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.

Spicy Black Bean Chowder

Chipotle Black Bean Chili

For our Chipotle Black Bean Chili, we found the beans on sale for 79 cents a pound. In terms of nutrition, black beans are rich in protein and calcium as well as fiber. We used water instead of more expensive chicken stock, because the spicy chipotle will heat up the taste as much as you want. Start with just a little; more chipotle can always be added. So, ask your friends over for a game night and know that you’re serving up a winning menu! Serve with green salad and baked tortilla chips. Serves 12.
