Deviled Eggs

Nothing pleases my husband more than Deviled Eggs. Well, except another NewEgg.com delivery, maybe. Deviled eggs are a classic American appetizer, high in Vitamin B-12, riboflavin and Vitamin A, as well as essential amino acids and Omega 3 fatty acid. While high in cholesterol, this

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

I like brussels sprouts, usually loaded with buttter and salt. I’m always looking for new vegetable dishes or new ways to cook the classics. This Brussels sprouts with bacon recipe makes an excellent addition to your Holiday spread. I usually make these on Thanksgiving. They’re
