Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs! They are the perfect snack! 
For me, these babies are the perfect pre and post workout food. Hard-boiled eggs in general make a quick snack if you are in a hurry. Power cook half a dozen Sunday night and you are set for the week. Or, they are great protein in your salads for lunch instead of meats. 

Eggs are the "good fats" your body needs to keep your heart healthy.  So as long as you don't fill these with g grotty mayo you are golden! Thankfully I am not a fan of mayo so this recipe works for my taste buds and my belly. 

Ingredients:
  • 2 hard boiled eggs peeled and slices in half
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • dash of Pink Himalayan salt
  • dash of garlic powder (not garlic salt)
  • dash of cracked pepper
  • sprinkles of paprika
Directions:
Remove yolks from egg whites. Place in small bowl with dijon, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mash until smooth. Place a scoop back into each egg white half. Sprinkle with Paprika per your liking.

These are quick and easy. I always have the ingredients on hand, and they add a little kick rather than having plain hard boiled eggs. Time to get my workout in!
ENJOY!

Dijon Vinaigrette

One of my favorite foods EVER is a good ol salad.
 I really could eat one every day. So many options you can't get bored. However the thing with salads is, you can ruin the nutritional value by using high fat, high calorie processed dressing. Most of the time when you order a salad out in a restaurant you will be getting a salad higher in fat and calories than if you ordered a hamburger! It's crazy. You need to have an arsenal of home made dressing recipes on hand for each of your moods. 
This one is a great versatile dressing for any kind of salad. Add this to a great pasta salad, or drizzled over sautéed or steamed veggies! It's a PERFECT addition!
MMMMMMMM I am getting hungry!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 TBS Red Wine Vinegar
  • 3 TBS Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2.5 TBS Dijon Mustard
  • 2 Cloves of chopped garlic
  • 1/4 tsp of Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1/4 tsp of Black Pepper
  • 5 TBS Exta-Virgin Olive Oil
DIRECTIONS:
 Mix Vinegar, Lemon Juice, Mustard, Garlic, Salt and Pepper in a small bowl; whisk.
Slowly add oil while whisking; Mixing well.
You can store left over dressing in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
