Nice Try Pinterest - Deviled Eggs

I love surfing Pinterest. 

I especially love finding new recipes to try. 

Sometimes it works out. Sometimes, not so much.

This was one of those fails. 

This (photo on right) is the image I found whilst scrolling one night. I pinned it. 

I love deviled eggs. I make them all the time. And I thought these would be so cute to bring to my mom's house this weekend. 

I decided to do a trial run. 

I left my eggs soaking in the blue dye for more than an hour because they just didn't look dark when I checked at 30 minutes. 

My eggs looked more like Easter Eggs than flag blue. Disappointment #1. 

In the back of my mind I knew the yolk was not going to look super red. But I tried anyway. I used a very generous amount of red coloring. 

And, at best, they turned out rose pink. 

Trust me when I tell you that these coral beauties actually photographed darker than they were in real life. 

Total bummer. 

But, this epic fail will not dissuade me from testing other Pinterest recipes.
