I am a hopeless clutz, that being said, if I can cook it, so can you!

Winter

It finally is getting colder out, and as my family and friends know all too well, it's my favorite time of the year! I love the cold and snow! It has snowed once or twice, but here is to hoping it'll snow this weekend! :) Happy Holidays to everyone out there!

Deviled Eggs

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been so long, I promise, it won't happen again! :) So for Halloween I tried to make a whole bunch of things, but I made a mistake, I tried to make things I'd never made before, all at once. So, obviously, they didn't all succeed, but one of the hits was the deviled eggs! Sorry for the lac of pictures, but they were gone very fast! It's a very simple recipe, just make sure to cook your eggs correctly and you should come out on top, although you may have to steal one before you serve it, cause they will all disappear in a hurry!

Time (including boiling and pealing): 1 hour
6 hard-boiled eggs
4 tablespoons mayo
approx. 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 tablespoons pickle relish
a small squeeze of mustard (about a teaspoon)
salt and pepper to taste.

Boil eggs for appox. 20 minutes, then drain and fill with icewater and more ice for about 15 minutes to cool. Peal carefully (the less mistakes, the better they look), then slice in half. Take out the yolks and put them in a bowl. Add mayo, relish, mustard, salt and pepper, and mash together. Try to leave as few chunks as possible, the smoother it is, the better it looks and tastes. Spoon back into the egg whites, remembering you added ingredients, so there will be more in there than you probably expected. If you aren't serving them right away, store in an airtight container, or on a ceramic plate covered completely with plastic wrap (on this one, overdoing it is good). They will be good for a couple of days, but best served within 24 hours.
Have fun with it too, you can add toppings, such as black olives, for holidays and events, or just something fun and cute for the kids.
