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 ...

Menu Plan #322

  NOTE-  1- Click on the picture and get a link to a post sharing the recipe.  2- Although all prices were correct at the time of the blog postings, the current cost of these dishes may be higher due to inflation and/or location.      Published September 2025:  USDA Thrifty Food Plan According to this plan, our family has a weekly budget of $190.50. Since  October has 5 weeks, our monthly budget is $952.50.   We elevate our dining experiences by including fresh fruits, vegetables, and higher-quality meats.  Since our family has specific dietary needs, we limit our consumption of highly processed food.   Grocery Shopping Tip:     Rethink lunchmeat.     The deli will provide you with thin-sliced meat or presliced deli meat, but you will pay a premium per pound.     ($6.49 to $15.00 per pound) However, if you buy a ½ boneless ham (unsliced or presliced), the price point will drop to between ...

Frugal Five: #133

  With inflation rising and salaries staying the same, our ability to make ends meet is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, we must be more careful with our money. The Frugal Five is a series that celebrates the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     This year, my focus is on Simple Abundance , so finding ways to live well while staying on budget will be challenging.    Come along and enjoy my journey of elevating joy, enjoying what you have, and finding luxury in my local area.    1- Giving Back to the Community  Supporting your community can take countless shapes. Some people choose to write a check, and that generosity absolutely matters. But many outreach efforts require more than funding—they need time, hands, and hearts willing to show up. I’m grateful that I’m able to participate in several programs that make a real difference for the people around me. One of the most meaningful ways I give b...
