FREE BLANK RECIPE CARDS in some Fun Designs

Yes, I've been a bit remiss in posting lately - trust me, I'm still eating but I haven't tried out any new recipes lately - I've been working on a Martini Book, redesigning my website and doing my regular graphic design which has kept me pretty busy. I'm also in the process of upgrading ALL my recipe cards (over 300 recipes!) for better print quality - whew!

I just wanted to remind you that I have a bunch of really cute Blank Recipe Cards that you can download and print out for your own recipes or download a bunch and give them as a gift. These would make nice Mother's Day Gifts by the way - if you're a little short of cash - just print them all out (you can print 4 on one sheet of card stock), wrap them in a pretty ribbon and give them to your Mom!

You can find them at my Recipe Archives Page on PopArtDiva.Com. Look for the link that says "Blank Recipe Cards". I'm always adding new ones so keep checking back.

In the meantime, try out some of the recipes I've already posted here and check out my Martini Recipes at TheMartiniDiva.com

ST. PATRICK'S DAY APPETIZERS - Green Deviled Eggs

Download the full sized 5x3 recipe card in print quality here

If you love Deviled Eggs here's a way to take the Easter Bunny out of them and hand them over to St. Patrick - you turn them green! It's simply a matter of adding a bit of green food coloring to your favorite Deviled Egg Recipe.

The Irish Green Deviled Eggs above are my mother's recipe for deviling eggs. You'll notice I say mayonnaise OR Kraft Salad Dressing? That's because my mother always used Kraft Salad Dressing wherever a recipe called for mayo! Don't ask me why - all I know is I grew up with deviled eggs, potato salad, macaroni salad and sandwiches full of Kraft Salad Dressing! To this day I still prefer the Kraft on turkey sandwiches but have gone with my wonderful Best Foods (aka Hellman's on the East Coast!) Mayonnaise for most everything else.

Whichever you prefer, you'll have some fun coloring the eggs - you can color both the egg yolk mixture and the egg whites or just the egg yolk mixture. Either way you'll get some green to balance out the "divil".

WHY ARE THEY CALLED "DEVILED EGGS"?

If you're wondering how Deviled Eggs got their name here's a quick explanation from the Oxford Companion to Food:

Devil: A culinary term which first appeared as a noun in the 18th century, and then in the early 19th century as a verb meaning to cook something with fiery hot spices or condiments. The term was presumably adopted because of the connection between the devil and the excessive heat in Hell.

There is also mention of spicy stuffed eggs in Rome as early as the 13th century and Apicius mentions "boiled eggs . . seasoned with broth, oil, pure wine" in Cooking and Dining in Imperial Rome. Remember, Gaul was invaded and occupied by Rome so it's possible our Irish ancestors were eating their version of "deviled eggs" centuries ago!
