Chow Mein

I LOVE me some chow mein! Its my favorite thing to get at Panda Express. I wanted to make a version of it at home that was a but healthy than what a restaurant would offer. Here is what I came up with:

1/2 of a small head of lettuce

1 1/2 c. chopped celery

1 whole small onion chopped

4 cloves of garlic diced 

1/2 c. soy sauce

2 tsp brown sugar

black pepper to taste 

2-3 tsp oil 

3 packages of YakiSoba noodles (buy any flavor because you will throw out the flavor packet and just used the noodles) 

Avocado Egg Salad

THIS, my friends, is one tasty snack. I was looking for something different to make that was healthy and somewhat cheap. This snack fits the bill. Here is what you'll need:

2 tbsp lemon juice

5-6 hard boiled eggs (chilled) 

onions

cilantro

pepper

salt or garlic salt

2 ripe avocados 

1 tbsp mustard (not pictured because it doesn't like to be photographed..... i used honey Dijon) 

Peel avocados and mash them in a bowl

Dice the eggs, onion and cilantro then add it to the bowl along with the salt and pepper (to taste), lemon juice and mustard. 

I didn't add measurements for some of the ingredients because it really just depends on how much you like. 

Mix it up til its pretty 

Spread it on your favorite bread and enjoy!! 

I use an organic multi grain bread that is sweetened with honey. Its the bomb diggity. AND I toast it first. YUMMMM....
