Deviled Eggs

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog25 Comments

We love eggs, as I’ve said many a time before, and deviled eggs usually show up on the holidays or any special occasion. This is just a basic version of deviled eggs. I have seen others that use relish and hot sauce, even one that was called a ‘Sanctified Egg’.

This is one of those recipes that I really don’t measure at all. I just add and taste. I’ve tried to get the amounts as close as possible but you can adjust them to your taste.

WARNING: Overindulgence of these could cause others to distance themselves from you later on in the day! Continue reading “Deviled Eggs” →

Boiled Eggs

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog10 Comments

We like eggs no matter how they are cooked. I love them in salads, deviled, and even pickled. All of these recipes call for boiled eggs though. That elusive boiled egg that seems like it should be so easy but can make even the calmest cook lose patience when the eggs refuse to give up those shells without making a mess of the egg beneath.

One of my fondest memories revolves around my mom-mom, my mom, and me in the kitchen trying to peel eggs. My mom-mom had her way to do it and my mom had her way. Me, I hadn’t a clue and we laughed so much at each of our attempts. It was a wonder that we managed to have enough eggs to make the deviled eggs that day!

There are a million and one, at least, ways to make a boiled egg. We can make them on the stove, in the microwave, in the oven, and I think there are gadgets to make the perfect boiled egg. I don’t know about all the other methods but this is the tried and true method we use here.

I recently found an even easier way to boil eggs using my Power Cooker. Check out this method HERE. Continue reading “Boiled Eggs” →

Brown Sugar & Honey Glazed Ham

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog13 Comments

This is a recipe I make once or twice a year. New Year’s Day and Easter are the normal holidays I make it for.

I try to keep my eye open for sales as ham can be rather pricey, so can the honey. You could add sliced pineapples to the ham before you glaze it if you like. Continue reading “Brown Sugar & Honey Glazed Ham” →

Mashed Potatoes

Mmmmm… I love homemade mashed potatoes. I use my hand masher to make mine but feel free to use a mixer, if you like. You can adjust the milk, butter, and seasonings to get these to your liking. Sometimes we use red-skinned potatoes and leave the skins on for something just a little different. We also like to add a few sauteed onions when we do this… yummy!

Need an alternative to mashed potatoes? Try these Super Yummy Caulitaters… many of our kids actually prefer these over regular mashed potatoes now!

Easy Collard Greens

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog11 Comments

A lot of times when I make greens I will ‘cheat’ and buy them canned. Every now and then I see them on sale or someone will stop by and bless me with a mess of fresh greens. They are so much better than the canned. Continue reading “Easy Collard Greens” →
