Easter is just around the corner and I am already looking forward to my favorite use of dyed Easter eggs --- Deviled Eggs!
My mother and my son dye Easter eggs every year. They have been
dyeing eggs together for almost 30 years. Even though they are both
adults, they still enjoy that annual tradition and their fun time together.
They usually dye a dozen eggs or more so they can make several colors.
Many families use the dyed eggs for Easter egg hunts. Our family always ate the dyed eggs and used plastic, candy filled eggs for our Easter egg hunts.
After the pictures are taken of their egg dyeing "event", several of us will grab our favorite egg and eat it. I use the remaining eggs to make deviled eggs or potato salad.
I will share my potato salad recipe in a separate post, but today I offer you my very easy recipe for making delicious deviled eggs.
This recipe is based on using 1 dozen hard boiled eggs, which makes 2
dozen deviled eggs. If I have more or less eggs, I simply adjust the
measurements of mayonnaise and mustard accordingly below.
* I recommend tasting the egg yolk mixture before you fill the egg whites to make sure it is to your preferred taste. We use more mustard and less mayonnaise than many recipes. By comparison, BettyCrocker.com recommends 6 Tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon ground mustard for a 2 dozen deviled eggs.
Again, I am sharing my preferred method. I've boiled eggs for the last 40+ years by simply placing a dozen eggs in a pan of water, adding salt, bringing them to a boil, and boiling for 10 minutes. I let the eggs and the water cool in the cooking pan. After the hot water has cooled to warm, I dump out the water out of the pan and run cold tap water on top of the eggs (still in the pan) so they will completely cool.
For a dozen eggs, I use my
5 quart dutch oven pan
to boil.

Vegan chocolate bunny success!
I wanted to review the "No Whey! Foods" chocolate bunny for vegans while
there is still time for you to place an order and receive it by Easter.
Both my daughter and her husband are vegans. Finding good chocolate items for them is quite difficult since they don't use any milk or dairy products.
I wanted to send them a special Easter treat this year, so I went in search of a vegan chocolate bunny, which was my daughter's favorite Easter basket item when she was a child. After checking several stores, I finally found one that had a lot of positive feedback. I sent two chocolate bunnies to them.
My daughter said these chocolate bunnies were fantastic, better than any
she had ever had. She promptly sent her dad a picture of the ears
bitten off the bunny. Biting the ears off their chocolate bunnies
together was a father-daughter Easter tradition when she was a child.
I was so glad to find an Easter chocolate bunny made especially for
vegans. The chocolate bunny maker, No Whey Foods, has other vegan
products too. Now that we have discovered them, perhaps we will find
more treats in their product line.
I was searching for a chocolate bunny for vegans, but this product would appeal to others as well.
Ingredients
Based on my daughter's opinion, I would highly recommend the No Whey! Foods chocolate bunny.
