4 Ingredient Egg Salad

I recently read a blog that I immediately fell in love with.

The hubbs and I consider ourselves to be "healthy" eaters...we eat lots of fruits and veggies and we eat very little (if any) fast food.


I once heard a comedian joke that every time he passed a fast food restaurant he'd smack his kids in the head so they would relate fast food with "pain"...and although I don't condone smacking your kids, it's not a bad idea!


I am totally against allowing your children to gorge on fast foods...Children will eat what you give them. Wait just a minute...if they're hungry enough, they'll eat whatever is in front of them. Sure, they're picky...but I promise if you wait long enough, they'll eat just about anything. It's not cruel...it's parenting.


I feel very strongly about this. I believe that one of the reasons we have a HUGE incidence of ADD, ADHD, and Childhood Diabetes is FOOD!! Preservatives, sugar, artificial colorings...


Ever wonder why we didn't have these "disorders" when people grew their own food and made their own meals EVERY DAY?!


Hmmmmm....


Anyway...On to the food! I've found this website and I LOVE IT!


I've planned out my meals for the week, and for lunch we'll eat Egg Salad Sandwiches on WHOLE WHEAT bread...hopefully bought at the Farmer's Market near our house (if it's available). 




Ingredients:


6-8 eggs (Boil eggs...place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and cover. Set aside to cool 10-12 minutes. The easiest way to peel these is under cold water)


Low fat mayo (check to see how many ingredients...the fewer, the better!)


Mustard (again with the ingredients!)


Celery (chopped into small pieces)


Paprika, Dill Weed, Salt and Pepper




How To:


Boil the eggs, then let them cool. 


Chop them into small pieces and place in a bowl. 


Add mayo, mustard, celery, and seasonings...you choose how much you add. This all depends on what you like to eat :)


The Results:


The egg salad on whole wheat bread is awesome! 


It's got a lot of protein, which fills you and will keep you from snacking throughout the day. 

I served it on whole wheat bread with fruit and veggies on the side. Yummy lunch!
