Deviled Eggs ($0.06 per serving)

Deviled Eggs ( $0.06 per serving) 
Deviled eggs are loved by so many people, but they are reserved for holidays, potlucks
or summer picnics.   This is one of my favorite things to bring to our church's coffee hour
because it produces a lot, is very reasonably priced and everyone eats them so I don’t
have to bring them home.   
Classic deviled egg recipes can be found all over the internet.  
For my recipe I started with the Food Network 
(https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/classic-deviled-eggs-recipe-1911032)
and adjusted it to our families tastes.    I hope you enjoy it. 
Ingredients: 
6 Eggs
¼  cup mayonnaise 
1- 1 ½ teaspoon vinegar (white or apple) 
1 - 1 ½ teaspoon mustard 
⅛ teaspoon Onion Powder
⅛ teaspoon Garlic Powder 
Salt and pepper to taste 
Directions:
Hard Boil the eggs and cool.
   

 Peel eggs and rinse under cool water. Dry with paper towel. Slice eggs in half
lengthwise. Remove the yolk and place into a bowl and mash until crumble.





Place the egg whites on a serving platter or storage container.

Add the mayonnaise mixture, vinegar, mustard and spices to yolk crumbles and mix.





Use two spoons to fill each egg white half.

If you wan tto elevate the deviled eggs then sprinkle with paprika or a sprig of parsley.


 NOTE
- Pickle brine can replace vinegar.  
- Mayonnaise can be replaced with a mixture of  mayonnaise and yogurt.
- For different flavors you can add bacon, avocados, other spices or fresh herb.

Menu Planning #132

Our meals need to be nutritious, clean, flexible, quick and cost effective. Between our work schedules and after school activities, we need to carefully plan our meals so that we do not end up ordering out.   The news is very scary at this time because of all the news of meat plants shutting down, grocery stories limiting the amount of meat a family can purchase and all of the talk about a depression on the horizon.    We have decided to keep our grocery budget the same, but to economize any way we can.     This week we tried to pick up some shrimp that was on sale, but the store was out of shrimp and not expecting to get any more in.    We were grateful to find wild caught salmon for the same price, so we picked that up instead for our Mother’s Day Dinner.    What did we spend?  Week 1: $96.44 Kroger: $96.44 Rebates: $3.55 IBOTTA: $1.35 Kroger Cash: $0.45 Checkout 51: $1.75 ...
