I’m a big hummus fan. Traditional hummus with chickpeas is easy to switch depending on my mood. Sometimes adding a little roasted red peppers or olives really hits the spot.
Other times, it’s bye bye chickpeas, hello black beans!
Using the same base recipe makes blacck bean hummus so good.
Tahini, garlic, lemon and a bit of oil if needed. I add a bit of cumin and salt. So easy!
Fried Deviled Eggs take your favorite egg snack, lightly bread it and quick deep fry. The result tastes amazing! A great idea for brunch. Serve these with dipping sauces.
Welcome to Day one of Brunch Week! Our brunch loving group of food bloggers are sharing dozens of recipes to make your next brunch a sure hit!
When I do brunch you’ll find a lot of finger foods. Some lean towards breakfast. Some favor lunch. Maybe mini lox and cream cheese bagels, egg and brie and ham croissants. Quartered clubs and popcorn shrimp. Oh and some kind of deviled eggs.
I’ve even made Crab Louie Deviled Eggs
So these Fried Deviled Eggs seem like the next step!
Start with your favorite deviled egg. I included a basic devil egg recipe if you need one. Prepare your eggs and filling. Add just enough filling to level off the egg. Chill eggs a few minutes before breading.
Drege the chilled eggs in flour, egg and panko bread crumbs. I like to use plain panko crumbs and season the crumbs myself with Italian seasoning, salt and paprika.
Fry breaded eggs at 350 degrees for about 1 minute per side or until golden brown. Place fried eggs on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Hey garlic lovers! We have a treat for you! Give Me the Garlic event celebrates garlic month with From Our Dinner Table Group.
I’ve prepared Garlic Parmesan Noodles with roasted garlic, shaved parmesan and fresh parsley. Sweet roasted garlic and nutty aged parm cheese go so well together. Fresh parsley adds a brightness to the pasta in both flavor and color.
Homemade pasta is easy to make. As a bonus you can shape it any way you like.
Today I was hungry for noodles.
I have a hand crank pasta machine.
Rolling and cutting works fast with it.
Hand rolling and shaping is always another option.
Garlic parmesan dough made with roasted garlic stays soft and pliable. I only use 00 flour for pasta. It’s extra fine texture helps aid in elasticity.
The longer you knead the dough the more tender the pasta. I knead mine for 10 to 15 minutes.
Fresh pasta cooks very fast. These noodles only take about 2 to 3 minutes depending on the thickness.
You can serve these noodles with or without sauce or meat. I like them both ways. The plain version got a quick basil infused olive oil drizzle.
Ground chicken served as a tasty protein addition. So good!
Garlic Parmesan Noodles
Knead ingredients together to form a ball. Continue kneading for 10 to 15 minutes until dough is smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for at least 20 minutes before shaping.

I’ve made variations of no bake cheesecake for years. Citrus curds go great with rich base cheesescakes. Lemon, lime, or orange can stand alone or together for flavor.
