Deviled Eggs?

I made deviled eggs today, and then I was thinking if I'm Pagan and don't believe in the devil I really should call these something else. Got any ideas?

I do think the eggs came from hell because I couldn't peel those suckers to save my life. Out of 7 eggs, not one would peel easily. Yes, I've tried all the tricks: use old eggs, use new eggs, add salt, don't add salt. I've tried them all and nothing seems to work.

At least they tasted good. I mixed up the cooked yolks with dill relish, finely minced onion, paprika, dried mustard, salt, pepper, crumbled bacon and a bit of mayo.
I didn't think to take a photo, but considering how homely looking they were, that's probably a good thing.

Nachos and Tostadas

Nachos


Tostadas

I made some yummy nachos with chips, avocado, red leaf lettuce, cheddar cheese and refried beans.

Then the next day I used what was left of the beans and made tostadas with corn tortillas and colorful little tomatoes from Trader Joes.  Simple meals are a blessing. And this could be made vegetarian easily if you got the vegetarian beans instead and left off the cheese.

Peach Cobbler and Cherry Cobbler

Today I made peach cobbler and cherry cobbler to take to the archery gathering tomorrow. But we couldn't resist trying it. I was being really good about leaving it alone but after my boyfriend cut it I couldn't resist any longer. And it was delicious. I only had a tiny bit of each though, with a bit of French Vanilla ice cream. Be very jealous.

Sprouts

I'd like to get back into making sprouts to go on sandwiches and salads, so today I picked up some flax seeds at the market. I want to write an article on it, but I want to try various seeds. So I'll keep you posted on the experiment. Or if you are good at sprouts feel free to suggest various seeds and methods.

Gingerbread Cookies

Yesterday morning I made gingerbread cookies. Then last night I made deviled eggs. And today I have beans soaking and a ham bone so I'm going to make a crock pot full of beans for dinner. My boyfriend isn't a fan of beans, so I think he plans to make stuffed grape leaves.

I thought I'd share the cookie photos. I love to bake, don't you? I got the scotty dog cookie cutter at a junk shop in Quartzsite AZ. It seems we had one as a kid so I had to have it.

A Boy and His Dog







Today I made some gingerbread boys and gingerbread Scotty dogs. The house smells wonderful.

Tonight I'm going to make deviled eggs. But I'm taking a cookie break.
