We are lucky to have several Trader Joe’s in Northern Virginia, but they are all just far enough away from my house that it is too inconvenient to go every weekend. I have a list of items that I like to stock up on whenever I go (you can see some of them here) and I am developing a repertoire of quick and easy dinners from Trader Joe’s that is making me get there more often.

One of my goals for April was to get back on my bike. Despite starting the month with back-to-back race weekends, I have managed to go for two bike rides with my husband, including our cycling tour to see the cherry blossoms.

We’ve all been inspired by Pinterest to try a fantastic-looking recipe, and we’ve all laughed at the memes that show how often our humble attempts fall horribly short. Still, when I saw these deviled egg chicks on Pinterest, I couldn’t resist giving them a try. Although it took more time than I will admit, I’m pretty proud of how well they turned out.
To make the deviled egg filling, I used the Healthy Deviled Eggs recipe from Anne’s fANNEtastic food blog, which calls for plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Of course, I used plain fat-free Chobani® in my recipe. I used slivers of black olives for the eyes and snips of carrot peelings for the beak. I really don’t know what took so long–probably slicing, emptying, and filling the eggs carefully so as not to mutilate the chicks!
