6 eggs (Save 2 for the top)

1 jar Mayo

3 dime squirts of Mustard (I used Spicey brown mustard, and used a bit more)

then mix everything to a nice consistancy in a big bowl, slice the remaining 2 eggs on the top, and sprinkle with paprika!

Potato and Sun-Dried Tomato Au-Gratin

Well I got this recipe from Cooking Light . It was really good. Made it to go with Grilled Chicken I believe. Or any type of meat dish would be really good. I have a picture but it won't load it to the page for some reason. We had a lot left over so the second night we added some mushrooms to it and that was very good too. I think it could use more cheese, so load it up!
I only made 1/2 the recipe and it made a 8x8 baking dish full!

Soo good though!

Potatos

4 Potatos

Wash well

Slice potatoes into thin pieces into a frying pan with Little bit of EVOO

Add little Oregano, Parsley, and Pepper for taste

flipping potaotes often. I chopped them into little smaller pieces while cooking with the spatula.

Cook til soft, slightly brown.

Skillet Stuffed Peppers

I found this recipe on Cooking light and thought it would be a good one to try. It wasn't too bad. I think i needed to season the meat more, I used some Mr's Dash Seasoning to keep the salt down on the recipe more and i dont think i used it enough. maybe i can talk Brad into letting me make it again.
