Happy National Deviled Egg Day! 10/02  When I ran across these cute as can be Chicken Little Stuffed Eggs I knew they had "Celebration Food" written all over them. They would be perfect for National Deviled Egg Day. Perfect for any party in Spring. Easter would be a must to serve. Tea Parties would welcome the idea and Garden Parties would relish the theme. Even bird lovers would love this idea for National Bird Day and Wild Bird Feeding Month. Last but not least, baby showers would be beautiful with this hatching little idea. Pillsbury flyies high!

Eggs stuffed w/ Goat Cheese Originally uploaded by jbaugher

Here we go everybody. Today is National Deviled Egg Day and I found this great looking picture uploaded by jbaugher from flickr . The picture is deviled eggs stuffed with goat cheese. The recipe came from our favorite TV host from the food network- Mrs. Paula Deen. What else can we say about this Holiday except deviled eggs have got to be the most popular horsd'oeuvre there is. (hey how do you spell horsdoeurve any way?) We found through our research that deviled eggs are also known as stuffed eggs too. We also found out that many of the recipes you find for deviled eggs are just egg salad recipes too. So if your searching out recipes for deviled eggs and find out that you can't find very many..... then just look for Egg Salad Recipes. And just so you know..... there even a National Egg Salad Week too. When I was a kid we always had deviled eggs all throughout the year. We ate them with our meals many times and especially at our Sunday Dinners. I was raised on the basic recipe and I love them as much today as I did growing up. I love that paprika sprinkled on top.
