Whether you are celebrating Passover or Easter, it's egg season. Eggs are everywhere you turn! Our fridge has 3 dozen eggs in it as we speak. (Nearly EVERY matzah dish requires them).
A favorite springtime recipe of mine is Deviled Eggs. They remind me of warm weather, picnics and spending time with family and friends. Think about it, how often do you whip up deviled eggs just for yourself? Never! They are the ultimate bring to a picnic to share food. And if you are sharing this dish made with love with your friends, why not keep their health in mind? I feel there's nothing worse than going to a gathering and being horrified by all the unhealthy food. (The granola health coach in me takes it personally...Ahhhh! Don't you want me to be healthy?!) I love this version of the recipe because it uses avocado and greek yogurt instead of that awful ingredient, mayo. (DIY: Commercially made mayonnaise may contain sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, thickeners, emulsifiers, EDTA, flavor enhancers, and water.)

Spicy Avo Deviled Eggs
Directions
1. Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise and very carefully scoop out the yolk.
2. Place the yolks in a bowl, and then peel and chop the avocado. Add it to the bowl with the yolks, then add the rest of the ingredients except for the garnish.
3. Use a fork to mix everything together until it is well combined and has a thick consistency.
4. If you are fancy, use a piping bag to fill each egg with the filling. I am not fancy and used a spoon.
5. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika.

Ingredients
- 12 eggs- hard-boiled
- 1 avocado
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- Juice from 1 lime (I never have limes and substituted a lemon...which seemed to work out fine)
- ½ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne (I also accidentally used 1/2 tsp cayenne...I'm a disaster in the kitchen. They still turned out fine.)
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- Paprika to make them fancy
Directions
1. Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise and very carefully scoop out the yolk.
2. Place the yolks in a bowl, and then peel and chop the avocado. Add it to the bowl with the yolks, then add the rest of the ingredients except for the garnish.
