Two dozen deviled eggs are done for tomorrow’s big family dinner (about 30 people).
I am trying something different ... putting each half in a paper muffin liner. I have 2 egg carriers with depressions where the eggs go, but when people try to get them out, they slip & slide, sometimes go sideways & the filling falls out - it’s a mess. In the muffin liners, the eggs are easy to grab with fingers & they’re not slippery. If one gets messed up, it won’t slide into other ones & mess them up, too.
It’s going to be so cold tomorrow I don’t have to worry about keeping the eggs cold while we are in church - lunch is at two. Today, I bought myself a black long underwear shirt that I can wear with my 3/4 length sleeve shirts & stay warmer. The shirts are dad’s flannel shirts. I kept 3 I liked & my cousin cut off the cuffs & then hemmed the sleeves for me. I love those shirts & wear them all the time, usually over a T-shirt, but tomorrow will be frigid.
Stay warm!
I wore thermals under my jeans today. Top notch idea, so stay bundled up, and you’re most of the way there!
Your deviled egg idea is a great one! Have fun!
Great tip on the muffin cups holding the eggs.
Great idea! I have one of those Tupperware egg carriers and you’re right - they can easily become a snowballing mess!
For the 27th I am making the Crock Pot Mushrooms with Ranch - as requested by Niece Emma. Everyone in the family loves those; there are never any leftovers. I’ll also take the Cream Cheese cracker dip topped with homemade Red Pepper Jelly. Everyone loves that, too.
I did a Test Run yesterday of the Split Pea Soup in a Jar that I’m gifting the neighbors, along with the Candied Nuts and home-grown Popcorn - ‘Puffy Pop.’ The soup was really good - Beau Approved!
Crock Pot Mushrooms and Ranch
(I x this by 6 or 8 for 50+ people, use TWO crock pots for the cooking, then condense it into one for serving.)

Split Pea Soup in a Jar
(This actually fits in a PINT jar if you keep tapping the jar to settle the peas - I am also giving a can of chopped ham and I grew the Bay Leaves myself!)
