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.

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.

What are good ideas for healthy treats to bring to school?
mama2
This is my son's first year of school and his teacher asks that when treats are brought in, they are healthy for the most part. No cupcakes, etc. My son's first day to bring a snack to school is next week and I can't think of anything creative for him to bring. Someone already brought the 'butterfly' treat, where you place a clothespin between a ziploc bag of snacks. Are there any other ideas anyone has used before or knows of that are healthy and cute? Thanks!
Answer
Kids are so cute at this age!!! Here are some ideas you might find acceptable:
1. Jello shapes: the original recipe is on their website, but it calls for a couple of boxes of jello and about half of the liquid. This makes an extra stiff batch that holds up well when cut in shapes with cookie cutters. Serve with animal crackers and whipped cream.
2. Rice krispy treats: you can make these using puffed brown rice and granola. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and add mini chocolate chips or craisins as an extra treat.
3. Ice cold orange sections with a drizzle of raspberry syrup
4. Nutella spread on whole wheat bread and cut with cookie cutters
5. Trail mix baggies, ties with rafia
6. Celophane bags filled with mini box of raisins, M&M's, peanuts, and granola
7. String cheese and bread sticks or pretzel sticks tied with a piece of fruit bark.
8. Mini bagels spread with lowfat cream cheese and sprinkles with cinnamon
9. Baked potato or vege chips with lowfat ranch dressing
10. Fresh fruit parfaits: small plastic cups layered with non-fat strawberry yogurt, granola, fresh fruit
11. Fresh veges and dip: cucumbers, grape tomatos, mini carrots, jicama, brocolli florets and ranch dressing.
12. Mini peanut butter cookie sandwiches filled with nutella and raisins
