Not-Really Egg Salad

Had a really lovely weekend, and here goes an attempt at an update.... 

I really like the idea of egg salad, but I don't really like hard-boiled eggs. So here is some approximation of egg salad. It's good, I promise!



Cast of characters:
-1 large sweet potato, diced small
-1 tsp. curry powder
-1/2 colored pepper
-1/4 avocado, chopped

-2 T light mayonnaise
-1 T mustard 
-1 T lemon juice
-1/4 avocado 
-1 tsp. caesar salad dressing (I would have used milk otherwise, just to thin it out) 

-buns, lettuce, cheese, mayo

1. Toss diced sweet potato with a bit of olive oil, curry powder, and a bit of black pepper. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until soft.
2. Blend the last 5 ingredients together until smooth.
3. After the sweet potatoes have cooled a bit, mix with diced pepper and avocado.
4. Add dressing and eat on a sandwich (or with a fork)!

Hope you all had fabulous weekends as well!

May Sunshine

I am enjoying warm sunshine, and the impending end of school. I have actually made a couple of things, just not successfully photographed.

-But recently I made this tart. Delicious, but I will try to make thicker pastry cream next time.

-I will be making this cocktail to celebrate the end of school.

-I also plan on eating cake.

Hope you folks in Minnesota don't actually get snow this week!
