Easter is a time of celebration and acknowledgement that we are not all that we think we are, and that God is everything!! In our home we celebrate how Jesus gave the greatest sacrifice to save us from our sins and rose from the grave! In order to fully celebrate, we continue our family Easter traditions which include...decorating eggs, following a trail of jelly beans to the Easter baskets, and of course making and eating copious amounts of Deviled Eggs!!
My mother is from Kentucky which is known for sweet tea, hearty breakfasts, and a dash of sugar in most recipes!! A little sugar never hurt anyone!! Sometimes a girl just needs a little Southern flavor in her life!! Enjoy!
