A "classic" picnic food has to be deviled eggs. There are MANY variations, but this recipe is simple and only has three ingredients - mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. I was curious as to how deviled eggs got their name, so I did a little research. The word "deviled" according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary is to "season highly." It doesn't necessarily apply only to eggs. For example, if you seasoned chopped ham, then you would have deviled ham. I learn something new everyday!

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Using a fork, break yolks into small pieces until it resembles fine crumbs. Add mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Stir until smooth and creamy. Spoon into egg halves. Arrange on platter.
