Bacon Guacamole

Maybe I should add this recipe to one of the ways to instantly boost your mood!  This guacamole was delicious and we may or may not have scoffed the entire bowl down in one short sitting.

This was somehow the first time I’ve ever made guacamole!  My best friend and roommate of seven years makes the best guacamole in the world so I pretty much always left it to her.  Andy and I thought it would be a great little date night appetizer though so I decided to give it a whirl.

This recipe is super simple. One because Mr. Picky doesn’t like tomatoes or onions and two because if I can make a dish without chopping anything I’m sold. Continue reading →

Primal Egg Salad over Spinach & Bacon Salad

Why do I like such smelly foods?!  While coming up with this concoction of a recipe I forgot the scent that would fill my kitchen.  I’m used to the bacon smell obviously…but mix that with hard boiled eggs and it’s not so pretty.  I guess now I know why I have so many candles in my apartment!

This salad was super easy to make and tasted yummy.  I’m all about the simple recipes during the week.  After a long day of work, sometimes I’m just not in the mood to make anything that takes more than 15 minutes!

Ingredients

2 Hard Boiled Eggs

1/2 Ripe Avocado

2 tbsp of Dijon Mustard

Salt

Pepper

Organic Baby Spinach

Grape Tomatoes

Sliced Mushrooms

Balsamic Vinegar

Olive Oil

2 Pieces of Bacon

  1. Cook bacon in oven on 400 degrees for 15 minutes turning over once.
  2. In a separate bowl mix together eggs, avocado, dijon mustard, salt and pepper.  Use a fork and knife to cut up and mash the eggs and avocado.
  3. Put together salad of spinach, mushroom and tomatoes and drizzle with balsamic and olive oil.
  4. Spoon egg salad mixture over the spinach salad.
  5. When bacon is done cooking, let it cool for a few minutes.  Cut it up and sprinkle over the egg salad.

This is a great option for lunch or dinner!  (You might just be that person with the smelly lunch in the office!)
