Avocado Egg Salad

Looking for an easy breakfast idea that's perfect for St. Patrick's Day?  Look no further!  Today I'm going to be sharing one of my favorite (and easiest) breakfast ideas.  I absolutely love avocado toast and was all over that craze last year.  I'm hoping that it's still going strong because I'm not getting over it any time soon!  This version is more hearty and filling, but every bit as creamy and delicious.  It may not be easy being green, but it sure is easy to make and devour this avocado egg salad!


1 hard boiled egg
1 avocado
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and Pepper
2 Slices of Bread



1.  Mash egg and avocado.  I used an egg mashing tool, but you could also use a food processor or dice very fine.


2.  In a bowl, mix mashed egg and avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and seasonings.  If you like the toppings more chunky, mix until all of the ingredients are just combined.  If you like it more smooth, mix thoroughly.



3.  Spread mixture over two slices of bread.  Top with more pepper and paprika if you'd like!


What are you doing for St Patrick's Day?
Do you also love paprika?  I have to say that it's one of my favorite seasonings!  When I was in Hungary a few years ago, I picked up a few of the little pouches of paprika you see above.  Our tour guide laughed at me and said one of those pouches wouldn't last a day in a Hungarian kitchen!
What is your favorite avocado toast recipe?

    I've made a similar avocado egg salad a few times, but always had it for dinner, not breakfast. But, I guess I've also been known to eat spaghetti & meatballs for breakfast, or a salad, so I don't think there's anything stopping me.

    PS. That little mixing animation is so neat!

    Oooh, look at you so fancy with that last image!! How cool! And I've never thought of pairing egg salad + avocado but the textures are so similar. It seems like a perfect match! Great idea and it looks delish!

    Great idea! I made avocado egg salad all the time for Callum except I skip the mayo completely and just smash up tonnes of avocado. He looooves it.

    Yum I love avocado and egg together! I love paprika also and am impressed you could save those Hungarian pouches for so long - I go through even the normal stuff so quickly!

    You know, growing up in Mexico, Avocado has always been one of my FAVORITE things to eat, we put it in sandwiches, tacos, eat it with rice, with soups, well, with everything! But the concept of avocado toast just baffles me. But I do love the idea of making it into an eggsalad...or a potato salad, or maybe on it's own, scooped out with a spoon... yeah... I'm hungry now! Thanks for the suggestion!

      Avocado is pretty much the king of all ingredients. It can be turned into anything! Magic.

Relationship Rules I Broke (and WEDDING PHOTOS!)

Image
Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have a different type of post to share today.  I don't talk about relationships or my dating life much on the blog, but I'm switching it up today!  I got married last Friday, and I thought it would be fun to share some relationship rules that I broke while Dan and I dated. I'll also be sharing some wedding pictures!  We got married at the Butterfly Falls at the Hidden Valley Inn in Belize (more on the Inn in upcoming posts!), and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing.  Since we had a "just the two of us" ceremony, there's not much to talk about the actual wedding.  In lieu of a full post on that, I'll be sharing some background information on our relationship, along with wedding photos and some #ThrowbackThursday pictures.  I hope you enjoy (and I promise- back to running stuff next week!) Guys are immature, so date someone older I've always read in magazines (which, by the way, have the worst datin

Towpath Half Marathon Recap

Image
Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'll be recapping my race this weekend, the Towpath Half Marathon.  Overall, I had a great experience at the race and would definitely recommend it!  Before I dive into the mile-by-mile recap, I just wanted to give some overall thoughts and reviews of the race as a whole. The Towpath Marathon features three races- a full marathon, half marathon and 10k.  All three races are in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, but all run different courses.  The half and 10k start at the Brandywine Ski Resort, while the full starts at the Boston Mills Ski Resort (where the expo is held). The course is mostly on a narrow crushed limestone trail that is relatively flat.  There are a few sections that were paved and a few small walking bridges that provided the only real inclines.  It's really hard to pass people (particularly near the turn where it's two-way traffic) since the trail is so narrow. There are a lot of water stations, and each o

Review- Group Power

Image
Happy Weekend everyone!  Today, I'll be doing a review of another group exercise I do at my gym called Group Power !  Let's get right into it. First off, the description in our program guide is "This 60-minute barbell program strengthens all your major muscles in an inspiring, motivating group environment with simple, athletic movements such as squats, lunges, presses and curls." I don't exactly look like this when I'm curling..but you get the idea! Let me tell you, this is one intense workout!  For the entire 60 minutes, we're constantly moving and lifting and by the end I'm a pool of sweat!  We work out all the major muscle groups - Legs, Chest, Triceps, Biceps, Glutes, Shoulders, and Core with light to moderate weights.  We also use a step to do exercises like chest presses and split squats. For each song, we focus on one muscle group, and do a variety of exercises with lots of repetitions, set to the beat of the music.  The tempo of the
