Egg Salad Sandwich...

Just in time for Easter and all those hard-boiled eggs, I present to you my egg salad sandwich recipe!


Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped dill
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Fill medium size saucepan with cold water. Carefully place eggs in, making sure the water covers them. Place on burner over high heat. Wait until the water comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and boil for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat, drain water and then place the eggs immediately in a bowl of cold water. Unshell the eggs and then chop them up.

Stir eggs and all ingredients in a bowl, toast two slices of bread and serve with lettuce or pickles (however you like it).


You can also make a few extra hard boiled eggs for Easter egg dyeing purposes : ) Now hop to it!

Fish Tacos...

When I lived in San Diego, there was a little thing called Taco Tuesday. In Seattle, not so much. But Taco Tuesday was amazing: two dollars or less for a taco of your choice plus deals on margaritas and Mexican beer.

These tacos may not be two dollars or less, but they are delicious-

Fish Tacos (for two)

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 pound white fish (such as cod)
  • 4 tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 head of cabbage, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 cup Pico de Gallo (or you can make your own- see below)
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste
Season fish with salt, pepper and juice of one lime. In a greased pan cook the fish on medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning half way through. The fish should be flaky. Remove from heat. In a small bowl combine cabbage with Pico de Gallo and sour cream until mixed. Divide fish among the tortillas and put a large scoop of the cabbage mix on top. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese and enjoy! You can also add avocados or guacamole.

Pico de Gallo Recipe (from Food Network's Emeril Lagasse)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl:
  • 1 1/2 cups seeded, diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon diced jalapenos
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and pepper
I know it's not Tuesday, but tacos are a good meal any day of the week!
