About a year after my hubby and I were married, we attended a Christmas party with a large group of other newlyweds. For the white elephant gift exchange, everyone brought the worst/most outrageous wedding present we had received. I can’t remember what we brought, but let me tell you, there were some hideously ugly and awkward gifts at that party.
Makes you wonder what people are thinking when they are standing at the Wal-mart, in front of the cheetah shower curtain and think…”Yeah! They would love this!”
The dish in this picture was one of those gifts. I mean, at first, I couldn’t even figure out what it was. When my mom explained it was a platter for deviled eggs, I thought she was joking. Are deviled eggs that important to someone’s diet that they have a special dish to serve them on???
Apparently so. Another great life lesson learned. So, thank you odd-gift-giving lady. My marriage has been greatly enhanced by the presence of your weird looking plate.

what if you made the deviled egg as per your favorite recipe. Turn it upside down on a lettuce leaf. Mix some cream cheese with mayo (or yogurt if you prefer) to make the cream cheese soft enough to pipe onto the eggs.
Divide the cream cheese mixture several time and add food coloring to each division. Now fit piping tips in small freezer bags and fill each one with a different color cream cheese mixture and pip onto each egg. Great fun for kids to decorate the eggs and then they will want to eat them.
Just a thought.

Thanks Judy for your suggestion!
