Deli Snack Bistro Boxes

Hey hey, it's Sunday and normally I'd be putting my best foot forward to get some meal prep stuff done ... BUT we just got back from a little 3 day get away and we are just exhausted!

I didn't get to the grocery store and don't plan on going today so I decided to make a few things up using what I had on hand.


Up first was these yummy little Deli Snack Bistro Boxes ....

By all means, feel free to say they look kind of like grown up Lunchables.

I'm fine with that.


I had the ham in the fridge (Costco) and the cheese as well (Costco and Trader Joe's). The hard boiled eggs are also from Costco. As I'm out of eggs at this very moment (I have TWO) I opted to go ahead and make these for a few morning breakfast options ... figured it might be a nice change of pace!

Here's what you need:

Ham (or lunch meat of choice) rolled up
1 hard boiled egg, sliced in half
4 to 6 small cheese slices (optional, I skipped out this time around)
Cucumber spears (I almost always buy the seedless ones at Costco, peel and cut in quarters)
Condiment of choice ... this batch has honey mustard dressing

I would suggest that you lay out some greens on the bottom, just because it's always good to have green stuff with your meals!


Add your ham to one side, then the cheese, then egg. nestle the cucumber spears along side and wedge in your condiment.  I realized I could have used some of my single serve guac packs if I had been thinking.

There you go: grain free, low carb and quick to put together! AND it will keep you out of the drive-thru for another few days!  Enjoy!

Looking forward to sharing with some of these GREAT Parties ... go check them out!

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
