I discovered these monster truck, wheel size donuts at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk the other day, how lucky am I?!

Deviled Eggs

The simple, deviled egg made from no less than my children Easter eggs. This is the only way I can get them to eat the colorful, lonely eggs at this point. Now, I am not going into how to boil an egg. I will leave that up to your expertise or Martha Stewart. Here is my rendition of the deviled egg.

6 boiled eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon diced chives + 1 teaspoon diced chives for egg topping
1/8 teaspoon tabasco sauce

Peel eggs under cold, running water. Dab dry on paper towel and slice eggs lengthwise.
Scoop egg yolk out of halves and mash together in bowl with mayonnaise, mustard, salt and tabasco sauce. Dice chives and fold into egg mixture. Spoon approximately one tablespoon into each egg half. Top off each filled egg with remaining diced chives.

Reversible Cherry Red Apron

I love to cook. Every cook has to have a cool apron. Not just one but as many as possible! Vintage aprons spark our memories of our mothers and grandmothers. A day long ago when many women did stay home and cook for their families. Lots of warm memories go along with an apron. I’ll be posting lots of pictures of aprons I make or vintage aprons I find at tag sale.

Mix all ingredients until smooth. Roll into 1″ balls and put on ungreased cookie sheet. Have a small glass of water and a fork ready. Dip the fork in water and press dough twice to make tic, tac, toe marks. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool on rack.
