Deviled Chicken Salad

This is currently our favorite lunch! I layer this yummy chicken salad on top of spring mix and sliced tomatoes, and it's to die for! JayC wants it everyday for his lunch, so I have to double it when I make it so it lasts a couple days at a time. I got the recipe from Mealpod.


Deviled Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• 12 oz chicken breast, cooked and cubed
• 3 hardboiled eggs, chopped
• 1 cup celery, finely chopped
• 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 bunch green onion, diced finely (optional)
• salt and fresh ground pepper

Cube chicken and put it in mixing bowl. Add and mix in your chopped eggs, celery and green onions, if using. Fold in mayonnaise and mustard, mix gently until well distributed. Add salt and pepper to taste. This makes about 3 cups of salad. You could even use this for sandwiches, if you like. Yummy!

Tomato Basil and Mozzarella Salad

We had this as an appetizer at an Italian restaurant we went to a couple years ago. It was spectacular! They served it with a basil pesto to dip the tomatoes and mozzarella and bread into. Well, since we don't eat much bread around here, I prefer to make it this way. We love it, especially on hot summer days when I don't want to turn on the oven!

Tomato Basil and Mozzarella Salad

Ingredients:

• 4-6 medium sized tomatoes (I prefer Roma tomatoes.)
• 1 lb mozzarella cheese (At Wal-mart, I buy the pre-sliced block of it for about $5, but you can probably find it for cheaper outside of California!)
• 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves ( You could use dried, but you'd be missing out on great flavor!)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• salt, pepper and garlic salt to taste

Slice tomatoes and layer them with slices of mozzarella on a serving dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Sprinkle with fresh shredded basil. Drizzle with olive oil and serve! Serves 4-6 (about one tomato per person, but JayC and I eat this all by ourselves. :)

Sausage Quiche

This is one of our favorite recipes that I make at least once every 2 weeks. It's so yummy, especially with some Louisiana hot sauce on top. I've tried a lot of crustless quiche recipes, but this one is the creamiest and I love the flavor the sausage gives it. Great for breakfast or dinner! I got this from Linda's Low Carb website.

Sausage Quiche

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork sausage, browned
• 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• dash of pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream
• dash crushed red pepper (I added this, cuz it mades it so yummy!)

Brown your sausage and place it in the bottom of a large pie plate or an 8x8 casserole dish. Top with cheese. Beat the eggs, salt and pepper, and then beat in the cream. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
