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.

Crocktober Day 3==> Sloppy Joes

  The leaves are turning colors and starting to drop.   In addition, the weather is turning cool and October is Crock Pot Month. So dust off your slow cookers and start using them to help get dinner on the table this month.     My slow cooker is a big asset and gets a lot of use over the fall and winter months.    When it is cold outside I use my slow cooker to make soups, stews, sauces, and one-pot meals.      Since school is in full swing, I can get my dinner going in the morning when I have more time.   Then, dinner is done when I am exhausted and this avoids the desire to eat out.    Crocktober is a challenge, to use your crock pot every day in October.    Although I will not use my crock pot daily, I will use it more this month and post several recipes.    Come along for the month and see what is cooking.    Day 3 Our third recipe is homemade Barbeque or Sloppy Joe....
