Memorial Day Southern Deviled Eggs

We're calling these...



Memorial Day Southern Deviled Eggs because I 'southernized' the Weight Watchers recipe! Pretty cool!

Curried Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
4 large egg(s), white shelled-variety
3 Tbsp plain fat-free yogurt (Greek!)
2 tsp curry powder, mild-variety
1/4 tsp table salt (Used extra)
4 sprig(s) cilantro, for garnish (exchanged for Paprika :)

My additions:
Spicy Mustard
Dill pickles
Vinegar :)
Black Pepper
Cheyenne Pepper - we like it hot :)

Instructions:

Place eggs in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover eggs; bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and cover pan; let stand covered for 10 minutes on stove. Place pan in sink and run cold water over eggs until cool (no need to drain first); peel eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise.

Remove yolks and place yolks in a small bowl; mash with yogurt, curry powder and salt. Spoon yolk mixture back into egg white halves and garnish each with a small piece of cilantro. Yields 2 filled egg halves per serving.

Enjoy!

Warmly,

Honoring Those Who Have Served - Blades of Grass...

Today was an amazing honoring of those who have served in our Armed Forces, Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. And the families of those who have lost loved ones. This was a powerful video and song that was sung also.

Blades of Grass and Pure White Stone Psalm 62

Thank you God for a free country where we can worship you! Happy Memorial Day to you!

Do you know someone who has served? Is it you? Has anyone lost a loved one or friend?

Thank you for your service and love for the U.S.A.!

Warmly,

Here's some Saturday linkage I had to share. When I read Lee Woodruff's book, "In An Instant" - it was amazing and compelling all at once. I still remember with vivid awareness the story as told by the Lee and her husband, Bob Woodruff, the news reporter who was injured while covering the war in Iraq.

Now, I was amazed to discover the Bob Woodruff Foundation and their work through Tweet to Remind @ Remind.org. We can all join in this amazing fund raiser to support our solders and their families.

For you Twitter hold-outs, now is your chance to join the Twitter party. It's just another great way to use this connection. You can read more about the Foundation by their friend here. If you go to Twitter and join in, use the sign #tweettoremind and help donate too. :)

Just another way to honor our troops for Memorial Day! God Bless the U.S.A.!!!

Warmly,
