Smoky Deviled Eggs


Why this recipe?   The first time I tried these deviled eggs I was taken back by their flavor.  They're not the kind of deviled eggs I was accustomed to—they had no sugar added!  So how else could I flip this recipe if there's no sugar?


The Original Recipe:
  1. Includes high-fat mayonnaise
  2. High in sodium
  3. Made with whole milk

The Flip: It's easy as 1-2-3:
  1. Reduce the amount of high-fat mayo and substitute sour cream
  2. Cutback salt to lower sodium intake
  3. Substitute reduced-fat milk for it's high calorie counterpart
After boosting the flavor profile with herbs and adding a subtle smokiness, the result is healthier and delicious deviled eggs that cost only one WW point per egg!


My thoughts:  I used free range farm eggs for this recipe.  Store bought eggs can't compete with the beautiful yellow yolks, nutritional value, and incredible flavor of free range eggs.

I hope you enjoy this wonderful recipe just in time for Summertime!

  3. A betting system similar to Martingale will result in a crossover from superdiffusion to normal diffusion according to the growth of mean-squared displacement. Comparison between curves of different parameters exhibits that larger γ and lower α both will result in a higher chance of huge losses/winnings. The wagers obtained from random sampling of prime gamblers’ bets nonetheless current log-normal distributions, although there are some observable deviations. For video games the best-fitted model is a log-normal distribution, and for sport the log-normal 우리카지노 distribution is truncated at a most worth.
