Rainy Day Snacks- protein

Some days just call for more kitchen time. With rain in the forecast daily for most of the week, I decided to make a few extra things- snacks for protein as well as deliciousness.

Deviled Eggs

I have also heard these referred to party eggs and my Granny calls them dressed eggs. Whatever you call them, they are a nice addition to any meal, make a yummy snack, and are my egg variety preference for breakfast. I don’t have a recipe because I steam different numbers of eggs (though it’s usually one dozen). My egg tray holds 8 whole eggs. Add mayo (I like this seed-oil free version), a touch of mustard (we love this homemade recipe), and salt/pepper to taste. That’s it! There are many different versions out there and I don’t always add mustard, but this is one way to make them!

Protein Bagels

No, these don’t look like bagels, do they? I tried them with holes twice and decided we like them better solid! Quick, easy, and versatile, these buns are a hit! We have used them for sandwiches, as toast, or even as mini pizzas. Yum!

Sausage Balls

I have written a post about protein snacks in the past and included sausage balls. However, now that I use exclusively freshly milled flour, I had to find a recipe that wasn’t too dry or horribly crumbly to please my family. This version is a hit! Makes lovely treats every time. This particular night, we ate breakfast for supper, and the sausage balls made the meal complete.

    My deviled eggs are very different from most.. My mom made all her own salad dressings from flour and milk, much like a thin white sauce, but with the addition of vinegar and sugar. I like to make my eggs with Miracle Whip, vinegar and sugar, and a touch of garlic powder. No mustard.

Welcome to
Honey and the Hen!

Currently I don’t have any bees (or honey). We do have meat chickens now – yay!
And we also recently purchased 20 laying pullets. I live with my Sweet Husband and 3 kids in Central Illinois. I love homesteading, homemaking, and homeschooling. We are thankful to be saved by grace in Jesus and seek to follow Him and His Word. I am originally from Tennessee and one of six children, using much of my upbringing in what I do and love now. I enjoy learning, growing, and keeping my home with enthusiasm as unto the Lord. We garden and hope to raise more of our own food as we can. Thanks for stopping by!
