Deviled Ham and Eggs



We never really ate deviled eggs when I was growing up.  This could have been in part because my one grandma passed down a freaky high cholesterol gene to almost everyone in her path.  Eggs were evil.  They were only used for the occasional baking project and the annual Easter egg dyeing.  My other grandma had a phobia of anything containing mayonnaise - especially if it involved a picnic or potluck.  Where mayonnaise resided, salmonella surely lurked.  I know.  It's a miracle I turned out at all.


Down South, deviled eggs are brought to every occasion - Birthdays .... Thanksgiving ..... Halloween ..... Bunco...... Seriously.  They're a staple.


I love this version because they're colorful and look fancy enough to serve to guests no matter where you live!  And new research shows that an occasional egg is not going to kill you.  It may actually be good for your heart!



Deviled Ham and Eggs
By Rachel @ Simple Girl

6 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
3 Tablespoons Light Miracle Whip (or Mayonnaise, if you prefer!)
1 Tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup finely diced ham (1/8 inch cubed)
Green onion for garnish
Barbeque sauce for drizzling

DIRECTIONS:  
Halve 6 eggs lengthwise.  Remove yolks and place in a small bowl.  Mash yolks with a fork and stir in mayonnaise, pick relish and mustard.  Add in 3 tablespoons of the diced ham.  Put mixture into a quart sized bag and snip the corner 1/2 inch.  Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of mixture into each of the egg white halves.  Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon of diced ham and snippets of green onion.  Pour 2 Tablespoons of barbeque sauce into a a quart bag.  Make a tiny snip in the corner (about 1/8 inch) and drizzle the barbeque sauce on top of the eggs.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Butter Bean Soup

Happy New Year!  We are off to a cold start! It's so cold that the Governor cancelled school for the entire state! That never happens. Up here in Minnesota, when it gets cold, we just pull up our snow pants and pull down our hats.  In the South, they say it's not the heat, it's the humidity.  Up North, we say it's not the cold, it's the wind.  Windchill temperatures (what it actually feels like), are said to be -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the coldest it's been since 1996 - just shortly before we moved to Atlanta.  Hmmmm…… it's all coming back to me now.  Nevertheless, my 16-year old says it's a great way to start second semester! When it's cold outside, there is nothing I love more than making soup. Soup is the perfect excuse to stand over a hot stove on a cold day. You can hold soup in a coffee mug and let it warm your hands. You can sip soup in the same mug and let it warm you from the inside out. There's a reason for ...

Dr. Seuss Snacks!

Image
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.  I admit it.  I love Dr. Seuss!  A collection of these sing-song-y rhymes was the first thing I put on the bookshelves of our very first baby nursery.  Four kids later, I now have talents that include being able to recite The Cat In The Hat from memory! In honor of the late great Dr. Seuss (He would have been 107 on March 2nd) we are making these cute snacks!  Absolutely no skill or talent required! Simply start with a box of blue Jell-O..... and divide into four clear plastic cups. (The fish have to have a place to swim!) After the Jell-O has set, have the kids add their own fish!  (Swedish Fish, that is!) Ella's kindergarten class gets a Dr. Seuss party after they have collectively read 107 books! Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Groundhog Pudding Cups

Now that we are back living in The North, I'm starting to remember why, prior to my life in The South, I had only had a handful of pedicures and didn't own any sandals.  Exposing one's feet presents health risks.  Like frostbite. Groundhog's Day (February 2nd) is just around the corner. At this time, as legend has it, the groundhog will either emerge from its hole on a sunny day, see its shadow, get scared, and hide leaving us with six more weeks of winter, or it will emerge on a cloudy day, see nothing noteworthy and predict an early spring.  Sunny or not, a package of Pepperidge Farm Milano's was all the inspiration I needed to celebrate the impending season. When I first saw these cookies in Family Fun magazine, I immediately tore out the page. How cute are these groundhogs?  The actual assembly is a bit tedious, but the eager anticipation of the recipients makes it all worth while. Begin with some Milano cookies.  Use sliced almonds for ...
