Eggs, Eggs and more Eggs!

Chili powder makes the prettiest red eggs! There is no need for using chemicals and dyes on our food. Look for other things to use in your kitchen to dye your eggs for Easter. We did and it they turned out amazing! 

Start with 4-6 eggs per 4 cups of water and a Tbs of white vinegar, then add:

         Hibiscus flowers make a danty purple egg
         Turmeric root powder is deep in gold
         Safflower petals turns your egg a sweet pale yellow
         Curry powder or paprika turns them a light orange
         Chili powder, as you seen, turns them a gorgeous red!
         For a brown egg do with Dill seed and Yarrow for yellow.

 You can use coffee beans, cranberry juice or even berries too. I encourage you to look around the kitchen and experiment with you kids.See what things dye your eggs best.

 Bring your water, vinegar and herb or spice to a boil. Add your eggs and simmer for 15 minutes or until the eggs are the desired color.
