The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Stuffed Eggs

Not sure where this recipe came from.

4 hard boiled eggs
4 tsp mayonnaise
3/4 tsp prepared mustard
3/4 tsp sugar
1 tsp pickle juice
dash of salt
paprika, as garnish

Boil and peel eggs.  Cut eggs in half lengthwise.  Place the yokes in a ziplock bag and smash them up.  Add the remaining ingredients except paprika.  Combine the ingredients by smooshing them all together in the sealed ziplock bag.  Cut one corner of the ziplock bag and pip the egg yoke mixture into the egg whites.  Sprinkle with paprika and chill.

PePaw loved these eggs and I made them too many times to count.  We didn't have our chickens at the time and we bought dozens and dozens of eggs- I loved seeing him eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I think he lived on them for awhile!  :)

One day one of PePaw's caregivers decided to warm some of these up in the microwave.  She put them in for way too long and exploded them everywhere!  It was a HUGE mess!  There was yellow creamy stuff and white egg chunks all over the inside of the microwave.  What an egg disaster!

Love Always,
Mommy
