Zombie Jesus Day Lunch

I don't celebrate Easter, but it's an excuse to cook :)

I would eat deviled eggs, everyday, all day, but the people around me wouldn't survive. 



Deviled Eggs

6 eggs, hard boiled
1 tsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbs. mayo
1/2 tsp. brown mustard
1/2 tsp. sugar
chili powder
dill

Slice hard boiled eggs in half, lengthwise, and put yolks in a small bowl. Add vinegar, salt, mayo, mustard and sugar, and mash together with a fork. Once combined, spoon into egg white shells. Top with a sprinkle of chili powder and a small sprig of dill.



Goat Cheese, Shallot and Basil Stuffed Chicken Breasts

3 thinly sliced chicken breasts
4 oz. goat cheese
1/2 a shallot, diced
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
basil (as much as you like, i am a basil freak)
salt and pepper to taste
toothpicks

I but the thinly sliced chicken breasts because it's easier and less work to pound them out. Wrap each breast in plastic wrap and taking the flat side of a meat tenderizer, pound chicken out until about 1/4 inch thick. Take plastic wrap off and set aside. Repeat with remaining 2 breasts. Spread goat cheese on flattened breast, then sprinkle with shallots and layer on top with whole leaves of basil. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle rolls with salt and pepper. Place chicken rolls toothpick side down in a foil lined baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Let sit for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Honeyed Fruit Salad


1 container blackberries, whole
1/2 container strawberries, quartered
2 orange, peeled and diced
1/2 an apple, diced (i found these apples called cripps pink, AMAZING)
3 kiwis, peeled and quartered
grapes, halfed
2 bananas, peeled and sliced
4 guavas, peeled and quartered
1 tbs. honey
1 tbs. sugar
cool whip (i used french vanilla)

The amount of each fruit you use can be entirely up to you. It is nearly impossible to mess up fruit salad. Just make sure to try it with the guava, makes a whole world of a difference in the taste.



Roasted Asparagus

1 bunch fresh asparagus
1/2 of a shallot, diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tbs. olive oil

On a cookie sheet, coat asparagus with olive oil. Top with shallots and garlic. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Try not to slap the nearest person when you take it out.
