Mama's Olovier chicken salad

Ingredients

6 boiled eggs

1.5 cup of low fat Mayonnaise

Fresh Dill (optional)

5 medium sized potatoes (I used around 20 little red potatoes)

1 jar of cucumber pickles

1 ready made whole rotisserie chicken (if you want you can cook your own chicken by seasoning two chicken breasts and putting it in the oven for 30-40 mins at 350 degrees)

S + P

Whole Wheat pita bread

Cost of groceries-> less than $20! (serves 4-5 persons)

Cut the potatoes into halves (you can leave the skin on) into a large pot of water. Put the pot on high heat so it can boil. Let the potatoes cook for 30-40mins (until soft). Cut up the boiled eggs into small pieces and then put it into a large bowl. Cut the pickles into small pieces as well (should make about 2 cups) and add to to the bowl. If you bought a whole rotisserie chicken, take all the meat off the bones and shred the chicken with your hands (it's a bit messy but its worth it!). If you cooked your own chicken, shred the chicken once it is cooked. Finely chop a handful of dill. Once the potatoes are cooked, cut them up into small pieces. Add all the ingredients  with the mayonnaise into the large bowl and mix it and mash it all up! 

Serve it with whole wheat pita break and sliced tomatoes and/or pickles. This is a perfect summer dish.

Got leftovers? Make a sandwich the next day! It tastes better when it's cold.

Bello Bella Fish Dish

I'M BACK! Stay tuned for more new EZ EATS recipes.

Ingredients

Fresh Spinach (a bag full)

2 fillets of Tilapia fish (any white fish will do)

2 Portobello mushrooms 

1.5 cup Brown/wild rice

1 Medium sized onion (diced)

1 Lemon

1 Garlic clove (diced)

Low sodium Soy Sauce (replacing salt)

Hoisin Sauce

Pepper

Sesame oil (optional)

Olive oil

Cost of groceries- less than $25! (serves 2 persons)

Marinade the tilapia fillets in 2 tbsps of soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, and pepper for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 370 degrees. Then place the fish in the oven and let it cook for 25 minutes (until the fish is flaky). How to cook the rice ->1 cup of rice = 2 cups of water. Add the chopped onions into the water and rice. Add a pinch of salt. Let the rice simmer for 30-40 minutes. (Optional- when the rice is done put a tsp. of sesame oil in the rice). Next, cut the stems off portobello mushrooms. Slice the mushrooms in long narrow pieces. Mix the pieces mushrooms with 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of hoisin sauce and the diced garlic.  Rinse and chop up the fresh spinach (remember->use a lot of spinach b/c it'll shrink when it is being cooked!) Add 2 tbsp. of olive oil and turn on the stove on medium heat.  Add the mushrooms to the pan. Let it simmer for 10 minutes (until it shrivels up). Then add the spinach. Mix it around until the spinach wilts and then you are done!

To make your dish look fancy, take a small bowl and put the rice in it (make sure its packed in). Then flip the bowl upside down onto your serving plate. Now you have a lovely rice dome.
