Cinnamon Zucchini Brownies #SundaySupper

Grab your hat and bag! This week’s Sunday Supper is going places!

cinnamon zucchini brownies
We’re talking about taking our meals on the go! Lunchboxes, brown bags, coolers and thermal containers, you name it. If its portable, bring it along.

I remember brown bagging it when I was in grade school. I usually had a spiced ham sandwich on white bread, dry, an apple or some kind of fruit or a TastyKake and a nickel for the milk machine. Lunch bell would ring and we’d line up single file and parade through the cloakroom and grab our bag or lunchbox.
Okay did I lose you yet? What’s a milk machine and cloakroom? Sorry, blame Liz from That Skinny Chick Can Bake for transporting me back in time for a minute! Thanks Liz for hosting and reminding me of a good childhood memory.
My guy still packs his lunch for work. He seldom deviates from fresh fruit, raw veggies, a yogurt and some cinnamon graham crackers. Maybe I can get him to switch his cinnamon crackers for these cinnamon brownies. Hey there are veggies in these too. Win. Win!

Avocado Egg Salad #TheSaladBar

Avocado Egg Salad

Avocado Egg Salad


Its the height of avocado season and what better way to enjoy these fresh ripe fruits than in salad at The Salad Bar?

The Salad Bar

Each month we gather at The Salad Bar to celebrate salad based on a common ingredient picked by our Salad Bartender, Wendy from The Weekend Gourmet !

This month it is avocado’s turn to shine! These fruits are available from California, Mexico, Florida, Peru and other countries at your favorite grocer or Farmer’s Market. Avocados are high in protein, beneficial fats like omega-3, Carotenoids, vitamins A and C. Good fat that is heart healthy!
I thought fresh hard boiled eggs and avocado would make a great salad. A few bacon bits and some capers round out the flavors.

Nowadays you can turkey bacon and/or lower cholesterol eggs and of course low-fat mayo and even mayo with olive oil if you like or need to reduce your cholesterol intake.

I wasn’t always an avocado fan. I needed to try them again as an adult to appreciate their flavor. I can eat this salad alone or with crackers, but I’m a sucker for stuffed tomatoes. This salad works perfectly for small Roma plum tomatoes. They’re even egg shaped, right? 😉

Avocado Egg Salad

    Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, hard boiled
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1/2 tsp bacon bits
  • 1/2 tsp capers, miced
  • 2 Roma plum tomatoes, seeded part flesh removed
  • 1 tsp light mayo
  • salt and pepper to taste

Mix together eggs, bacon, capers, mayo, salt and pepper. Fill tomatoes and serve. This goes especially well with a glass of lemonade or limeade.
