I love deviled eggs and everyone has a different recipe for them! This recipe is my dad's and ultimately my favorite type of deviled egg.
Things you will need:
1 dozen eggs - boiled
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 can Ortego pickled jalapenos diced
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
After you have boiled and peeled your eggs, cut the eggs in half vertically. Remove the yolks from the egg and put in a small bowl. Once you have removed all the yolks add the diced jalapenos, 2 tsp of the juice from the can, mayonnaise, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix well. Once that's all mixed up well, place the filling in the egg where the yolk was. Sprinkle with paprika and you have delicious deviled eggs!

Mozzarella Balls
This recipe is so good! But what deep fried cheese isn't delicious! LOL! Things you need:
Fresh Mozzarella Balls - as many as you wish to make
Eggs - beaten - about 4Italian Bread Crumbs
Parmesan Cheese
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Fresh Italian Parsley (chopped finely)
Canola OilTake your Mozzarella Balls and remove them from the liquid. Pat them dry with a paper towel, this will help get rid of all the moisture and also help your breading to stay on.
Preheat your deep fryer or skillet and make sure your oil is hot! If you are going to pan fry these make sure your pan is deep enough to cover the cheese ball with oil.
Get a plate and place your flour on the plate. Season your flour with the Cayenne Pepper, Black Pepper, and salt. Just enough to taste.
Scramble your eggs and place them in a small to medium size bowl. You want to be able to dip your balls in there.
Also, put your bread crumbs, Parmesan Cheese and Italian Parsley on a plate.
Once you have your three stations your ready to start! Take a Mozzarella ball and roll in Flour, once it's coated in flour, dip it in the egg, then in the bread crumbs, dip it one more time in the egg and the bread crumbs. This will make the coating so crunchy and will also make it so it sticks better to the cheese. Once all your balls are coated place in your freezer for 20 minutes. This will help the egg set up and also stick better to the Cheese. After the 20 minutes put those babies in the deep fryer until golden brown! These are so gooey and delicious! Serve with your favorite marinara or ranch!
Prosciutto Green Onions
This Recipe is so easy but extremely time consuming! You need as many green onions as you will have guests x3 because people love these and they can't stop eating them!
Thing you will need:
Green Onions
Cream Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Prosciutto
Clean your Green Onion and remove the tops, about half way down. You want these to be about two bites each green onion, so that will give you an idea of how much of the top to remove.
Leave your cream cheese out so it's room temperature because if it's cold it's super hard to mold to your Green onions. Take your cream cheese and slice it. Take the slice in the palm of your hand and wrap the bottom of the green onion. there should only be a little bit of the green onion poking out once you have wrapped the creamed cheese around the onion. Once that step is completed, roll the green onion in Parmesan cheese, coating the cream cheese, then wrap that in prosciutto! This is a taste explosion!
Enjoy!

Patti's Artichoke Dip
This Artichoke Dip is to die for and unfortunately I can't take credit for it! My wonderful mother-in-law taught me to make this and it's so great! Serve with diced french bread and you have a classic dip that is warm, cheesy, and comforting!

1 Can Quartered Artichoke hearts
1 Brick of Cream Cheese
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp of Garlic
Leave out your ingredients so they are room temperature when you make this dip, it makes it a lot easier to work with! Especially the cream cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
Mix the Cream Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Mayonnaise, and garlic in a medium size bowl. Mix until the consistency is smooth and well mixed. Add in Garlic and Artichoke hearts. Place in a square baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling!

My Famous Guacamole & Home Made Chips
This recipe is always a crowd pleaser! I have actually had people tell me that they don't like Guacamole and they love this recipe! It's so easy and so delicious!
Things you will need for Guacamole:
Avocados - I usually use 6 or 7
1 White Onion
1 Bundle Cilantro
Jalapenos - Quantity is totally up to you depending on your heat level. I use about 4 or 5 jalapenos with the seeds. I like to make sure it has a kick!
1 Lime Juiced
Lawry's Garlic Salt
First you want to cut your Avocados in half and remove the seed. Then what I have found to be the easiest for mashing is score your Avocados with a knife and make a checker board, then when you get the spoon to remove the meat it comes out in little chopped pieces and it's easier to mash. Once you have mashed your Avocados, add in the juice of one lime and garlic salt to taste. Make sure your avocado mixture is a little salty because you want to season all the other veggies you'll be putting into this delicious dip!
Chop up the rest of your vegetables! The consistency of the chop is totally up to you! I like it chunky but you might want smaller pieces! Stir into your Avocado mixture and TA-DA! Total deliciousness in a bowl.
For the chips I totally cheat and buy white corn tortillas that I cut into little triangles and deep fry! Once they are all brown and crispy I pull them out and salt to taste! People can't get their hands out of this recipe and will be begging you make it over and over again! :)
