New Twist on Cooking 'Hard Boiled' Eggs

 
 
Call them what you want, hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs, angel eggs, we all make them the same old boring way. Put eggs in a pan of water, let boil, hope they are completely cooked when you take them off the burner. Or, if you have those "Eggies" you put them in their containers and boil away....again, right?

 Well guess what! There is a new and super easy way to make 'hard boiled' eggs, without even boiling! Does this happen to you...Only having two working stove burners when you need all four  and an extra set of hands because you have company coming over in half an hour and your dinner is not even half way done! ?? Yeah, that happens to me all the time! So what do you do when you don't have the time to tend to, or an extra burner for those darned eggs? Stick them in the oven!

Yes, I did just say to put them in the oven. Grab a muffin pan and put one egg in each muffin hole. Pop them in that oven for 20 minutes, then take them out and put all of them in a bowl of cold water just long enough to cool. To peel: Crack top, bottom, and all around egg. Roll on countertop to make sure it is completely cracked all around. Simply slide the egg out of the peeling. It peels that easy! Slice and serve! I make them this way all the time and trust me, it's sooo easy!

Have fun cooking!

Citrus Juice

Alright Fellow Juicers,

Here is a juice recipe that we came up with when we first started juicing. It is the most delicious and refreshing juice ever! It only has 3 simple ingredients. My mother and I like ours different ways. My mom likes to leave in the pulp, while I like to strain mine out. When you strain out the pulp, it makes an extra smooth juice.

Make sure you peel your mango and oranges. The peel of the oranges are too bitter to juice, it would ruin the juice. The mango needs to be peel and cut around the core as well. DO NOT try to juice the core! As for the apples, you don't need to peel or core them. It all juices well. Just make sure to wash it first.

After testing and trying many different juicers we found that the Omega juicer is our favorite. We bought and borrowed juicers from everywhere and for us, none of them can compare to the Omega auger juicer! We bought ours from Amazon and it's rather inexpensive for the quality of the product. Check it out by clicking on the add at the side of this page.

There you are!

You can add anything to this juice recipe you like. My mom likes to twist it up a bit. Sometimes she will add a couple kiwi, a slice or two of pineapple, maybe a little cantaloupe, or even some honeydew melon. Anything really. It's delicious no matter what you add to it. So have fun, and be creative!

Juice for Health!
