Not Your Mom's Deviled Eggs

Angelic Deviled Eggs

Definitely not your mother’s deviled eggs! An excellent source of protein, our version is much less devilish because we’ve replaced half the egg yolks with low-fat cottage cheese, and then blended it all together with a spike of hot mustard and a pinch of dill.  So dig in with a “devil-may-care”attitude…they’re heavenly! Serves 8.

Roasted Garlic

This is one of those appetizers that people forget about and think that it takes forever to put together, when in fact, a little time in the toaster oven and it’s done. Because it does take an hour to bake, make extra for flavoring in other dishes. Serves 8 as an appetizer.
