My Mom's Egg Salad

I have to say I LOVE egg salad.  Whenever I order some at a restaurant for lunch it's never the same as my mom's egg salad.  I don't have a picture of the egg salad sandwich, but the recipe is below:

Mom's Egg Salad Sandwiches
6 eggs, hard cooked and smashed (simmer, just below boiling, covered in water for 8 minutes)
In a separate bowl mix:
1/2 cup mayo
4 squirts mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
sweet pickle relish to taste if desired
salt and pepper

Mix with eggs and enjoy!

Home made fruit popsicles

And another summer post.  I found this recipe on Pintrest and I  can't for the life of me find the link to the recipe.  It's super easy!  Just cut up any fruit of your choice and fill the popsicles with white grape juice or any other fruit juice of your choice.  This is a great healthier treat for the little ones too!  I have to apologize for the pictures since it was taken on my phone.

Happy Summer!

Happy Summer!  Well at least on the west coast it feels like summer.  I swear we haven't had rain in weeks!  Sunny and in the 70's sounds great to me!
Because it feels like summer we decided to make some kabobs and a summer salad.  All we did was stick some steak, mushrooms and red peppers onto skewers and threw them on the grill.
For the Summer Salad I mixed together cooked spiral pasta, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, chopped green pepper, olives, cherry tomatoes and drizzle some Italian dressing over the salad.  YUMMY

Spicy Chicken Rigatoni

I was so excited that this dish was super easy to make since the premier of Real Housewives of New Jersey is on tonight.  I just had to get through cooking dinner, cleaning up, watching my husband's show and then it's just me & all the Jersey housewives!!!
This pasta has just enough spice and I love the peas (my favorite veggie) added to the dish!

Easy Chicken and Dumplings

Well I was excited for this dish because it requires little prep.  It was just okay.  First I was so hungry that I cut down the cook time and the rolls didn't cook all the way.  Tops looked nice and brown, but the bottoms of the buns were doughy.  Maybe i'll make it again.  It might be a good way to hide veggies for kids!

Aden & Anais Crib Sheets!

How many times have you purchased crib sheets and wash them a million times only to find out that they are not soft and will never be soft?  I feel like i've spent a small fortune trying to find soft sheets for my little guy.  He loves his Aden and Anais dream blanket and security blankets that he sleeps with them under his face.  I almost died when I saw that Aden & Anais just came out with their super soft fabric in a crib sheet!  Now they are super expensive for sheets (I mean all their other stuff is expensive), but it's worth it right?? 
Below is the link to Amazon.com where you can purchase these sheets!  My credit card is already out!
