How to Make Homemade Deviled Eggs

Homemade Deviled Eggs

This weekend, let's make some homemade deviled eggs. Deviled eggs are great to eat with almost anything. I make them for our holiday meals, but they're also good with picnic meals as well. We often will eat them with other "side dishes" such as homemade potato salad, cornbread salad, and pasta salad as a meal in themselves. Oh! And great as a snack too! The best news is I do NOT use vinegar in my recipe.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • mayonnaise
  • dill pickle relish (may be substituted with sweet pickle relish)
  • yellow mustard
  • salt
  • pepper
  • paprika

Directions

  • Let's start by hard boiling the eggs.
  • After boiling, rinse the eggs under cold water and let cool for a couple of minutes before peeling (secret: don't allow to cool longer than a couple of minutes; eggs that are too hot or too cold will not peel easily; if eggs are too hot after 1st cold rinse and wait period, run under cold water for a few seconds more just before peeling each egg).

  • Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and spoon out the yolks into a bowl.

  • Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of mayo and 2 to 3 teaspoons of pickle relish (secret: include a bit of the pickle juice with each teaspoon; this will help with the smoothness and serve as the substitute for vinegar since pickles include vinegar in its ingredients).

  • Mix well. Mixture should have a smooth but slightly stiff consistency.
  • secret: higher moisture content in the air (such as rain, fog, or other high humidity) will require less mayo, so start with 1 teaspoon and add more if needed.

  • Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of yellow mustard (less if you like your eggs less sour; more if you like your eggs more sour). 
  • Add a dash of salt for flavor.

  • secret: if you add too much of the wet ingredients, just place in the fridge for a couple of hours to stiffen the mixture before spooning it back into the egg whites. Egg whites should be placed in the fridge, too, to preserve them while waiting. If you're going to pipe the deviled mixture into the whites, it's probably best to refrigerate the mixture for that purpose as well.

My deviled eggs are always the first to be eaten at family meals and family reunions. I hope you and your family enjoy them as well.

Love Never Fails

 After Saul (Paul) was converted from Judaism, in which he was a trained priest, to Christianity on the road to Damascus, he spent a few years learning how to be a better person for God's new work in Christ. After God prepared him, Paul started preaching the Good News to people in different cities. One of those cities was Corinth in Greece. When Paul needed to correct - or praise - some teachings of the churches that were established in these cities but couldn't get back to them right away, he would write them letters. One of these letters (often called epistles) is called I Corinthians in the Holy Bible.  The message I want to bring to your attention today is what Paul was telling this church about love. He told them in verse 16:14 to, " Do everything with love. " (NLT) The NKJV read as, " Let all that you do be done with love. " What a difference we could make in the world if we could all follow this beautiful advice.  In the same Book of I Corinthians 13:

New Elderly Tips

I have added some elderly tips  to my Senior Care Memoirs website. We all have a senior in our family, such as a parent or grandparent. Or we see elderly people while we're shopping. They deserve to feel respected and independent. So, I have added these new tips as some helpful advice. Watch for posts to be added to the Senior Care Memoirs site more frequently as new stages evolve in my senior family members' lives.  I hope you enjoy these tips and other upcoming posts. Together, we can figure this out. We're going to fill our blank canvas with helpful information. I won't be posting any future updates to the other site here, so you will want to bookmark it if you're interested in reading this type of information. Thanks for stopping by today.
