Deviled Eggs... the project for the day

As a person with new found time on my hands I am always looking for mini projects to occupy my day hours. So I was THRILLED when one of my very awesome friends asked me to do some research for her and find some delicious fun deviled egg recipes. So... I thought I would share.

This conversation also led to a new creative project for both of us... more to come soon on that!

I left out the "directions" part because it was all: boil eggs, cut in half, remove yolks, mix ingredients, put back in eggs. You get the idea.

So here are some yummy sounding ideas for Deviled Eggs: (keep in mind I NEVER follow directions... so I am sure I would alter each and every one in one way or another!)
