Gold Potato Pie Recipe

Saturday April 30, 2011

Thin slices of gold potatoes are layered into a pie and baked in a bath of milk, heavy cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in this savory recipe. It is a nice change from the usual potato side dish and may be made in advance. Red potatoes are easily substituted for gold potatoes, if need be. If you want to jazz it up a bit, add some chopped ham or bacon bits.

Chicken Deviled Eggs Recipe

Tuesday April 26, 2011

A traditionally favorite appetizer, these deviled eggs get a boost of flavor from leftover cooked chicken, capers, and mustard. Deviled eggs are usually simply garnished with a sprinkle of sweet paprika, but I like to gussy mine up with slivers of olives, roasted red peppers, and tomatoes, along with fresh herb sprigs such as chives, baby basil leaves, dill, or parsley. Adorned or plain, these little gems are sure to please everyone at your next party.

10 Ways to Use Hard-Boiled Eggs

Monday April 25, 2011

Think about what to do with hard-boiled eggs, and the first thing that comes to mind is deviled eggs. Without question, deviled eggs are a universal favorite when it comes to appetizers. If you have old eggs to get rid of or leftover Easter eggs, consider breaking out of the box and trying something new. You should know that older eggs are best for hard cooking, since they will peel easier.
