A Little About the Recipe: Keto Easy Egg Salad

Keto Easy Egg Salad is a recipe to make up and leave in the fridge for work lunches; although it’s nice for a quick snack as well. Gather some lettuce, celery, cucumber and a nice big dollop of egg salad for a nice, easy lunch.

This recipe didn’t quite make full paleo or whole30 because of the smidgeon of Dijon mustard in the mayonnaise and, then again, in the egg salad. However, it is only a smidgeon, so if you aren’t so strict with the paleo, this will work for you. Keto and Atkins’, have no such Dijon mustard restrictions and, while the carb counts, both net and total, aren’t at nought/zero, they aren’t so far off either and it is coming from the eggs. This makes Keto Easy Egg Salad an allowable recipe for Atkins’ Induction as well as Maintenance and might make a bit of change from plain boiled eggs. The only point Atkins’ dieters might need to take into consideration is the fat over protein content.

A Little About Us: Alex, Carl, Isla and Taran

My kids are back at school.

Let’s just let this sink in…

The kids have gone back to school.

I vacuumed my rug without screams of “Hoover Monster!” echoing in my ears. Afterwards, I cleaned and organised my mess of a washroom without needing to accommodate any unhelpful help.

I made a start on my Teach English as a Foreign Language Course, which will, hopefully, be my new career in a few months.

I went to a shop, and very leisurely browsed the offerings. I didn’t have to divert to the chocolate section due to “Chocolate, Mummy!”. I didn’t have to hustle outside before a tantrum entered into full swing. I didn’t have to fight on the front lines of an epic battle to pick and choose what I needed. I got what I desired for my Easy Egg Salad and nothing more.

I made this for my husband, so he had a keto lunch to take to work and shift those extra ‘lock-down’ pounds, but it’s paleo-ish as well. The only non-paleo ingredient is the Dijon mustard, so it depends how strict you are.

Now, I am wondering whether I can go and get the kids back home a bit early from the after-school club because I am missing them. In fact, I think I will. Never satisfied, me!
