Deviled Eggs Recipe?
Do you have a recipe for deviled eggs, the old-fashioned way?
–Debbie
Hi Debbie,
Oh, yes, I have deviled eggs! They are a little “fancified,” so first I’ll give you my go-to bare-bones recipe for when I just need an old-fashioned egg fix:
Peel 6 hard-cooked eggs. Cut each lengthwise into two pieces and remove the yolks to a large bowl. Mash the yolks a bit, then add 1/4 cup mayo, 1 teaspoon mustard, and a splash of vinegar and mix together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves and dust with a bit of paprika. Delicious!
But do also give my Almond Deviled Eggs a try. I sometimes like to add a little bit of chopped chipotle en adobo to the yolk mixture for more oomph. And Blue Cheese-Stuffed Eggs are a nice, cheesy variation on the classic.

QuestionHi Gramma Betty - My ginger cookies tend to get harder overnight, and I'm still experimenting to try to get a softer cookie. What do you think I could do to give more softness? But what I was originally going to ask was if you had a good recipe for either ginger cookies, or gingersnap cookies? Thanks for your help! I love your recipes! --Your Adopted Granddaughter JoAnn :)March 2012

QuestionI want to pan-fry pork chops, fix dressing, and then just place the chops on the dressing toward the end of the baking time. Would you put a cubed apple or raisins in the dressing? Would you use mushroom soup or chicken broth for liquid in dressing? THANKS! --SusieMarch 2012

Lately I have had trouble getting the peel off hard-boiled eggs. I try to get the freshest eggs possible but the peel still wants to stick. Any ideas?
