Avocado Egg Salad Open Faced Sandwiches

I have to say that I love avocados , I love them in everything! And since summer has come to an end even though here in L.A. It still feels very much like summer, I feel like some avocado egg salad open faced sandwiches for lunch. I have some of these small sliced baguette rounds, and so I wanted to show you how they would look as finger food, as well as a spooky  lunch to commemorate the upcoming spooky filled day we call Halloween.

These make about four open faced sandwiches and about twenty small baguette rounds.

5 boiled eggs

2 avocados, flesh removed and diced

1 heaping tablespoon mayonnaise 

1/2 teaspoon finely chopped scallion 

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce like franks (optional)

A pinch of ground pepper 

A dash of salt

Slice boiled eggs and place in a medium sized bowl. Add diced avocados, mayonnaise, scallion, hot sauce, salt and pepper and smash together using a fork or my tool of choice, a potato masher. Mix together well and place on top of a slice of bread. I made a little spider from a black olive and I think I will name him LEG-olas!

More Halloween goodies to come!

Easy Chicken Salad Wrap

I love using leftovers to create something quick and easy.

Nothing in my life is ever really quick and easy, but this meal is.

Quick and easy seems to be the trending thing right now, and so that is what I am focused on right now because I'm hungry!

The other night I made Chicken fajitas and so I am using a piece of grilled chicken and some sautéed veggies from that meal to make a quick lunch.

Ingredients:

1 large grilled chicken breast (leftovers)

2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise 

1/4 cup grilled veggies

1/3 cup lettuce

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Ground pepper

Chop grilled chicken into bite sized pieces and place in a bowl.

Add chopped sautéed or grilled veggies, mayonnaise, chopped lettuce

Dijon mustard, a  pinch of ground pepper. I added some franks red hot sauce

To mine, because I put that $tuff on everything!
