Snazzy, Jazzy Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs

My new favorite party offering is a twisted deviled egg recipe which is super simple if you have the patience to boil eggs.  I started taking this to parties back at Thanksgiving time when my friends hosted their "Friendsgiving" celebration.

Cioppino, our Feast of Seven Fishes

Our Feast of Seven Fishes has been a tradition since TasteBudA and I have been together. Even though neither of us are Catholic where this tradition stems, on Christmas Eve we gather and enjoy our version of a Feast of Seven Fishes, but we do it in one pot – a Cioppino.

So, after 4 years of making it, it’s time to document the recipe.  In 2013, this resulted in the best recipe because we made the broth, then went to a candlelight Christmas Eve mass.  Upon returning from mass, heated the broth to boil and added the fish.  The more time your broth has to simmer, then sit, the better the flavor develops.
