Very Fast, Mayonnaise-Free Deviled Eggs

This recipe for deviled eggs is great for anyone who doesn't like or is avoiding mayonnaise.  These deviled eggs are pretty enough to put out for Christmas dinner, but also fast and easy enough to make for a weekday snack.  The method used to hard boil the eggs also ensures nice, yellow yolks--no unattractive green.  This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, etc...






No Mayo Deviled Eggs (Printable Version Here)

6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
6 olives

1.  Place the eggs into a pot and add enough water to completely cover them.

2.  Bring the water to a boil over high heat.  As soon as the water boils, cover the pot with its lid, and remove it from the heat.  Allow the eggs to sit covered in the hot water for 15 minutes.

3.  Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes.

4.  Once the 15 minutes are up, remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them in the bowl of ice water to cool.  

5.  When the eggs are cool, remove them from the bowl.  Crack the eggs and remove the shells, being sure to keep the whites in-tact.  To avoid getting "craters" in your egg whites, it is helpful to crack the egg all around the shell, and then roll it with your hand on the countertop, applying gentle pressure to the egg in order to loosen the membrane from the white.  Rinse the eggs and pat dry.

6.  Slice the eggs in half lengthwise.  Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.  Arrange the whites on a serving platter.

7.  To the bowl of yolks, add the salt, pepper, vinegar, and mustard.  Mash all ingredients together and mix well.

8.  Using a spoon, spoon the yolk mixture into the egg whites, dividing it evenly between all egg halves.

9.  Pat the olives dry and cut them in half.  Arrange an olive half on top of each egg in the center of the filling.  Serve immediately; keep leftovers refrigerated.

  1. Twenty years ago when I gave up Miracle Whip/mayo I made mayo most of the time but found myself more often than not out of homemade mayo so developed recipes without merely by adding the flavors associated with Miracle Whip as some vinegar, sweetener, dab of onion power, pinch of garlic, papricka, salt pepper, sometimes adding veggie oil. With tartar sauce we found leaving out mayo didn't change much in taste and we loved it.Recipe is onions chopped, chopped piickles, dill weed, small amount prepared mustard.

Why Did My Chicken Lay That Strange Egg? {Decoding 10 Chicken Laying Issues}

What do you got? A huge egg with two yolks in it?  A wrinkly misshapen egg?  An egg with a soft shell?  Or perhaps the all-inclusive just plain weird looking egg? Whatever it is, I hope to help clear up some of the mystery behind: Why Did My Chicken Lay That Strange Egg?

Soapmakers: Why You Shouldn't Use Vinegar if You Come into Contact with Lye

It was one of the first things I learned when I began making my own soap; I read it in books and on the internet: "Always keep a jug of vinegar on hand when you are working with lye.  Vinegar neutralizes lye." Soapers, have you heard this?  Do you practice the habit of keeping vinegar nearby when you make your soaps?  So did I, until recently, when I read an interesting post on a soap forum, and then decided to research the claim myself.

Homemade Tomato Trellises

Since we love homemade ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and salsa (okay, well I love salsa anyway), tomatoes have become one of our favorite garden plants.  It's so nice having some garden tomatoes in the freezer to cook with all winter long--say, for some good Italian or Mexican food. Since we use lots and lots of tomatoes, it means we must also grow lots and lots of tomatoes.  Growing so many tomato plants, we have always been presented with the problem of what to use for cages or trellises.  You see, tomato plants can grow to be quite large and heavy, which means that if you have no support for your plants, the fruits will wind up developing on the ground--leading to rotting, slug infested tomatoes!  There is nothing more disappointing than having to throw away half of your tomato harvest because pests got to them. Tomato plants that are kept up off the ground typically have better yields, less instance of disease and pest infestation, and are easier to harvest, so we definitely wa
