Incorporating eggs into every day foods and beverages is an easy and inexpensive way to increase high quality protein in your diet. My favorite way to eat eggs is deviled. Every week I buy a dozen medium eggs just to make Deviled eggs. The size of the eggs is not important, but the medium size happen to fit perfectly in my Deviled egg keeper and I can eat a half in one bite.
Today’s busy life style seldom allows time to prepare special, nutritious meals, so most people resort to supplement drinks or bars. Athletes in particular struggle to fit in work or school, social life and other obligations, and extensive workout routines, and for some finding foods that provide enough calories and protein is a problem. Besides, since most of the available supplements are sweet, there is often flavor fatigue involved after only a few weeks of taking them.
Why Deviled eggs?
I’m not sure where the name came from, and I always called them stuffed eggs, the name we still use now. I figured I didn't need to give my daughters and grandsons any ideas they hadn't already come up with by themselves.
Deviled eggs aren’t just a party food. I like to use them for snacks and small meals paired with a whole grain bread or cracker and vegetable. Once you find the right container they keep well and last for up to a week refrigerated at 41°F. But, I bet they won't last that long. Try them for school lunches and you'll be the most popular mom at school. My children and their friends always thought that only sweet treats came in small bite size finger foods, so imagine their thrill and their friend’s wonder when they unpacked a bunch of “treats” for lunch. Now I make sure I have them available every weekend when our friends drop by. Maybe that's why they drop by, for my Deviled eggs!

- Cut hard cooked eggs in half lengthwise and carefully pop out the yolk. If it gets stuck use a small teaspoon to pry out without breaking the whites. Arrange the whites cavity side up and sprinkle a small dash of salt and pepper over them – I like to use a salt and pepper grinder on the coarsest setting.
- Mash the yolks with a fork then again with an upside down teaspoon to break any lumps. Mix mayonnaise, your favorite prepared mustard, Cayenne, Chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and oregano. It’s best to add these to your own taste, as I like my food very spicy and some of you might not.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper – you can’t forget the pepper! Add the dressings and seasonings mixture to the mashed yolks, mix well. It should be thick and hold its shape, but not too dry.
- Stuff each egg using two teaspoons, one to scoop and drip, and the other to scrape the mixture inside the cavity.
My favorite way of eating eggs is paired with cherry or grape tomatoes.
