The Duggar family has an interesting nickname for a popular springtime dish. The family matriarch Michelle Duggar sparked internet debate when she posted a photo of her daughters making what are traditionally called deviled eggs for Easter weekend. The photo looks normal enough, but the twist lies in the caption: “Made some ‘Yellow Pocket Angel Eggs’ together with Johannah and Jordyn! They’re one of our favorites! 💛,” she wrote.

Smh,” wrote one user. “What a stupid name for Deviled Eggs,” another put it simply. “Why does your family call them that?” wrote another. “My family calls them deviled eggs.” “I love the name!” one supporter added. “Why give the devil any more popularity when his works already run rampant in our society. (Just sayin).” While others argued in the comments about whether it was sacrilegious or not to call them deviled eggs, one user offered a lesson on the origin of the name: “You know ‘deviled’ is the technique and has nothing to do with ‘the Devil’, right? They’re homonym.” WATCH: Crying! Curls! A Car! The Must-See Photos from Josiah Duggar’s Wedding to Lauren Swanson The New Food Lover’s Companion confirms this statement, with their definition for devil reading: “To combine a food with various hot or spicy seasonings such as red pepper, mustard, or Tabasco sauce, thereby creating a ‘deviled’ dish.” Our sister publication Food & Wine points out that there are many other dishes you can “devil,” like cocktails (think a cayenne pepper rim), or crab cakes.<doc-sep>
Now this is a house that can handle a big family — something the Duggars know a thing or two about. “19 Kids and Counting” stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are avid house flippers, and their latest project is truly magnificent: a 10,000-square-foot home known as the Baylor Mansion in Springdale, Arkansas. With its massive size, the home was designed like a fortress in 1969. “The Duggars have a long history of real estate, long before they were even on TV,” said a representative for the family. “This was by far their biggest real estate project — the biggest flip and the biggest challenge." Above, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar. Peter Kramer / NBC The Duggars purchased it as part of a package deal for two bank-owned homes, April Hamm of Keller Williams Realty told TODAY Home. The total cost for both was $360,000, and they’ve put over $1 million into this particular one, she added. And it’s not just money they invested, but time, too. A representative for the Duggars told TODAY Home that the whole family gets involved with renovations like this one. “The Duggars have a long history of real estate, long before they were even on TV,” he said. “This was by far their biggest real estate project — the biggest flip and the biggest challenge. They had a lot of fun as a family doing it together.” The home has four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and four half bathrooms. It’s got a lot of the original features including rock work (which Hamm noted cost a million dollars back in 1969), 1-foot-thick concrete walls, Vermont slate tile flooring and even an elevator that still works.
