Eat Skinny Be Skinny: Easy Peasy Deviled Eggs
PIN IT!You honestly can’t wrong with a deviled egg. They are delicious, easy and have less than 80 calories per little devil. Plus being tasty, they are naturally gluten-free and low in calories and fat. On top of that, they are budget friendly and take SUCH little time to prepare. With the week I’ve had (already), the less time I can spend in the kitchen, the more time I have to take a bottle of wine to the face.
Oh wine, the sweet, sweet nectar to my soul.
Now, I’ve always wanted to know why they were called deviled eggs. They aren’t bad for you, aren’t really hard and every time I’ve eaten them, I’ve always been happy I did. So I did a bit of research and found out why. For a food to be considered “deviled” it needs to contain a spicy element, like a kick from dijon mustard or cayenne pepper. I underestimated you, you saucy, spicy little egg! To really bring out the name of this party favorite, I added some crushed red pepper into the mix. Now that was one deviled egg!
