Delicious Deviled Eggs

February 27, 2017 //  by Katie Vigesaa, RD//  Leave a Comment

Eggs are arguably one of the most perfect foods! They are packed with nutrients and are just so darn delicious. For years they were wrongfully villainized for their cholesterol content, which was a substance science believed was a major culprit in heart disease.

We now know that cholesterol rich foods can actually be beneficial and are not a “nutrient of concern” for heart health. Cholesterol is actually necessary for hormone production and is an important component of our cells and nervous system. When we get cholesterol from our food sources, it takes some of the work from the liver, the organ that produced the majority of the cholesterol in our body.

As delicious and nutritious as those eggs are, they start to get boring pretty quick if you don’t spice it up. I know this personally. We have 13 hens and usually get more than our fair share of eggs from those lovely ladies.

Once I’m getting bored of the standard egg dish, it’s time to mix it up. Deviled eggs sounded perfect! I never write down my recipes, I just throw things together and it usually turns out pretty tasty. This time I decided to write down exactly what ingredients I used. Because I always get the question, “what’s the recipe?” In which I usually reply, “what’s a recipe?”

 

Delicious Deviled Eggs

Author: Katie Vigesaa, RD
Recipe type: Snack or Side
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 8 Eggs, boiled
  • ⅓c. Mayo (I used Hain brand)
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. ground mustard
  • ⅛ tsp. paprika
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • ¼ tsp. red wine vinegar
  • garnish with chives (if you please)
Instructions
  1. Boil the eggs. This is my personal method — place the eggs in a large sauce pan, covered with water. Turn the heat on high with a lid covering. Once the water reaches a boil, turn down the heat to about medium to maintain a slow boil. Turn the timer on for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, place the eggs in ice water or very cold water. Allow them to cool. Peel! Even with fresh eggs, they typically peel pretty easy this way.
  2. Once boiled and peeled, cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place in a small/medium bowl. Save the whites and place to the side.
  3. In the bowl with the yolks, add the remaining ingredients, except garnish (mayo, spices, vinegar). Mix and mash thoroughly.
  4. Add the yolk mixture into a sandwich baggie and cut a very small piece of the tip off (or a pastry bag if you have one, I do not). Pipe the yolk mixture back into the saved egg whites. Garnish with chives.
  5. These are a great option for an afternoon snack if you are getting a bit hungry! Or, serve them for breakfast with some veggies. Packed with healthy fats and proteins, these will help keep you blood sugars balanced and your hunger at bay.

Hey there! My name is Katie Vigesaa.

I get what it’s like to struggle with your metabolism. You see, I’m not one of those naturally thin nutritionists. The ones that tell you to eat how they eat because well, they are thin, and the assumption is if you eat like they do, then you too, will be thin. Looking back, though, I think my stubborn metabolism has been a blessing!

I’d love to get to know you better! Read more »

Is your gut health suffering? Do you need a step b Is your gut health suffering? Do you need a step by step process to get a healthier gut? If that’s you, join my 6 week {beta} program for Happy Healthy Guts! We start March 20th. Gut health is important for total health! So if you also have inflammation issues, low energy, weight or blood sugar struggles, then focus on gut health first. 

Oh! And what’s in my bowl? Chili lime chicken, red wine vinegar macerated shallots, pepperoncinis, cucumber, garbanzo beans, a sprinkling of feta and a dash of *good* olive oil. Delicious and vibrant! Would work great for a meal prep lunch.
Client: “I’ve noticed I feel leaner on my carb Client: “I’ve noticed I feel leaner on my carb days, when I’m including the resistant starch”

Yes! Brilliant connection here. Let’s back track a bit.. resistant starch is a type of fiber. It resists digestion until it gets to the colon where it gets slowly broken down by our gut bugs (yay! Feeding the colon dwellers! They need to eat too, ya know!) this is great news for your health, and if it’s a goal of yours, fat loss efforts. 

Resistant starch has been shown to:
✔️ increase satiety 
✔️ reduce the energy harvest from your food… lower caloric load
✔️ reduce after meal blood sugars and improve insulin sensitivity 
✔️ increase the breakdown of fat 
 (And more!)

Resistant starch and it’s different forms are in foods like semi green bananas, cooked and cooled potato, rice, and oats, beans.

Is it a panacea? Nope, nothing is, but it definitely is part of the puzzle and can make a big impact. 

‼️Disclaimer: some people need to improve gut strength and digestion before adding a bunch of resistant starch foods.
Have you ever eaten a salad only for it to go righ Have you ever eaten a salad only for it to go right through you? Or felt like fiber does the opposite and s-l-o-w-s your digestion? Maybe even looking at Brussels sprouts makes you bloated! 

That is FRUSTRATING when you’re trying to include more veggies or plant matter to your diet! It might make you feel like your gut hates healthy foods! 

Guess what? Proteins are good for the gut, and so are fibers and plant matter. So how do we get your gut stronger so it can digest your food properly!?

Glad you asked! In my Happy Healthy Guts course, week 1 is going to cover inflammation in the gut lining. We have a specific eating plan, some optional supplements, and movement patterns to get us on the right footing. We need to start cooling that inflammation to set up gut healing appropriately. . There’s a step by step process, not a random hope and wish - try this or that approach. 

We start March 20th! (That’s next Monday!) are you in? Link in profile to learn more and sign up
