Deviled Eggs

Mmm, classic deviled eggs!  The beau has finally accepted mayonnaise into his life, so I get to make more food!  I had never actually made these before, so I decided it was time to add them to my repertoire.

Ingredients

10 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tbs stone ground mustard
1 tbs fresh chopped chives, plus more for garnish
Paprika or chile powder
S&P

How to make Deviled Eggs

To boil the eggs:
Put eggs in a large pot with enough water to cover them.  Bring to a boil, and then remove from heat.  Cover and let sit for 13 minutes.  Then, shock eggs in ice water and let cool.

Peel and cut all the eggs in half.  Remove the yolk and mash with the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and chives.

Pipe yolk back into eggs and top with paprika and extra chives.  Enjoy!

Cream Cheese and Garlic Chili Hummus

Ingredients

1 14 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 oz cream cheese
2 tbs garlic chili paste

 

How to make Cream Cheese and Garlic Chili Hummus

While this looks like roasted red pepper hummus, it is so much more delicious and flavorful!  I made this for a Superbowl party and people just loved it.

In a tall container, combine all ingredients and puree with an immersion blender.  If you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a food processor, but will not be as creamy though.  Just be sure to add the oil slowly after all of the ingredients are pureed.

Garnish with some chili powder, green onion, and some chili paste to let people know what's in it.

I served this with potato chips and pretzels, but you can serve it with pita chips or veggies too!
