Scotch Eggs
Serve hot or cold
6 hard boiled eggs
1 lb. spicy sausage meat
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 C flour, divided
1 C breadcrumbs
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. paprika
2 eggs, beaten

oil for frying
Makes 6 Eggs

Peel the eggs and set aside. Mix sausage and spices in a small bowl. Divide sausage into 6 equal portions, set aside. Mix breadcrumbs with salt, pepper and paprika, set aside.

Dry each egg with a paper towel, then roll lightly in flour to coat. Take one portion of sausage and using hands, shape a coating around the hard boiled egg, completely enclosing it (see photos). Roll in flour again, then dip in beaten egg then roll in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with remaining eggs.

Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a large skillet. Fry eggs, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels. Let cool slightly before serving. To serve, cut each in half and serve with some good mustard.

Veggie Tortilla Wraps
1 (9") flour tortilla
2 thin slices cheese (Monterey Jack or Swiss is good)
1/2 avocado, sliced thinly
1/3 C leftover grilled vegetables (like zucchini, mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc.)
1 large lettuce leaf
2 T balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Serves 1 (multiply by the number you are making)

Place lettuce leaf across the middle of the tortilla. Top with cheese, avocado and grilled vegetables. Sprinkle with dressing. Fold egg-roll style, tucking in sides as you roll.


Cilantro Tomato Pasta Salad
1 cucumber
1 C ripe red tomatoes, diced
1/2 C red onion, finely chopped
2 T fresh lime juice
1 T cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 C dry small shell pasta, cooked and drained
Serves 4

Peel the cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently scrape away the seeds. Cut in half again lengthwise and dice the cucumber. Place cucumber, tomato, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl with pasta. Toss gently. Transfer to a serving bowl; chill at least 15 minutes before serving.

Anyone got a cool Sandwich recipe?

Lately I've found my sandwiches boring. I only use meat (usually ham or turkey), mayo, and bread. If you guys could help me out and give me some recipes for my school lunches it would help. It needs to be easy also, because I need to be able to make it the night before. Oh, and I don't like pita bread. It just tastes funny to me, sorry.
Thank you guys for your help!
