Luckily, we just have downed trees and a washed-out driveway! Our thoughts and prayers go out to all affected more severely by this storm. So, here's a great, after-Easter, old family egg recipe for you:
PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH PICKLED EGGS
INGREDIENTS:
* 8 eggs
* 1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets with liquid
* 1/2 cup white vinegar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup water
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel. Place eggs in a glass container.
2. In a saucepan, combine beets, vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over eggs. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator overnight. The eggs will be purple in the morning! If you like them a little zippier, just use less sugar (1/4 cup).
AND...a wonderful chicken salad recipe...great for spring brunches, showers and parties!
YUMMIEST CHICKEN SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked, or 2 cups cooked cut-up chicken
* 1/4 cup creamy salad dressing
* 4 tablespoons cole slaw dressing
* 1 stalk celery, chopped
* 1/4 onion, chopped
* salt and pepper to taste
* opt: halved seedless grapes, chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a food processor, combine the chicken, creamy salad dressing, cole slaw dressing, celery, onion, and salt and pepper. Mix until well chopped. Serve on rolls or bread for sandwiches, or in hollowed out tomatoes, on a lettuce leaf, for a pretty presentation. You can also add halved green or red seedless grapes or chopped nuts to the salad, to make it fancy.
Enjoy! Here's hoping for warmer, calmer weather ahead!

Glad that you are ok. I was just sick watching the Weather Channel yesterday.
