I make egg salad on a fairly regular basis around our house. It's so simple to prepare and I like to have a bowl of it readily available in the fridge for snacks or a meal. I've served it in wraps for a quick dinner on many occasions.
So the other night when I was having that same ole debate in my head~~< you know the one, What can I have for dinner tonight?
It hit me and I mean literally just staring me in the face in the fridge. That bowl of Egg Salad was somehow going to be dinner tonight.
So that little crisis going on inside my head was suddenly gone, cause I was going to stuff those perfectly ripe bright red tomatoes with some Yummy egg salad 🙂
Do you guys ever have that aha moment once you've decided your dinner menu?
I can only say that if you're Looking for:
- Light and Refreshing Dinner or Lunch option.
- Easy way to get in your Veggies and Protein.
- Not wanting to think about what's for dinner?
Then mix up a bowl of egg salad and think no more. Ha ha, I only mean about dinner.
Another great way to use up all those fresh garden tomatoes is with a big bowl of salsa and don't forget to try topping that salsa on your next pizza.
Yum...it really is incredibly awesome on pizza. But then again, tomatoes always have belonged on your pizza wouldn't you say? This is only topping them in another form.
