Simple Deviled Eggs I am a minimalist when it comes to deviled eggs. Additionally, while I do appreciate all the deviled egg recipes that involve dyeing the eggs and adding all types of toppings and seasonings, just prefer a simple, classic deviled egg for my Easter spread. These simple deviled eggs are made with all the usual suspects. Mustard, mayo, dill, relish, salt and pepper and a few other things like hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. A little kick of horseradish if you prefer as well. What I think makes my recipe unique, is the method which I prepare my…

Continue ReadingChalet Appetizers I first came across these Chalet Appetizers on a tik tok account that I love to follow. The ingredients are so simple and you can make a lot of these for very little cost. What appealed to me in this recipe was the Worcestershire sauce. I used a lot of the Worcestershire, which my Mom did not like, but I did. The good news is, you can adjust the seasoning to your liking. I love the addition of the grated onion to this recipe as well. My recipe calls for Parmesan cheese, but you can really swap any…

Continue ReadingShaved Brussels Sprouts Salad Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad is a great party salad and also an easy, delicious lunch option. I have been making this Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad for years. Basically since the invention of the bag of already shaved Brussels sprouts from Trader Joes and Aldi.

I love that it is chock full of vegetables, a little fruit and meaty little pecans. I sometimes add chopped rotisserie chicken meat to this…
