Eggs Of Every Hue


Yes, it's a bit messy.  But so worth it!


Eggs dyed in cups of hot water,  a tablespoon of vinegar and a few drops of food coloring. My kids loved making eggs of every hue by dipping into more than one pot.

P.S.  We will be eating quite a bit of  deviled egg, egg salad and potato salad (and anything else I can think of with boiled egg) in the next week.   Maybe I should send out the SOS for egg recipes now.

    I always liked curried eggs-make a curry sauce with a basic white sauce ,fold in the sliced HB eggs & serve over hot rice! Yum

    They turned out so pretty. I love egg salad sandwiches after Easter. It's the only time I eat them which seems to make them eggstra special. :)
    Happy Easter to you.

    That is so much fun to do with kids, we don't bother now that they have flown the coop. You have a few to get through.

    Love the blues - love the hues - now I know this is probably weird - but the Monk in me would arrange those in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple -
    one of the weird things I'd do!

    What beautiful shades you made!

    My Aunt used to make a casserole with left-over hard cooked eggs, chopped. She had some sauteed celery and onions to the eggs in the casserole and then poured a slightly spicy white sauce over it. Topped with cheddar cheese and bread crumbs and baked until golden, it was a different way to use up extra eggs!
