Deviled Eggs

As I was looking through one of my many cookbooks, this old yellow newspaper clipping fell out. I thought how funny is that, because I was planning on doing a blog about DEVILED EGGS. We got into a discussion at work about how they like their DEVILED EGGS. This recipe from a 1950 4-H Club cookbook, on this newspaper clipping, is exactly how I make my DEVILED EGGS. My sister and my niece like their DEVILED EGGS with these same basic ingredients except they add sweet pickle relish to their recipe. So when I started looking at my cookbooks, and searching for DEVILED EGG recipes, I was quite amazed at the variety. I have only included a few of the recipes in this post.
