The first known reference to the term deviled appeared in print in 1786!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 stalk diced celery
1/4 cup diced onion
salt & pepper to taste
paprika

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will need 6 eggs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place eggs in pot, cover completely with cold water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from the heat, cover for additional 10 – 12 minutes, then drain. See step by step for doing this here under egg salad

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allow to cool then remove shells from eggs then cut in half lengthwise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carefully remove the yolks and place in a bowl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the sugar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the mayonnaise, mustard, onion and celery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the sweet pickle relish,  vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash and mix everything with a fork

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get a bag and tip ready

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fill the bag

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pipe the filling into the egg whites and garnish with paprika if desired

These egg rolls are not rolled but folded into little packages. Especially good when dipped in fresh buttermilk ranch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15 oz can black beans
15 oz corn
7 oz chopped spinach (canned is best)
6 oz Monterrey jack cheese
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 fresh jalapenos chopped
1 sm bell pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
salt and pepper to taste
package egg roll wrappers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sautée onions, peppers and jalapenos until translucent

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add black beans and corn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add chopped spinach and heat through

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grate the cheese and add to the filling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Season with cumin, chili powder and add salt and pepper to taste

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get ready to build the egg rolls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lay one wrap on your board and place a heaping tablespoon in the middle. Moisten the edges with water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead of making a traditional roll I think it needs to be made into a package. Fold it up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fold one side over then the other

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fry them in a skillet or a deep fryer on one side until brown

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flip over to brown the other side and drain on paper towel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make them until all the filling is gone. Whatever you cannot eat now can be frozen and heated in the microwave. It will not be as crisp though

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serve with buttermilk ranch dressing. Please make it yourself!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t they look good! They are really yummy! Check out the ranch dressing recipe here

The next time you have a pumpkin, butternut, acorn and spaghetti squash don’t throw away the seeds. Try to roast them instead for a very healthy snack

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 cup squash seeds

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt and pepper or to taste

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. You can line a baking sheet with parchment paper or stir every 5 minutes to prevent sticking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After removing the seeds from the squash, rinse with water, and remove any strings and bits of squash.

Pat dry, and place in a small bowl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir the seeds, olive oil and seasoning until evenly coated. Spread out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bake for 15 minutes, or until seeds start to pop. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet before serving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The nutrition of these little seeds is great. Squash seeds are rich in calcium and zinc. They contain nine minerals, 13 vitamins, 18 amino acids and three fats.
