Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich

This recipe is from Martha Stewart. It's quite good. I had it today on homemade toasted wheat bread.


* 10 hard-boiled egg whites
* 2 hard-boiled egg yolks
* 2 to 3 tablespoons light mayo (I used 2 T fat free yogurt and 1 T Light Mayo)
* 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
* 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 1/2 avocado, mashed, plus 1/2 avocado roughly chopped
* Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

How I put it together is as I was boiling the eggs I cut up the avocado, put the lemon juice over it. Then, added the other ingredients and added the eggs last.

Yummy Berry Trifle



This is a recipe from my friend Kim. She brought it over one night we had them over for dinner. Then, Ryan made it for a school get together (I would of made it, but I was very ill at the time) Anyway, it is excellent! I am making it tonight and just doing strawberry shortcake with it.

1 Yellow Cake Mix
1 Cup Sour Cream
1 Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
1/2 Cup Oil
4 Eggs

Mix together and spread over a jelly roll. Bake at 300 for 30 min.

Filling

1 Can Sweet Condensed Milk
1/2 Cup Cold Water
1 Sm Box Instant Vanilla Pudding.

Mix together for 2 min and refrigerate till cake is done.

2 Cups of Heavy Cream Whipped till Still.

Fold heavy cream into filling mixture.

Any kind of fresh berry (Blueberry, Black Berry, Strawberry, Raspberry)

Once the cake is done cut up into 1 inch squares.

Layer Trifle

Cake
Filling
Berries

Do this till at the top you have berries.

Note: There are many ways to save on the calories. I use fat free sour cream, fat free pudding mix, 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites, fat free sweet condensed milk....you see where I'm going with this. It makes up for the heavy cream. Although, I'm planning on trying this with the fat free whipped topping. I think it would taste just as good with that.
