Traditional Deviled Eggs

Traditional Deviled Eggs are as old as the hills in the South.  The traditional ingredients are mashed egg yolks, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper .  Garnishes are optional, but a sprinkle of paprika is a must. Deviled Eggs My deviled egg recipe is the perfect party appetizer. It is simple to make, easy to transport, and can be tailored for any occasion. My family is a huge fan of deviled eggs. They are present at all our family gatherings and holidays. So much so that we must make a double recipe to satisfy our sticky fingers grabbers before it's time to eat. Over time, the ingredients have expanded to include hot, spicy options and all kinds of fillers. It is easy to create your own variations. Our favorite is these traditional deviled eggs.   WHERE CAN I FIND THE RECIPE?  TAKE ME TO THE RECIPE FOR TRADITIONAL DEVILED EGGS Below, under the next heading, I give a list of preferred ingredients, tips, and cooking instructions for Traditional Deviled...

Easy Crockpot Mandarin Chicken

Easy Crockpot Mandarin Chicken is just what it says Easy!   I have been seeing this recipe circling around on Pinterest and knew I had to give it a try.  I did make a few changes to our liking.  It will definitely be making a regular appearance on our menu rotations. I love the ingredients in this recipe and added a few of my own.  I added onions and bell pepper to give it additional color and taste. You could add mandarin oranges or pineapple, but we prefer it with just the vegetables. Either way the flavors explode in your mouth, and you can't stop eating it. I also love the fact that I can make it in a crockpot.  I have always cooked most anything in the summer so using the crockpot for me is more out of convenience than anything. The one thing that I most favor about using a crockpot is you don't have to watch the stove when you cook.  You can go about doing other things while your meal is simmering away. Yes, the crockpot is...

A Delicious Dessert for July 4th! Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza

Strawberry Dessert Pizza , strawberries, marshmallow cream cheese filling and refrigerated cookie dough make a delicious summer dessert. I have been admiring a Strawberry Dessert Pizza recipe over at Mommy's Kitchen for some time now. She has a lengthy recipe index of yummy quick and easy desserts that look absolutely delicious.  You need to stop by and check them out. I finally got around to making it this past Memorial Day weekend for my grandsons. They enjoyed it so much so that I went to the grocery store and bought enough ingredients to make another one. I didn't have my usual pizza pan to make the Easy Strawberry Dessert Pizza in, so I decided to use my cast iron round griddle.   Like Tina, I started off with a package of refrigerated cookie dough for the crust. After the cookie crust baked and was cooling, I made the first layer to the pizza out of a rich, creamy mixture of cream cheese and marshmallow cream. The next layer...

Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti Pie is a delightful twist on a regular Italian dinner you serve your family.  As soon as I saw Lynn's recipe for Spaghetti Pie over at Southern With A Twist , I knew I had to make it.  She has a lot of people request her recipe, and for me, that tells me, it is a winner.  What drew me to this recipe is the ingredients.  They are as simple as mixing eggs, sour cream, mozzarella and parmesan cheese with spaghetti noodles, then spread in the bottom of a casserole dish. An easy meat sauce layered over the noodles, then topped with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.  How easy it that? The recipe make a huge casserole--way too much for just my husband and I, so the next time I make it, and I will be making it often, I am dividing it up in two or three pans. This recipe would even be great to serve for a fundraiser meal since it makes such a huge casserole.  Love these kind of recipes! My daughter's family came by just as I  wa...
