Perfect Egg Salad is a delicious and simple recipe that is packed with protein and easy and quick to prepare. Â Making the perfect lunch or mid day snack.
Growing up I was an extremely picky eater and there were only a handful of recipes my Mom could make that I would actually eat. Â One was my Mom’s egg salad. Â Mom would toast up a couple of slices of Wonder bread, yep Wonder bread and heap a huge pile of egg salad in between the toast. Â I was a skinny thing {oh back in the day} and she was probably trying to get as many calories in my mouth when I would sit long enough to eat. Â I would gobble up those sandwiches as fast as I could, usually eating so fast I would get a stomach ache.
I find it amazing how food brings back very specific memories back to me, where I was when I ate it how I felt. Â I can close my eyes and be back in a memory all because of how the food made me feel.
When my hubby asked me if I would make some egg salad, you know who I called, Mom. Â When I asked she didn’t have to look it up because she doesn’t have it written down, she just goes from memory. Â The way most family recipes are remembered.
Do you have a recipe that you enjoyed as a kid and make for your family now? Â What is it, and do you have as vivid memories as I do when you think of enjoying that recipe as a kid?
