I am sharing an easy recipe for Sweet 'n Sassy Egg Bites that are great for a hike, picnic or cookout. With Memorial Day weekend just around the corner in the USA, it is a great time to start planning a menu for your picnic or cookout. Starkist Tuna offered me a variety of Tuna Creations that are lightly marinated and come in a pouch. I have a package in my desk drawer with some crackers for an emergency lunch or snack.
Hungry Girl's Sweet 'n Sassy Egg Bites
(I halved the recipe for our hike)
2 pouches of Tuna Creations (Sweet and Spicy)
1/4 cup reduced-fat/light mayonnaise
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion (I used less)
10 hard-boiled eggs, chilled
Directions:
In a bowl, thoroughly mix tuna with mayo. Stir in pepper and onion. Halve eggs lengthwise; remove and discard yolks. Evenly distribute tuna mixture among egg white halves.
Disclosure: I received Starkist product(s) for free, in exchange for my honest review. I only recommend products I've used personally, and believe will be good fit for consumers.
Did you say you might need a quick and easy dessert too?
These cream cheese filled strawberries taste just like mini cheesecakes!
The recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart. Last year, I added a blueberry to give it the red, white and blue theme for our Fourth of July picnic.
Recipe for Filled Strawberries:
8 ounces room-temperature cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 TB tablespoons confectioners' sugar
12 strawberries
Whip room-temperature cream cheese on medium speed until slightly fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 2 TB confectioners' sugar. Trim tops and bottoms of 12 strawberries to level. Use a small melon baller to scoop out tops. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip with cream cheese mixture; pipe into berries until it brims over tops.
Optional: Toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds in a 350°oven until golden-brown, 3 to 6 minutes; arrange slices over filling.
It was a beautiful day for a hike in the Catskill Mountains. We are drawn to the many beautiful waterfalls in New York state.
