  • Dijon and Horseradish Deviled Eggs

    Dijon and Horseradish Deviled Eggs

    How to Make Dijon and Horseradish Deviled Eggs

    Deviled eggs are a great low carb snack or appetizer. And, perfect for Easter time if you have a lot of leftover dyed eggs! This traditional take features zesty dijon mustard and horseradish for extra flavor without a lot of added salt. We subbed most of the mayonnaise for plain yogurt for a lighter filling.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To prepare the eggs: Add the eggs to a saucepan that is large enough so they are not crowded. Add water to cover about 1 inch over the eggs. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, about 6 to 7 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and set it on an unused burner. Add the vinegar to the water (to help in peeling the eggs). Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 20 to 30 minutes.
    2. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the ice water bath, letting them cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently remove each egg from the ice water, and gently tap its shell until it is cracked all over (but do not peel). Add the cracked eggs back to the ice water bath (prepare a new ice bath if necessary) for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the ice water, and gently roll them between your palms. The shells should slip off easily. Discard the shells.
    3. Halve each egg and remove the yolks. Discard one yolk and add the remaining five to a bowl. Set the egg whites on a platter, with the cut sides up.
    4. Mash the yolks with the yogurt, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, horseradish, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Spoon or pipe the egg yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.

  • Better Mashed Potatoes

    Better Mashed Potatoes

    How to Make Better Mashed Potatoes

    The potato is the star of this comfort-food side dish, but a nonstarchy vegetable plays a surprising supporting role. The result is light and luscious. 

    Smart Swaps: The original mashed potato recipe (serving size: 1/2 cup) had 130 calories, 8 g fat (4.7 g sat. fat, 0.3 g trans fat), 15 g carbohydrate, and 770 mg sodium. *

    Mashing options: Put the mixture through a ricer or a food processor for a smooth mash. Mash with a potato masher for a coarse mash. 

    Veggie Helper: Cauliflower, which has less starch than potato, helps cut in half the carbohydrate grams in this dish. 

    Less Fat: Fat-free buttermilk adds richness without the fat calories of the butter and whole milk in the original recipe. 

    More Flavor: I used less salt overall but swapped in a small amount of Parmesan for a flavor boost.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. In a large saucepan, place the potato, garlic, and cauliflower and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the potato and cauliflower are tender, about 15 minutes.

    2. Drain and add the vegetables and garlic back to the pot. Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and put the lid over the towel. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and towel. This process helps to dry the vegetables so they mash better.

    3. Add the buttermilk, cheese, olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash* just until the ingredients are lightly combined. If desired, garnish with fresh snipped chives.
