We all have our OCDs, right? Some just happen to be more, ummm, quirkier (?) ones then others.
Like when I was little and had to use the bathroom, I HAD to lock the door, jiggle the door knob to make sure it was locked, and then peek behind the shower curtain to make sure an axe murderer/monster/sister wasn’t there.
And then there was the need to hold my breath and touch something white every time I passed a cemetery.
Not to mention my (still) OCD of rereading my favorite book series starting the first day of Spring every year.
Hey- don’t judge! We all have our quirks (some just worst then others 😉 )
And another mandatory quirk of mine? Having some form of green eggs and ham/bacon every Dr. Seuss day (which happens to be tomorrow!) And that means either having
2) Natural-Colored Green Eggs (and Ham)
OR:
BTL and Avocado Egg Salad (Paleo)
Ingredients:
4 hard boiled eggs
1 avocado
2-3 cooked strips of organic bacon, broken into pieces
2 medium tomatoes, diced
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Chop eggs into small pieces and set aside. In a bowl, use a fork to mash up the avocado. Add in eggs and the rest of the ingredients and mix altogether. Let sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour before eating (I think it tastes better when it sits, but I won’t blame you if you can’t wait 😉 )

I totally forgot that tomorrow is Dr. Suess Day!! Thanks for the reminder! I used to help put on a “Green Eggs and Ham” breakfast every year to benefit Reach Out and Read in Kansas City, the Friday after Dr. Suess Day 🙂 I will definitely have to try one of your green eggs and ham recipes this week!

That’s great! I used to do something similar to that too and then when I used to work at a preschool, we’d serve green eggs and ham on Dr. Suess Day (some of the kids were too afraid to try the green eggs though!)

As a former elementary school teacher~librarian, you have me curious. What is your favorite book series?
Posted by Deanna on March 1, 2015 at 11:10 pm
Hmmmm maybe I should have reworded that and said ONE of my favorite book series… I have so many! But the one I was referring to is Harry Potter… Not the most original answer, but it’s a classic for me 🙂

What a delicious recipe! I’m one of those folks who asks to hold the bacon, but everything else looks so inviting. And anything with avocado and egg–I’m in! Thanks for sharing Deanna! 🙂

Thanks!! And I eat it without the bacon all the time too (I always forget to defrost in advance!) It still tastes just as good 🙂

These look amazing! Cannot wait to try the deviled eggs – I miss them so much since having to give up dairy. Also, thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂

great healthy twist on what’s usually a mayonaisey nightmare. This looks like it would be a fabulous way to start the day. My OCD thing is straightening throw pillows. we all definitely have our quirks!

Thank you! I’m not too big on the mayo either.
Haha! My dog is always tossing around the pillows and I HAVE to fix them every time. It drives me crazy!
