Welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: May 2022. Today is National Egg Month and I don’t know about you, but I love Eggs. If I had time this morning, I would make Deviled Eggs to go with dinner this evening. Which I believe is going to be Stuffed Hamburgers. But after finding out this month is also National Loaded Potato Month; I was thinking we could just do Stuffed Baked Potatoes this evening. Would you like to join us for dinner? If so, what would you like to have on your Stuffed Potatoe?

- According to the food historians, the practice of “deviling” food began sometime during the 18th Century in England.
- Deviling refers to cooking something with fiery hot spices or condiments and was adopted because of the connection between the Devil and the excessive heat in Hell.
- According to historic cookbooks, the practice of boiling eggs, extracting the Yolks and combining them with Spices and refilling the Eggs with the mixture was common in later years of the 16th Century, and was commonly practiced by the 17th Century.
WHY PEOPLE LOVE NATIONAL EGG MONTH
- Eggs are a very good source of protein, especially the Egg white. More than half the protein of an Egg is found in the Egg White. It’s also rich in minerals as well as Vitamins B2, D, B6, and B12.

- Eggs are currently priced especially low, and are, in fact, the lowest they’ve been in over a decade. A carton of Eggs is way cheaper than those deluxe containers of Protein Powder and tastier,
