bacon and egg salad, for sandwiches

I'm tired, and craving comfort food. Egg salad sandwiches and baked kale chips were what I wanted. Fast! Cheap! Easy! My favorite things. You all know I love deviled eggs, egg salad is just deviled eggs all chopped up and on a sandwich. Especially if you use a lot of mustard and paprika like me. Oh, and added bonus, I chopped up some bacon and added it in. Bacon and eggs are bff, everyone knows that!

Bacon and egg salad
makes about 4 sandwiches


8 eggs, hard boiled
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 c sweet hot mustard
1/4 c mayonnaise
2 T finely, finely chopped onion
1/2 t hot sauce
salt and pepper
1 t paprika

Peel the eggs, and cut them up into little tiny pieces. If you have an egg slicer, this is a useful tool. Put the eggs in a bowl, and add all the other ingredients. Stir well, and taste. You might want more mustard, or hot sauce, or more mayo. Serve on lightly toasted gf bread, or on crackers, or eat with a fork.

Oh and that bacon grease leftover from cooking the bacon? Toss some kale in a tablespoon of it and make the best kale chips ever. I promise.

Deviled eggs with horseradish

Maybe you are going to a party this holiday season and want to bring something simple but delicious. This might be something for you. I feel like people don't love deviled eggs as much as they used to a long time ago, but I can't imagine why. They're pretty, cheap, easy, simple and quick to make a whole lot at a time. I threw the horseradish in for extra punch, which Alex liked. I think his exact words were "that's just what the back of my throat needed".

Deviled eggs with horseradish
6 eggs
3 T mayonnaise
1 T mustard
1 T horseradish (make sure yours is fresh! otherwise these will be boring/regular)
salt and pepper
a pinch or two of paprika

Hard boil your eggs - set them in a pan of water, cover with an inch of water, and bring to a boil. Cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 13 minutes-ish. Run cold water over the eggs to cool them off, then sit down with the eggs and a bowl in front of the tv, and get to peeling. Once the eggs are peeled, cut them in half and scoop out the yolks. Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, and horseradish until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle in some paprika. Scoop the yolk mixture into the egg whites, and sprinkle a little paprika over the top for color.
Eat!
