Somehow Easter snuck up on us this year and I am still trying to face the fact that I have given no thought whatsoever to holiday celebrations, nor am I even really ready for spring to be here. Luckily for me, I have on hand the key ingredient for Easter excitement: Easter egg dye.
We have spent the last two days dying every egg in our house. We had given my dad a dozen eggs last week and asked him to swap that dozen for a fresh batch. Eggs that are too fresh do not peel well. Use older eggs in the Easter basket.
Now we have another entire dozen to boil and dye. There is nothing more wonderful to an almost-six-year-old who is into color mixing. Luckily we all like egg salad.
Eggs are a great food. If you can find eggs from hens who are wandering eating bugs, those eggs will be far higher in beneficial fats than the regular eggs at the market. The high-fat yolks will, in fact, help you fight depression. To think that I used to eat egg white omelets.
