| Our beautiful eggs created with natural dyes. |
When I was younger spring was my favorite season. My birthday is in the beginning of March, soon after is Easter, and all of the snow melts away to reveal the natural beauty that rested all winter. Every Easter, the Bunny would bring me Play Dough, bubbles, hula hoops, chalk, and all the other toys I was only allowed to play with outdoors. Easter also meant I was allowed to make a mess decorating eggs. This was something I looked forward to as a child and something I still look forward to as a young adult. Coloring the prettiest and brightest eggs that I could turn into rainbow egg salad was and still is my ultimate goal. This year due to my internal (mental and physical) battle with processed foods my goal was modified. I wanted not only to be able to make gorgeously colored eggs, but take the opportunity to use nature’s own beautiful pigments to dye them. I began scouring Pinterest for eco egg dyeing instructions. I realized quickly it was going to be a lot of fun but also a lot of work for results that would vary greatly. I contacted my veggie guru Teresa, and the evening before Easter we got down to business.
