Food for Thought : Wishing Everyone a Happy Easter

      This weekend many of us  will celebrate  Easter . No matter  what you have plan to have  on your menu , one staple most likely  to be seen on your  table is eggs . They are reasonable price , versatile  and make  a great addition  to your  family's meal plans . Eggs are a natural source of high-quality protein  and many other nutrients  . Containing only 70 calories , eggs can be a great way to help you meet  a variety of nutrient needs.       One egg has about 30 milligrams  of heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids . Also , nutrition research suggests  eggs can play a role in weight management  , muscle strength , healthy pregnancy  , brain function , eye health  and more . here are a few tips  to help you enjoy   eggs this week :
      The color of the shell is simply a color . The color of an egg  is determined  by the bred of hen  that laid the egg . Shell color is not an indicator  of health  , flavor  or  quality .
      Eggs are graded  according  to the United States  Department  of Agriculture  {USDA} guidelines . Grade AA and Grade A indicate  that the eggs  have a thick white , yolks  are free from defects  and eggs have clean shells . These are eggs  you will find  in grocery stores . Lower grade eggs  are usually reserved for industrial use .
      Make  sure you purchase  eggs before  the "sell-by" or "expiration" date on the carton . Once you  get the eggs  home , place them in the coldest part of the refrigerator , not the  door . For best quality , use eggs  within three to five weeks  of  the date you purchase  them .
                                                               Devil Eggs with Bacon 
Prep/Total Time: 30 minutes            Makes   24 servings

12       hard-cooked eggs
1/3      cup mayonnaise
3         bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
3         tablespoons finely chopped red onion
3         tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1/4     teaspoon smoked paprika

Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; set whites aside. In a small bowl, mash yolks. Add the mayonnaise, bacon, onion and relish; mix well. Stuff into egg whites. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with paprika.



Happy Easter

  1. Very nice Easter Card HB
    We love eggs in our family. So nutritious, we always encourage the kiddies to eat them. your recipe is a wee bit different from mine, so I'll try it.
    Have a lovely Easter with the family. Hope the rain stops so the bunny doesn't have to hide the eggs under water.
    Hugs and a kiss

  2. Thank you very much my dear Lady ,
    All the Easter eggs we will have , there will be deviled eggs and egg salad , my grands love both .
    We had rain Wednesday night , the weatherman said it will be clear and nice Easter Sunday , we are keeping our fingers crossed .
    Nee , Gil and my grands has gone shopping for last minute stuff . I have no idea what they need , I bet Gil and Nee will be too exhausted people.
    I am so glad you took my advice on the letter ssubject . You can write as much as you want at a time , that is a better way to keep in touch . I also recommend to take it slow and easy , not try to stay on all night , that also tires you out . .
    I love your Easter posts on the sites .
    Hugs and love
    HB

    PS: Check the sites for comments this evening from Nee and my grands .
