Both my kids like hard boiled eggs, but it never fails—they just won’t eat the yolk (it’s kind of hard to blame them). That is, unless I make egg salad or deviled eggs with them. Then magically, nothing goes to waste! Here’s a real food version of deviled eggs (i.e. sans highly processed store bought mayo) that would be perfect for school lunches or Easter brunch this weekend. And I must know, does anyone else’s kids call these “Doubled Eggs?” Enjoy!

Real Food Tips: What to Make vs. Buy
I do not use sour cream unless we have some on hand u can just use mustard and a little bit of pickle juice with the salt and paprika. And if I use mayo it is homemade. I have a special needs son, that unless I buy organic he cannot have it so make everything from scratch and we can our own veggies and fruit. So I use pickle juice from our pickles. We are as a family are on a no processed foods diet for our son’s sake.
What does a diet have to do with a disability?!? I am mentally disabled… I’d like it if you don’t compare his disability with his diet… unless he impulsively cannot control rummaging the refrigerator smh
Hello! There are all sorts of disabilities, and some of them (not all) have symptoms that can be helped with diet. For example, many people have seizures on top of a mental disability or autism. For some people, cutting out processed foods and going real and organic can make a huge difference for seizures! Again, everyone with a disability is unique, so this doesn’t apply to everyone. I think the person with a special needs son just didn’t explain her whole situation. She didn’t mean that her son is a compulsive eater.
Amber,
She just said “special needs,” you don’t know what kind of issue he has. Many physical and mental challenges are exacerbated by chemicals in foods and going organic and making things from scratch can be helpful to minimize food’s impact on a person’s health.
Amber, just because your disability doesn’t have food restrictions doesn’t mean others do not. and special needs doesn’t always mean a mental or physical disability. take my daughter for instance she has to eat through a tube due to stomach issues and when she eats orally she can only have certain foods. which happen to be organic basically palo diet. I was actually pretty offended by your ignorant and insensitive comment. you would think you especially would know better.
Shame on you, Special needs does not mean necessarily disabled physically I have a son who has a “mental” disability. I sometimes refer to as special needs. If not given direction and guidance and support would in fact eat foods that would greatly impact him.. at least their son has his family’s support…enough said..
Amber, shut up. Read the comment again. Obviously her child has special dietary needs.
There was no mention of disability, only special needs. Dietary restrictions are a need that are not normal, hence special.
I have special needs I have pws syndrome when I was born with it
You are what you eat is not far off. Eating healthier means being healthier, effecting your body and wellbeing. Mental health is effected by what we eat.
A special needs child may be special needs because of stomach issues or sensitivity to some harsh things they use in processed foods. I have Gastroperesis and it’s a disability in itself somethings and the main problem surrounds different foods. People with celiac disease cannot have alot of processed foods. Please don’t act like you are special just because YOUR disability is different then their sons.
I have an autoimmune diet and have to avoid food dyes and other additives. I am considered disabled, so I understand how others have to monitor diets for disabled individuals. -;)
I’m such trying It out because my doctor told me in New York City that I need to be on low carb diet because he thinks I am very fat
Pretty good.
I added some lemon juice and a little fresh dill.
What a great devil egg! Devil egg is not also my favorite, it like the whole of my family member and we must keep it for our daily breakfast. We make it easier because my favorite egg boiler helps me to make it more easier. Thanks for the share.
Yummy. Just love them. Can’t do without eggs, now I enjoy them more
