Remove circles to a serving platter and top with your favorite

I love Spring!!!!!!
4 hard cooked eggs, cut in half and yolks removed
1/4 cup cottage cheese filling (recipe follows)
2Tbl finely chopped pickles
paprika
In small bowl combine egg yolks, filling and pickles. Using a pastry bag with a large fancy tip, press a generous amount into the egg half. Sprinkle with paprika... place on a plate & chill until ready to serve
Filling
1 8oz carton cottage cheese, room temp
1/4 cup finely chopped pitted black olives
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 tsp onion juice
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium, combine the ingrdients and blend until smooth. Cover and chill at least two hours
BIG red seedless globe grapes wrapped in feta cheese Lay the feta between layer of parchment paper and roll out thin, cut into squares and wrap the grapes with them to cover the grapes so they look like a ball. Roll in pistachio dust.
I lined my devil egg dish with arugula to lay the grapes on, put a Buddah Hand as the center piece and draped black drapes on the vine for effect.
It's good to do when there will be red wine as the accompaniment.
Normally... and I say normally, I would have taken a crab dip or something but decided to do this after they had Buddha Hands reduced at Central Market from $16 to $4 and I had to have one... :)

Thanks again for posting this for me.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
