It’s the time of year when the cookouts happen on a regular basis, grills get used constantly, and times are enjoyed with friends and family. That doesn’t have to mean that all of the work you’ve done since January trying to get healthy has to go to waste. So many of the foods served at summer parties have alternative ways to make them so you are serving or bringing something that will keep you on track.
Deviled Eggs are a classic appetizer found at summer cookouts. A typical recipe calls for loads of mayonnaise, too much salt, and other less than healthy ingredients. This recipe for Deviled Eggs uses substitutions you wouldn’t even think of to keep it low in calories and good for you.

12 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1/3 cup nonfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
