Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

1. I like to use my egg slicer for dicing eggs. Slice as you normally would, leave the sliced egg in the slicer, turn it 180°, and slice again.
2. Go gently on the salt because the olives are salty, and the celery salt is also salty.
3. Be sure to taste before serving and add more salt and pepper if needed.
4. If the eggs are too dry for your liking, add more mayo, 1 teaspoon at a time until it’s how you like it.
5. Store leftovers in a covered container for up to 2 days.
6. To double or increase any of my recipes, select the numbers 2, 4, or, 6 to increase the ingredient for the number of servings needed.
