Well, Until 2:00 PM today we did not have any colored Easter eggs! I had debated if I really wanted to take the time to dye eggs since our children and granddaughter would not be with us this year. However, my dear husband was looking for an egg and I just had to do something. So, in less than 30 minutes, I hardboiled a dozen eggs and dyed them!
Drops of food coloring on a napkin......
... rub onto cooked eggs, and....
...viola' dyed, marbleized Easter eggs!
No mess, no muss, it could not be simpler. If you want to give it a try sometime, here is the link: Dying Easter Eggs (of course I found it on Pinterest! It says to shine the eggs with oil but I skipped that step.)
Do you know what else is easy? Cooking the entire Easter meal in crock pots!

Nice work! Everything looks great...can't wait to here what everyone thought.
ReplyDeleteVery clever and unusual to dye the eggs that way! I love your egg dish with the added jelly beans and foil-covered choc. eggs too. :-)
ReplyDeleteNow using crockpots to do an entire meal is a great idea! Can't wait for recipes/links. We do a traditional Slovak Easter meal, serving 4 types of meats all cooked the day before, cubed/sliced, and then served on Easter cold. Along with the meat is potato salad and cole slaw, Poppy Seed cake, Nut cake, and homemade cheese. :-)
Now that's a clever way to dye eggs. However no extra dye to dye wool! LOL a number of the fiber dyers on FB had leftover dye from there eggs and dyed yarn with it. But I must admit, I love the marble look of your eggs!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those eggs!!! Very clever! blessings ~ tanna
