Perfectly Peeled Boiled Eggs




You know what a perfectly peeled hard boiled eggs looks like? They look so fresh and clean with no flaws at all. Whenever I peel eggs I do my best, but it takes forever to make sure to not tear any of the egg whites and after spending a lot of time on one egg, I am exhausted! Well, I set out to find an easier way. 

I just boiled half a dozen eggs and peeling them was SO easy. I timed myself. It took an average of 7 seconds to peel each one... and I'm not kidding! Everyone of them turned out perfect. No flaws at all. 

What is my secret?!? I put 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in the water before it boiled. That's it! I hope my little secret helps you out in peeling your eggs as much as it did with mine. I am look forward to some awesome tasting and awesome looking egg salad pretty soon!

Superb Spice Shop Trip!

The adventure for today was to go to a local spice shop and look at spices. My friend and I spent an hour and a half just looking at spices and herbs. Smelling and tasting, we carefully choose the perfect spices to enhance our upcoming dishes. I would highly recommend Savory Spice Shop. I had a blast and will definitely be going back soon.

I am most excited about a pomegranate molasses that I got. It will be perfect for putting in an icing for some cupcakes. Finding a really yummy looking recipe the other day, I wanted to get the perfect spice for it. It is a caramelized coffee chicken dish. I got a bakers brew mixture with coffee sugar and cinnamon. I can hardly wait to try it. The recipe is on the Savory's Spice Shop website. 

As I think about what I got, I can only imagine how my dishes will improve with higher quality ingredients. Yum!
