Egg Salad Sandwiches

In the spirit of colored eggs, even though we didn't have any, I thought this would be an appropriate meal for the week. I riffed on the Cook's Illustrated Egg salad recipe I used about a month ago. And it turned out well, as is to be expected. It made for a good quick simple meal that seemed very time appropriate.

Roast Chicken

Friday was nice out. Thursday night after watching the weather it seemed a bit silly to have roast chicken. So I thought, hey, I could make a chicken salad. So a roasting I did go. This was the last chicken I had from Fox Hollow Poultry Farm.

Roast ChickenI stuffed it was some lemon and a lime. I only ate some of the chicken skin (so not good for you).

After the chicken had cooled down a bit I shredded it. Made a pretty good chicken salad. I used the rest of the chevre, I petite diced the feta I had bought. Added some leftover relish, mayo and mustard and it was done. It made for a good dinner and will make for a good lunch as well.

Baked Potatoes

I had some leftover potatoes from last week, and decided we haven't had the fully decked out backed potato in a while It's an easy meal, poke potatoes with a fork, put potatoes in the oven, about an hour later... Anyways I think it goes with a general lazy theory for the week. Easy meals for the most part and cleaning out some leftovers.

French Toast (with Reichert's Dairy chevre)

So in reading an article somewhere, they were talking about a stuffed French toast, and I thought that sounded like a good idea. I don't remember what it was stuffed with but part of it was chevre. And this was a good thing. A short while ago Lois announced that her goat milk products should start showing back up in stores (after a far to long winter hiatus). So I was looking in the fridge and I remembered at the back of it I had some fig paste and I though hey this might make a good combination. So I slightly headed up the chevre, and the fig paste so it was easier to manage (a little time in the microwave). I added a little milk (should have warmed that a little to). I had this thick mixture that I thought I kind of should've stopped there, maybe added an egg, but I didn't. I then think I diluted it a bit to much. But be that as it was you could still taste the fig and a bit of the chevre. I think I need to work on this more, and maybe just start out with figs (I do have figs) and go from there. I should be able to buy some chevre directly from the source here in a bit. But I think this is a good start and tasted pretty good. As notes to myself I used ~2 oz of chevre and ~2 oz of fig paste. I was unable to use challah bread, like I normally would, because it was thursday, and I think people make it for the weekend.

Thai Style Sausage and Mozzarella grilled sandwiches

I say the Niman Ranch Thai style sausage in the case a while back, and picked them up. And with the mozzarella dream sandwiches I figured they could go together nicely. Anyways, it worked out pretty well. I should have cut the sausage a bit thinner, but other then that it was a good tasting sandwich.
