This week I got a fierce craving for deviled eggs. Until this week, I’d never made deviled eggs, but I did have a half dozen boiled eggs cooling their jets in the fridge. So, I googled a recipe (thanks, Simply Recipes!) and got to work slicing my eggs. I got about half way done before I realized we were 100% out of mayonnaise. As in, completely out of the 2nd most important ingredient. Doh!

Well, here’s to happy accidents! I substituted plain greek yogurt for the mayo, amped up the dijon, and added about a teaspoon and a half of sriracha and DANG! Slightly healthier, equally delicious deviled eggs for lunch (snack).

This is how I spent my Sunday: 
Reading the NYT, drinking too much coffee, plotting, planning, beers on a patio and PICKLES. Herbed asparagus pickles to be exact. Tarragon and shallots from my garden mingled with delicate spring asparagus from the farmers market. Spring in a jar.

Tonight’s dinner: homemade pizza (on the grill) with potatoes, rosemary, bacon, and homemade goat cheese, followed by rhubarb custard pie.
