Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Over the weekend I attempted to make a homemade spaghetti sauce using ground turkey instead of ground beef. It turned out fairly well, although I think it could have been better. I came up with the recipe on my own in my head so I was pretty proud of doing it myself. I sauteed onions, green peppers, oregano, basil, and ground turkey until cooked and the onions were translucent. Afterwards, I added diced tomatoes, pureed tomatoes, and tomato paste plus a can of water. I let it simmer for two hours to make sure all the flavors were absorbed. I wish I could remember the measurements I used but I didn't use any! I just played with it until I thought it tasted right. It turned out well, but I ended up having way too much leftover so I ended up freezing it for later!

Deviled Eggs

The other night, I was hanging out with some friends and I was proposing we have a "Jersey Shore Style" family dinner. Out of all the things to cook, my friend Matt demanded that I make deviled eggs and almost cried tears of joy when I agreed. I tried to explain how easy they were to make and he just could not believe I was actually going to make them for him. Deviled eggs is something we always have at our family gatherings on holidays, especially Easter. All you do is boil eggs for twenty minutes. You start by adding the eggs to the pot and cover them with cold water. You bring the water to a boil and cover the eggs and turn the heat off for twenty minutes. Afterwards, you need to remove the shell and cut the egg in half and remove the yolks into a small bowl. To the yolks, add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and relish if you like. Then you scoop the mixture into the egg cups and sprinkle with paprika. Store in the refrigerator and you are ready to go!
