Thanksgiving 2017

Hello there.  Are you watching football and/or dozing on the sofa?  I'm as full as a tick, and I'd love to be snoozing on the sofa right now while the hubs watches football.  😴 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of good food and family time.  We had a very enjoyable day, and I ate way too much.  I do love all the foods of Thanksgiving.  My mother-in-law had turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry salad, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, yeast rolls, and pumpkin pie.  I made deviled eggs and a chocolate pie to contribute to the feast, and I think my husband's brother and his wife made brownies.  I don't think anyone left the table hungry.  😉

  I thought I would share these recipes here on the blog.  

I think deviled eggs are kind of a staple at family gatherings.  For years I made mine the same, boring way -- just mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper combined with the cooked yolks for the filling.  My mom found this recipe several years ago in a small community newspaper.  She shared the recipe with me, and this is now my go-to recipe for deviled eggs.  Hal and I like these, and I've gotten several compliments on them.

I prefer to use light or low-fat sour cream in this recipe, but regular sour cream is fine, too.  I just double the recipe when I'm taking these to a family meal.  For years, I couldn't peel boiled eggs without destroying some of them.  It was so frustrating, and I hated to make deviled eggs.  Now I boil the eggs for 12 -13 minutes, then put them straight into a pan of ice water for about 5 minutes.  At that point, I rinse them under the faucet and peel them right away.  I hardly ever make a mess of the deviled eggs anymore, and Hal doesn't have to listen to my grumbling.  ;)

I'll share the chocolate pie recipe tomorrow.  Thank you so much for your visit and have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Denise
