These might be the one of the yummiest cutlets I’ve had. It is a great combination of subtlety spiced ground chicken with vegetables. This dish is a meal in itself with the perfect combination of vegetables, carbs and protien. It is a hot favorite with both the kids and adults in our house.

This is a great egg salad. I love a good egg salad and I just love avocados – so I mixed the two together and got a wonderful egg salad with avocado! The avocados really pack a healthful punch into this egg salad.
