Rose season ❤
Avocado + Dill Egg Salad (Paleo)
This, my friends, is a revelation. I’ve been crushing hard on avocados for months now, and adding them to eggs for a quickie egg salad snack was like a freaking thunderbolt out of the sky. Ridiculously delicious.
I ate inhaled this snack? lunch? heavenlygoodness? in a matter of seconds with nary a thought as to a proper serving vessel. But, if you’re not so inclined, some form of paleo cracker would do nicely – or mash up finer and stuff into egg whites for extra-delicious deviled eggs. Or just eat plain.
Paleo, gluten-free and Whole30-compliant.
Avocado + Dill Egg Salad
1/2 avocado
2 hard boiled eggs
1 Tbsp. fresh dill
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. Dusseldorf style mustard (or your favorite mustard)
big pinch kosher salt
Peel your eggs and chop or run through an egg slicer twice to get a nice fine dice. Add to a small bowl, along with the avocado, vinegar, mustard and salt. Chop the dill fine and add. Mash everything together with a fork or other mashing apparatus until you like the consistency. Enjoy.
Serves 1 – I suppose this can serve 2 if you’re not a glutton, but for me there is a zero point zero chance I’m sharing something this delicious. Or leaving any in the bowl.

Dinner prep on my new baby – a walnut & cherry cutting board from Gowanus Furniture with my DH and my initials in Morse code. This baby is my second favorite thing in my kitchen (my favorite knife is #1). It’s beautiful when not in use, delightfully geeky, and is going to last us a long, long time. A great anniversary present. And, it was made locally – so win-win.

The first meal made using ingredients from my new CSA (more on that soon!) – lunch salad with arugula, tender lettuces, cucumber, apple, scallion and chicken breast + tahini/Korean BBQ/sriracha/rice vinegar dressing.
Yum.
Photo Walk – Manhattan Bridge And Beyond – Part 3
Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve done any sort of photo recap (October’s trip to Rhode Island) and I’m happy to get back at it while the weather isn’t freezing cold or blazing hot. This past weekend, the hubbs and I walked the Manhattan Bridge – over to Chinatown, through the Lower East Side, back to the water, to the Williamsburg bridge, and back to Chinatown (where we caught a train back home – we were exhausted!). It was a beautiful day and nice to get out and stretch our photographic legs after the killer winter we endured.
This is the third and final part of our first photo walk of 2014. Parts 1 and 2 can be seen here and here.

And that concludes our first real photo walk this year. Hopefully we will be taking more soon.

Manhattan Bridge
This is a great bridge to walk – or run. I didn’t capture any, but there are many pro-running sayings and little affirmations sprayed on the ground all along the bridge. It’s one of my DH’s favorite places to run in the city, and now I see why.

Parts 2 and 3 continue next.
