce leaf
Roll up and enjoy!

Shrimp Avocado Salad

For lunch today I had planned to have THIS meal, but my shrimp didn't thaw in time, so I decided to have it tomorrow. Confused? Well apparently meat not thawing in time is my thing and the chicken I wanted to have for dinner didn't thaw in time so shrimp was up! Chicken will probably just be tomorrow dinner. This. Was. Amazing.

Shrimp Avocado Salad

 Ingredients:

• Dressing
• 1 Tablespoon of juice from thawing shrimp
• 1/2 Cup mayo
• 1 12 oz bag of frozen cooked shrimp
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• 1/4 Cup chopped red onion

Directions:

• Thaw shrimp in a strainer over a bowl
• Wisk Dressing ingredients together
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl, until covered in dressing
• Serve as a side or a meal!

I was actually running late to go couponing with my mom so I ate a bowl of this, and just this and it was completely satisfying! Covered my major food groups; fats, meat, and veggies! :)

Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad

I had been reminiscing about a particular pasta salad that I loved, and I thought I could make something like that... no not just like it... BETTER!!! It was much better, just amazingness on my tongue! This is good by itself or as a side dish.

I had this, 2 deviled eggs and a golden delicious apple for lunch, I realized when I looked down I had NO meat on my plate! So I took two slices for ham and ate them too! I think an good addition to this would be some cubed mozzarella, if only i had some!

Pan fried eggs and bacon

This morning I went for the basic eggs and bacon from breakfast, I just added a bit of sliced avocado because I'm not really a huge fan of the taste of fried eggs (even when I cook them in bacon grease). Well actually it may be the texture that I don't like because I LOVE eggs. While I made breakfast I boiled a dozen eggs. I see hard-boiled eggs showing up here soon!

I also ended up having a banana too. I love having fruit with my breakfast, but nothing too high in sugar!

Taco Salad

I STILL had some ground beef in the fridge, so I figured it was use it TONIGHT or lose it. I went for option number one with quick and easy taco salad. It was less than 10 minutes from the time I walked into the kitchen until I was sitting down to eat dinner. I did already have the taco seasoning mixed so that saved me a few minutes. I made just one serving tonight

I would have also put some salsa on this, but I am fresh out :( It was still so yummy!

Omelet

I woke up STARVING this morning and much earlier than necessary thanks to my garbage pick up being at 6 am. Nothing like a garbage truck outside to wake you up! So I decided to actually cook this morning. I had a ham and cheese omelet, sausage patties, a cutie, some avocado and sweet potato hash browns! Even though I made one plate and then split it with my daughter it was still way too much food we couldn't finish it! Guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach! It was an awesome way to start my day!

Ham and Cheese Omelet

 

Ingredients: 

• 3 eggs
• 1 thick slice of ham (chopped)
• cheese
• Splash of milk

Directions:

• beat the eggs and milk in a medium size bowl
• pour into a greased pan, cover, and cook until eggs are done
• heat up ham
• add cheese and ham to one half of cooked egg
• fold egg in half

I added some avocado to the top of my omelet because I love the flavor avocado adds!

Tuna Avocado cucumber sandwhiches

Continuing with my lazy vacation theme I've had going, for lunch I made some quick "sandwiches". These were surprisingly filling! I have a love affair with bacon and couldn't help but to think that next time I will definitely add some to the mix. These were full of flavors and so yummy! I can't get my picture to upload :(

• Top each cucumber slice with a tablespoon of mixture
• Enjoy!

This was so easy, quick, and surprisingly filling! I also split a banana with Delilah because her two year old taste buds didn't enjoy the tuna or cucumbers!

Stuffed Hamburger

I had a pound ground beef in the refrigerator that I need to use or freeze. I'm still scraping things together to since there is next to no other food in the fridge with my beef. I would have put a few more ingredients in my burgers (such as mushrooms and peppers) if I had them.  I added a side of sweet potato and dinner was served!
