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

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

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! :)

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 :(

Tuna Avocado Cucumber Sandwiches

 Ingredients:

• 6 cucumber slices
• 1 can of tuna
• 2 Tablespoons paleo mayo
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 slice red onion
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle seasoning

Directions:

• Mix all ingredients together (minus cucumber)
• 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!

Paleo Mayo

I am attempt to potty train, we are not leaving the house for fear of, well more like inevitable, accidents. So for lunch I whipped up some wraps. To make the Turkey sturdier I tossed it in the pan with the bacon and cooked it. I put lettuce, tomato, avocado, badon, and a little mayonnaise in the turkey and wrapped it up. Absolutely delicious! Served it up with some apple sauce and we had lunch in under 5 minutes. Still stuck on Mayonnaise?! what!? YES! Here is a super easy recipe for Paleo mayo!

 Paleo Mayo

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 Cups light tasting olive or walnut oil
• 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper

 Directions:

• In a blender add eggs, vinegar and mustard until blended
• keep blender going and SLOWLY add oil... and I mean SLOW, like a drop at a time!
• BE PATIENT! 
• When it begins to thicken turn blender up a bit faster
• Continue to add oil drop by drop
• BE PATIENT!!!
• once all oil is added and mayo is to your desired consistency turn off blender
• add salt and cayenne pepper, mix well

 This recipe takes me about 30 minutes, it's time consuming but completely worth it... if you want mayo or the many things you can make from it!
