Baby Chicks







     These Baby Chicks come to life every Easter, but there are no rules they can't be enjoyed all year round.  Plus, what a great chance to involve the kids in piping the filling, adding the eyes and setting the beaks.  They will love it, and be more likely to consume healthy snacks if they are part of the making.  Each of these 4 servings, 2 Chicks, are only 125 calories, zero carbs or fiber, 7g protein and 10g fat.  AND, don't fear eating the Peppercorn eyes, it adds the perfect amount of spice.  These are a guaranteed smile maker at any Easter gathering!  ;)

Ingredients for 4 servings~
4 Extra Large Eggs
2 Tablespoons Mayo
1 scant Tablespoon Mustard, adjust to taste
16 Peppercorns
1 Carrot slice, cut into 8 slices, similar to a pie

     Add Eggs to saucepan and cover with water, bring to boil, add lid, turn off burner BUT DON'T remove pan from burner.  Set timer for 15 minutes, then transfer to sink and add cold water to pan til Eggs have cooled, remove shell, cut in half, add yolk to bowl along with Mayo and Mustard, stir til smoothly combined.  Add filling to bag and pipe the Whites.  If necessary, add filling to baggie, snip corner and pipe, if you don't have a cake tip and bag.  Add Peppercorn eyes and pie shaped Carrot beak.  Enjoy  :)
