Egg Salad

(aka: Egg and Olive)

My pregnant Body has been Screaming for Protein and so I’ve been eating Egg Salad Practically Everyday for Lunch! I grew up waiting and LOVING what we called Egg and Olive Sandwiches! As an Adult I’ve added a little twist to it and I no longer eat it on bread. I simply eat it out of a bowl just like potato salad! Here’s How I make it.

1 Dozen Hard Boiled eggs.

Approx ¼ mayo

1 TBSP Mustard

1 Can of Olives Chopped real fine.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Place your Chopped, peeled, hard-boiled eggs in a mixing bowl with the Mayo. Use a fork, potato masher or pastry knife to thoroughly blend the eggs and the mayo till the whites are nice and small and the yolks and mayo have creamed. Add the mustard salt and Pepper and Olives, mix well and SERVE! YUM!

Curry Turkey

The day after Thanks-Giving when we have lots of left over turkey, I LOVE to make Curry Turkey for sandwiches and lettuce boats! And Since I love curry so much I also started making it with canned chicken from Costco as well. This is a hard recipe to type because i never measure any of it; I do all the ingredients according to taste! So here’s my Basic Idea, you can taste it as you go and see what you like!

Ingredients

Turkey or chicken

Mayo

Curry

Honey

Diced apple

Raisins

Start with your meat and mayo then mix well. Next add the curry and honey and mix well again before adding the apples and raisins!

MEAT- I start with approx 1-1 ½ cups of diced turkey meat. Or 1 can of Chicken.

MAYO- I add the Mayo to my personal preference. Approx 1-2 Large scoops with the spoon. Use whatever amount you would use for Chicken salad or tuna salad.

CURRY- I start with approx 1TBSP of Curry. You could need less or you could need twice as much curry, it all depends on if you have mild or spicy curry and if your curry is fresh and high quality or if it’s an off brand or been sitting the cupboard for a while. Curry looses it’s potency relatively quick. So I like to buy the good stuff at whole foods cause it’s much stronger and seems to keep it’s flavor longer! But either way, don’t be a sissy, don’t be afraid to dump it on!!! Prepare yourself to feel like you’re adding too much, cause then you’re getting close to adding enough! lol I LOVE a nice strong curry taste! I’ve never had too much curry! lol

HONEY- Depending on how much meat you are using your and the potency of your curry you may need more or less Honey. I’d guess approx 1TBSP of Raw honey.

APPLE- I use approx ¼ of an average apple and a chop it nice and small. I want the apple chunks to be similar in size to the raisins.

RAISINS- I’d say, approx 1/8 cup. More or less to your taste!
