Not gonna lie, the paprika kinda got away from me, but I didn’t mind because I love paprika. 1 dozen large Eggs; boiled and peeled — Topping: ½ cup Onions; thinly sliced and chopped ¼Continue reading “Bloomin’ Onion Deviled Eggs”

Sweet Heat Cornbread Muffins
I love making this cornbread recipe. The combination of sweet and heat can’t be beat! It’s slightly cake-like on the inside with a wonderfully crunchy crust.
