With all the eggs our chickens lay I’m always working on new recipes to use them up. My family and I all love dill, so I decided to come up with Dill Deviled Eggs. You will love this simple deviled egg recipe with the tangy taste of dill! I grow dill in the garden and freeze it for future use, so I always have plenty of dill for any recipe.
Chickens are an easy farm animal to raise. They do not require a lot of maintenance. You can learn more about raising chickens in the country from this post.
We have 10 hens currently, 3 are not old enough to start laying yet, but will be soon. This provides us with a lot of eggs. With the abundance of eggs, I share a lot of our extras with family.
My family really loves dill pickles. We grow cucumbers in our garden every summer and I make dill pickles with most of the cucumber crop. Because of how much my family enjoys dill pickles, I decided to create these Dill Deviled Eggs. It uses up several of our homestead resources, which makes it very budget-friendly for my family.
