THANKSGIVING RECIPE! - Classic Deviled Eggs

I know it's spur of the moment, and most of you already know how to make creamy delicious deviled eggs, but I thought I'd throw out exactly how I like to make mine in case you just can't seem to find that perfect blend of ingredients. I'm not giving myself a pat on the back (oh, who am I kidding, yes I am), but my deviled eggs are simply amazing and I hope you can take my mixture and enjoy with your family!

~Ingredients~

12 eggs, hard boiled
1/3 cup + 1/8 cup (2 Tbsp.) of Miracle Whip
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp. dill pickle relish
1 tsp. dill pickle juice
4-5 drops Tabasco Sauce
splash of yellow food coloring

~Directions~

1. Cover eggs with plenty of water and bring to a boil.
2.  Boil for 3 minutes.

3.  Turn heat off and COVER, for...

 4.  20 minutes haha.

 5.  In the meantime, fill a bowl full of ice water.

 6.  When the eggs are finished boiling, used a slotted spoon to drop them into the ice water (The slotted spoon is to ensure hot water isn't transferred).

 7.  Peel eggs under cold water.

 8.  Split in half vertically.

 9.  In a medium bowl, remove egg yolks and mash into a fine powder with a fork.

 9.  Add all of the ingredients and mix well.

 10.  Spoon mixture into the empty hard boiled eggs and garnish with your favorite spices.  My personal favorites are dill weed, paprika, and celery seed.  Be sure to leave some plain in case some guests aren't fond of your spice selection.

ENJOY, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!!

SPOOKY FOOD - Bloodshot Zombie Eyeball Deviled Eggs

I went to an amazing bonfire on Sunday and not only was the fire itself epic,

Notice the size of Eric, and the size of his fire...

but so was the food!  Virginia Woolf once said, "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."  Needless to say everyone who attended the bonfire thought, loved, and slept very, very well.  For my contribution, I decided to be a little gross by creating BLOODSHOT ZOMBIE EYEBALL DEVILED EGGS. These ominous oculars were such a hit that I was dragged off of my cozy hay bale next to the fire by the arm to recite the recipe to two total strangers who demanded to know how they were made. The combination of ingredients must be just right! Rather than use any exact measurements, I will let you adjust the ingredients based on your own likes and dislikes and simply tell you what I put in mine.  THESE ARE PERFECT TO MAKE WITH YOUR GRADE-SCHOOLER FOR A HALLOWEEN PARTY!

~Ingredients~

Hard boiled eggs, cut in half length-wise, yolks removed and put in separate dish

Miracle Whip

Worcestershire sauce 

Yellow mustard

Dill pickle relish

Celery seed

Salt

Blue food coloring (blue + yellow = green)

Black olives, cut in half length-wise (for pupils)

Red decorating gel (for bloodshot squiggles)
