I never followed a recipe for deviled eggs before, but this was close to my own concoction, so I did. Yes, very good, I don't eat sugar though, so I left that out. I also used Dijon mustard instead of just yellow. Read More

Coming from a long line of Southerners, this recipe is the real deal. I have always made mine with a little of this and a little of that, but they lacked something. I chose this recipe because the ingredients are closest to what my southern mom has always used. I followed the recipe to a T and these eggs were incredible. Read More
