Ever since I was 14 years old, I have admired this deviled egg dish in The Mister's family home.
When my mother-in-law passed away last year, it's the
thing I asked for when her house was cleaned out.
It's traveled from her china cabinet to mine!
It makes me smile as I pass by it every day.

Today I thought we should get it out and use it.After all, deviled eggs look absolutely adorable on it,
don't you think?

And I did a makeover on your grandma's recipe,using whole grain mustard, white wine vinegar
and fresh dill.
I love blue, and I really love blue and white together. This is such a pretty dish, even if I have only made deviled eggs one time, and in the past few months! I'm going to do it again though.
ReplyDeleteYou could have shared this at the rooster party too. I loved the story behind it.
I love that dish! I'm also thinking I need to make deviled eggs again!
ReplyDeleteLove that egg dish. Never seen one quite like it. So special being your Mister's Moms.
ReplyDeleteOur oldest daughter has an egg dish collection. I passed the milk glass one from Don's mom to her. But I've never seen one as unique as your blue and white.
I use fresh Dill.... it was my maiden name :)
Oh Betsy! I absolutely adore this dish! I love blue and white together and this is such a special piece... I would have asked for it too! I am so glad you were able to keep it in your family and that you smile every time you see it. How special is that?! I have not had devilled eggs in ages - must make some soon.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs...

The deviled egg dish is beautiful, for sure -and those eggs look pretty darned tantalizing too. Wanna share the recipe?
ReplyDeleteWanda ~ you are just a 'hip' grandma! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSuza ~ hey, you came out from your pile of work? Nice to hear from you! :)
ReplyDeleteJeni ~ I don't really measure anything...just mayo, whole grain mustard, sugar, salt, pepper and a dash of white wine vinegar...mix with the yolks. The dill was a garnish and not mixed in.
ReplyDeleteBetsy! They look mouth-wateringly gorgeous! You know, my in-laws are vegetarians and even eggs are frowned on. Oh, I get to have them all right, but only on the sly! I loved the story about the dish too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dish! Also, I've got to try that salsa recipe from previous entry!
ReplyDeleteThe dish looks lovely - both the food and the dish.
ReplyDeleteI love eggs and these look delicious! The plate is lovely as well, what a treasure, considering the sentiment...
ReplyDeleteI can not believe that you knew your husband when you were 14.;) That is so incredibly romantic...
xo
yum...we love deviled eggs...and the dish looks great...but can i have a few eggs? lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the egg dish! You met your mother-in-law when you were 14??? I met mine when I was 16 - we were just babies, weren't we?
ReplyDeleteYum on the eggs,
s
Sweet Annabelle ~ yes we were babies! But we didn't think so at the time, did we? ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by the care you take with your food preparation and presentation :)
ReplyDeleteIt's charming! And the eggs look delish!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, you did well to get this handed down. But I'm trying to keep from licking the screen!-LOL!
ReplyDeleteDon't recall ever seeing a plate quite like this one...and those deviled eggs( drool )...
The dish is wonderful! We had a batch of deviled eggs this weekend as well. My Chinese American kiddos are NUTS about them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasured heirloom for you to receive!!
fresh dill sounds wonderful with deviled eggs.
ReplyDeleteyour plate is so pretty!
my family loves deviled eggs. I have Jeff's grandmother's Frankhoma pottery egg plate.
I like to take d.eggs to covered dish meals at church and parties, they seem to always be the first dish empty too.
oh how charming it is...deviled eggs cant beatem!
ReplyDeleteDelightful dish!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love my Mom's and Sister's deviled eggs. I'm not very good at them. My sons love them with paprika. That dish is adorable!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You have me beat - I didn't meet my future in-laws until I was 15, lol!
ReplyDeletethat really is adorable! I love the blue and white and the hen. What a nice and useful piece to have from your MIL :)
ReplyDeleteRosezilla ~ you, me, and Sweet Annabelle...we were very young sweethearts!
ReplyDeleteI do love a deviled egg dish. but I love the dish even more: My Mom and Grandmothers survived a catastrophic fire so I feel they were truly meant to be used - and I am glad to see yours for this same reason: Suvivors.
ReplyDeleteI have very much like this one except my chicken in the center is gray!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this dish, Betsy!! Now I'm going to be on the lookout for one when I'm out antiquing:)
