Smoky Bacon Deviled Eggs


Deviled eggs are another great food divisor, either you love them or you hate them, there s not really an in-between. I suspect it has to do with the texture, as the creamy filling inside of a rather toothsome egg white will either woo you or send your lip curling upwards in distaste. I am in the lovers camp, firmly entrenched since childhood with no plans on leaving. Deviled eggs are my favorite cold appetizer and one that you don t see that often anymore. They have become rather passé, sadly, and ignored for other more trendy appetizers. So what can one do except pull out your 1970 s retro carnival glass deviled egg plate and serve up those babies in style? I love my egg plate. I love these eggs. Yes, sadly I embrace being passé. Give me retrolicious recipes any day of the week and I ll most likely have the glassware to serve it in. This was some of my collection three years ago when we first moved into our house. I had some of my nicest pieces out and kept some packed away. I wi

How To Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs


Confession time. Peeling boiled eggs makes me mad. Peeling eggs makes me so mad that my family usually runs away from the kitchen when it s time for me to tackle the task. I might have yelled once while peeling eggs, threw them back into the pot and walked out of the kitchen fuming, irrationally furious. Fine, you caught me. The above statement is a lie. It s happened more than once. Peeling eggs and having them look like a badger chewed them and spit them out makes me irrationally mad. Ask Mike. He runs away and hides when it s time to peel eggs in our house. Either that or he gently takes the eggs out of my hands, steers me towards the couch and tells me to sit while he does it. (I still hate that they look like a badger chewed them but at least I didn t do it. Rational, right?) I m sure that you can understand how this is a problem being a deviled eggs lover. Oh, I love a good retro deviled egg and a recipe for my smoky bacon deviled eggs is coming right up this weekend after I
