I have to admit that I love, love, LOVE deviled eggs.  And I hate, hate, HATE to make them!

I think it’s because it’s such a tedious process.  Boil the eggs – cool them off … shell the eggs.  Sigh … I always manage to mess up a few that now look pitted and diseased with big chunks out of them.  Then I can’t stand it when the inside of the egg whites are wet, so I have to dry them out and I must pipe the yoke filling back in once it’s made – so there’s more mess that has to be cleaned up.

But they taste so darned good ………

Whether you love to cook, or just love to eat, there are plenty of great foodies on Twitter that you can follow. From celebrity foodies you’ll recognize from TV to professional chefs, bloggers, and restaurant critics, many food lovers are tapping into Twitter’s real-time network to offer up recipes, restaurant recommendations (or warnings), and an inside look at life in the kitchen.

This list has over 55 great foodies to follow on Twitter. Fair warning, though: before perusing the list, you might want to grab a snack. A lot of the Twitter users included here post mouth-watering images of some great dishes, or even use them as their background images. I’m sure I gained five pounds just posting this review!

Super Bowl is almost upon us and many low-carb lifestylers – especially the beginners – are worried that they won’t be able to enjoy the party goodies because there won’t be anything low-carb available.

There are several options for you low-carbers out there – don’t go to any Super Bowl parties … no, no, no – I’m kidding! But, seriously, when you do go to the parties – BYOS! (Bring Your Own Snacks)
