Our favorite egg salad

I make egg salad almost once a week!  Everyone at our house loves it and it is a quick and easy snack or dinner when we are on the run.

6 hard-cooked eggs, diced

Dash of celery salt

2 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise

1 Tbsp vinegar

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/8 tsp pepper

Mix it all together.  Yummy!

Chickfila Cole Slaw

Parmesan Pesto Salmon with Cheese Crisps

This is my favorite salmon recipe to make at home.  I used to get it from Dream Dinners, but I knew the recipe was super simple so I searched for it online and found it.  This will now be a regular.

1/4 cup white wine

Juice from 1 lemon

Garlic minced

3 salmon fillets, 4 oz each

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

1/4 cup pesto sauce

2 tablespoons cooking oil

Marinate salmon in wine and lemon juice.  Heat oven to 350.  Spray baking sheet heavily with Pam.  Place a tablespoon on parmesan cheese on sheet and flatten with finger into a circle.  Bake 8-10 minutes.  Cool completely before removing from sheet.  Press parmesan cheese into one side of salmon.  Heat 2 T oil in pan.  Place salmon cheese side down in pan.  Cook 4 minutes Turn and spread pesto on salmon.  Cook until done (5-10 minutes).

Serve salmon fillet topped with cheese crisp.

Deviled Eggs

I wanted to record my deviled egg recipe because I am forever making them.  Any special occasion calls for deviled eggs.

6 Hard Boiled Eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon mustard

1 teaspoon vinegar

Paprika

I must say I never follow this recipe exactly.  I always take liberties especially with the vinegar.  I like mine kind of sour!

Halve the hard boiled eggs and remove the yolks.  Place the yolks in a bowl and mash them with a fork.  Add mayo, mustard, and vinegar.  Add a little bit of salt and pepper.  Stuff the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.  Garnish with paprika.

Enjoy!  Warning - these will go fast...

Sausage & Cheese Wonton Cups

These are so yummy!  They are one of my new favorite appetizers.
