Honey Mustard Eggs and a Spring Giveaway Winner

-
 
My Mom got me started on this experiment.
In Ohio they serve these mustard flavored eggs at restaurant salad bars and I have a brother that really, really likes them. So, Mom was trying to create them at home but wasn't quite satisfied with the results she came up with. We both didn't want to add food coloring but the color just didn't come out right with only mustard in there. I happened upon an article online that used Tumeric to color Easter Eggs. I thought, hmm, why not? 
So I tried it. Perfect!
 
Adds flavor, color, and health benefits. Win win! :) I also opted to use honey as a sweetener instead of the sugar that Mom had used. You know, for more health benefits, and because Honey Mustard in the title sounded more fun. ha
 
We eat a lot of hard boiled eggs at our house and everyone enjoys the red beet flavored ones. I like the flavor of these and my Husband gave them a thumbs up too. If he's happy, I'm happy! :)
 
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup champagne vinegar
1½ cups honey
1 Tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
½ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon sea salt
 
1½ dozen hard boiled eggs, peeled
 
I used the two different vinegars only because I didn't have 2 cups of white. All white would be fine.
 
Put all ingredients into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until honey is dissolved, stirring occasionally. (This concoction has a very strong flavor, but once the eggs absorb it the flavor tames quite a bit.) Pour over hard boiled eggs and place into refrigerator for at least a day, preferably several days, before serving. This gives the eggs time to absorb flavor and color.
 
Enjoy!

    Mmmm, I'm making these right now! :) My 4 yr old saw the picture and started begging me to make them..he loves red eggs and thought these looked and sounded so good with mustard in them. Had to use food coloring though cuz I don't have turmeric but hopefully next time I can do that.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
