Hard-Boiled Egg + Crispy Bacon Bits
I had a few leftovers when I was making that epic Cobb Salad Sandwich recipe, so I turned them into a snack! Hard-boiled Egg with Crispy Bacon Bits makes a really great breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. I don’t know about you, but if I don’t get enough protein during the day I’m not pleasant to be around. This little combination comes in handy. You could add some hot sauce for flare or maybe a little flavored salts?
Cobb Salad Sandwich
Sometimes you want a salad…and sometimes you want a sandwich and sometimes you WANT them both.
Enter the COBB SALAD SANDWICH.
I bought blue cheese dressing recently. It’s been awhile since I had it. I stopped eating it when I was pregnant with Cooper and it took me years to start liking it again. The mind is such a weird thing, isn’t it? It’s back in my world again and I had to figure out what to do with a jar besides eat salad every night. So, I put it on a sandwich. This here is the sandwich!
We take the main ingredients of a Cobb salad (bacon, chicken, blue cheese, egg, tomato, lettuce, onion & avocado) and we consolidate and sandwich them between two beautiful crunchy/doughy pieces of toast. It’s a sandwich, it’s a salad it’s a sandwich salad of my dreams! I’ll have you know that we demolished ours in record timing.

Quick Mediterranean Salad
About a month ago Cooper and I were invited to a last minute playdate at our friend’s house on a Friday night. I offered to pick something up for dinner on the way over to their house and I inadvertenly created a salad that has become my new obsession. All it took was one very quick trip to Trader Joe’s.
If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s where you live, my apologies. Hopefully you’ll be able to find some of the ingredients/make some of them on your own or just use this idea as a template for a good meal at home or to take to work. Everything can be assembled super last minute. Just grab a few bowls and silverware and you’re good to go. There’s a variety of flavors and textures. So many good things in one bowl.
