I’m SO excited to share this video with you all! Scott and I made the cutest little easy Christmas treats for kids —3 different kinds, actually.

Simple + Amazing Deviled Eggs – with Pickle Juice!
Lately, I’ve been on a deviled egg kick. I kind of had forgotten they were a thing until my mother-in-law made some for a recent family gathering—so good! As usual, I’ve also been on my Instant Pot kick—I seriously love that thing. I decided to combine the two and turn Instant Pot hard boiled eggs…
10 Slow Cooker Super Bowl Recipes
