These eggs are hearty, savory and delicious. They come out best when the eggs are cooked at a low heat and scrambled while cooking. Add the cheese while the eggs are cooking slowly and cook as well done as you like them. They are delicious and easy! 4 ounces Mexican chorizo, removed from casing and [...]

For this recipe, you could easily add mushrooms and vegetables such as zucchini or bell peppers. It is even better, refrigerated [...]

Deviled eggs are great as an appetizer at Easter Dinner or a summer potlucks. I have been known to devour a dozen of these in one sitting. These were quick and easy. If you want them to be a little prettier, put the egg filling into a freezer bag, make a cut off of one corner of the [...]
