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!

The egg trick
MOMYS
Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs
Put eggs in a sauce pan and cover with 1" of cold water. Bring to a rapid boil, cover, and turn heat off. Let set for 10-12 minutes. Pour out hot water and place eggs under cold running water. Crack the large end of the eggs and place them back into the cold water. Let set for several minutes. Eggs should peel easily. If not, place back in cold water for another minute or two.
This is one handy tip. We frequently have very fresh eggs from our chickens and Hannah uses this tip and it works even on those eggs. When the large end of the shell is cracked, the water seeps in the air pocket and under the membrane separating the membrane from the egg and making it easy to peel. Sometimes you need to pierce the membrane and roll it around under water to get the water under the membrane.

Jennifer at Dallas Reformed Baptist Church
Strawberry Cake
1 box white cake mix
3 oz. box strawberry jello
10 oz. frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed
4 eggs
1/2 C. vegetable oil
1/4 C. water
Lightly grease two round 9" cake pans. In a large bowl combine cake mix and jello. Add pureed strawberries, eggs, oil, and water; beat at medium speed until smooth. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. After completely cooled, spread Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting in between layers and on top and side of cake. Yum!
Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
1/4 C. butter, softened
8 oz. block of cream cheese, softened
10 oz. frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed and pureed
1/2 tsp strawberry extract
7 C. powdered sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until creamy. Beat in 1/4 C strawberry puree, reserving remaining puree for another use. Beat in extract. Gradually add sugar beating until smooth.
We first tried this cake a few months ago when Jennifer brought it to dinner at the Dato-on's house. It was incredible! I asked Jennifer for the recipe and she graciously shared it with our family.
We made this while on vacation at Running Y in Oregon with Papa & Nama, and Uncle Lee & Auntie Shea and all your cousins. We doubled the recipe and made two sheet cakes. It was incredible! We had such a great time on that vacation; we went swimming, ice skating, played tennis in the snow, and had a wonderful time. Uncle Dave & Aunt Sandy even came down for a few days. We had such a great time at our "vacation house".
Hannah told me yesterday that she would make this for me for my birthday in a few days. Yippee! I can't wait to eat it! Yummy!

High $ Hot Pockets
Ham & Swiss Stromboli
Quick Cooking July/August 2001 page 37
1 tube (11 oz.) refrigerated French Bread
3 oz. thinly sliced deli ham
3 oz. thinly sliced deli turkey
1 ½ C. shredded Swiss cheese
bacon bits
Unroll dough on a greased baking sheet. Place ham and turkey over dough to within ½ in. of edges; sprinkle evenly with bacon bits and cheese. Roll up jelly roll style, starting with the long side. Pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut several ¼” deep slits on top of loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 26-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm. Yields: 6-8 servings
This looks so fancy but it is so easy. This is a good one for lunch or dinner on the weekends. Our family is big enough now that we have to make two of these but we usually have left overs that heat up well for Daddy's lunch.

Creamed Eggs Over Toast
Living on a Dime
Good Morning Sunshine
2 cups white sauce
6 eggs, hard boiled and chopped
1/2 C. dry milk
1/4 C. flour
2 dashes salt
2 C. cold water
2 TB butter
6 pieces of toast
In a covered jar, combine flour and salt and mix well. Add water. Shake until all the ingredients are dissolved. Melt margarine in a 1 quart sauce pan. Stir in flour-milk mixture and cook over low heat until mixture thickens and starts to bubble. Keep stirring until thickened completely. Once the white sauce has thickened, add eggs. Serve on toast.
We have really enjoyed the Moody books by Sarah Maxwell. In book 3, Winter with the Moodys, Grandma's favorite meal is "creamed hard boiled eggs over toast". The children and I had never heard of this so I wrote to Sarah and asked her what it was. She briefly described it to me. I went for a search and found a recipe called Good Morning Sunshine on Living on Dime. This, I believe, is Creamed Eggs Over Toast. Hannah and Daniel really enjoy this for breakfast or for lunch. It has been a lot of fun trying different recipes that Ms. Maxwell mentions in her books. Our family has been blessed to have been a test family for 2 of the Moody books- Book 3 Winter with the Moodys and Book 4 Spring with the Moodys. It has been such a privilege to work with Sarah and offer her feedback on her books. It has been so much fun!

Hot Cocoa
The Wilkes Team
1 C. sugar
2/3 C. baking cocoa
¼ tsp. salt
8 C. milk
2/3 C. water
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt in a large pan. Stir in milk and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat and stir in extract. Serve in your favorite mugs with a few little marshmallows on top to finish it off.
Variation: Substitute raspberry, mint, etc. extract for vanilla extract for a yummy treat!

Our good friends the Wilkes Team in Virginia shared this absolutely wonderful recipe with us. I always seem to gravitate to this warm drink on cold days. Half a batch of this is perfect for Hannah, Daniel, and Mommy to enjoy! This afternoon I think we will partake of this hot cocoa, play Upturn, and then watch our new Animals in the Bible DVD. Sounds like a wonderful cold weather plan!
