Avocado Deviled Eggs

This weekend, I have the privilege of being part of a very special event - a wedding.  A couple of weeks ago, one of my sweetest and most encouraging friends called & asked if I could help with her daughters big day.  This very organized MOB (Mother of the Bride) started spouting off a few things she needed, food for the bridal party at two different times on Saturday and she was so, so sorry for the late notice.

Well, just hush, now…this Southern Soul knows about taking care of a bridal party, both the young ladies and gentlemen.  After a short chat, a couple of emails, I had my plan.  No worries for the Bride, MOB, Groom and others…Saturday is going to be wonderful with lots of smiles, laughter, a blessing for a new marriage and some special touches along the way…

A small bite, especially when it's a deviled egg can bring a smile to one's face, along with a little sound of "umm, that's good."  Avocado Deviled Eggs will be just one of the treats that I'll be serving to some lovely people on a day that's extra special, memorable and full of joy!
