Finding Joy in the Journey

I loved deviled eggs. In fact, during summer picnics they are my biggest downfall. So, I decided to put a healthier spin on them (mayo free!) and to try them out at my oldest's birthday party this weekend. They were a hit! They were fairly simple....here's my take. Ingredients: 12 pickled eggs (do... Continue Reading →
