Today is National Deviled Egg Day! One of my favorite parts of the holidays has to be deviled eggs, in particular……MY DEVILED EGGS! 

I like mine truly devilish, and EXTRA SPICY! In my recipe, I use cayenne pepper. Both powdered and in liquid form, along with spicy creole mustard for an extra kick!   I have a copy of “The American Every Day Cookbook” that I believe was shared by both of my grandmothers, as there are handwritten notes, and recipe adjustments in both of their handwritings, which is really cool. 

The deviled egg recipe in this book calls for milk. YUCK, and a few other weird ingredients that I would NEVER put in mine.  This book is an absolute treasure to me!  It sits on my desk, and hopefully one day, I will rewrite the recipes in it into a collection of my grandmother’s recipes so I can preserve them for Alex and her children.
