Curry Egg Salad

So whoa. I have been really bad about keeping up with my blog lately! I was out of town for job interview/audition stuff, Will's been deciding which graduate school to attend (back to W&M!), and now we're trying to prep for our move and I'm finishing up school and....yeah. Whoa. Life is NUTS. Hopefully I can re-anchor myself in this blog just to have something to focus on despite the craziness going on around me. At least that's my goal!

Anyways, this is a great recipe to blog about to get back in the swing of things. I got this from one of my favorite food blogs, Pinch of Yum, and while I'm sure I could have figured this out on my own, it's always nice to try someone else's recipe at first. I know I definitely would not have thought to use a red pepper in it, which adds a little flavor and a lot of color! This egg salad turned out fantastically and I feel confident saying that because I have a coworker who already made it, after seeing me eating it in the office. I also was happy to make this recipe myself because I learned how to hard boil an egg! I know that sounds weird that I had never done it before and had to Google how to do it, but really folks-we all know I'm still learning some things! Obviously hard boiling an egg is pretty easy, but it's one of those kitchen skills not all of us have, which now I do (and so can you). Read on for this tasty lunch option!

Cooking Notes: She only used egg whites, I used whole eggs. She used mango-I skipped it. That's about it, but I have to say, mine turned out really good!

How to Hard Boil an Egg
Begin to boil water. Gently drop eggs into the pot of boiling water. Boil for 8 minutes, covered, and allow to cool. When you're ready to eat or mix the egg into something, carefully peel the shells off!
