Easter 2013

Each year, we boil eggs and decorate them the traditional way.  Only 2 of the 4 of us actually eat them once they are hard boiled though.   So, this year, I came across a new idea on Pinterest.  Instead of coloring the shells, color the actual egg whites and turn them into deviled eggs.   It was fun and looked really cute on our table feast.



To color the egg whites here's what we did:  
  • Boiled the eggs
  • Pealed and cleaned the shells and skins off the egg whites
  • Added 1/2 cup of warm water to a cup or bowl
  • Add:  1/2 teaspoon white vinegar & drops of food coloring to get our desired color
  • Drop egg white into colored water and let sit for 1-3 minutes (the long the more intense the color)
  • Sat them on a paper towel to dry
  • Filled them with the yolk mixture for deviled eggs
The next morning, Brittney treated us to a nice breakfast that she cooked all on her own...doesn't this look yummy!!

Scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, hashbrowns & cinnamon rolls...yum yum!

It's also fun to hard-boil them, crack them all around, and then die them. Then you get a white (or pastel) egg with colorful cracks webbing around them. Also good for deviled eggs and egg salad.
