With the simple turning of a wine glass filled with Easter grass and foil cover chocolate eggs you can make a dazzling candle display for a table centerpiece or to place amongst food dishes. Different colored Easter grass could be used for both for a vibrant festive table or use natural twine colored Easter grass for a more natural look.

With so many processed foods we eat and the idea that nature can create so much more than we know this graphic from www.YourbasedMom.com is very cool. Create beautiful hues by dying your Easter eggs using natural ingredients. Boil each ingredient independently until it comes to a hard boil and then let it sit. It is important that you leave the ingredient in the water as it cools but you can remove contents to a bowl on counter to do this. When the water is room temperature strain contents. Add white distilled vinegar 1/2 cup to three cups water. Use water/vinegar/ingredient combination to dye eggs. Let eggs sit to retain a deeper color.
Save cabbage, onion, turmeric, and paprika and use as a soup starter. Add shredded chicken, potatoes, carrots and chicken bouillon to create a great dish. Amounts and quantities are based upon your likes. You might also water to add a little butter and salt and pepper.
This is a simple solution to cut up ham,onion,cheese,green bell peppers and tomato for an omelet or toppings for a pizza or tacos. Just use a pizza cutter – fast and easy – just make sure you use a nice sharp one to make the process quicker.

1 – is after making the egg naked and putting it in corn syrup
2- is after introducting the naked shriveled egg to water and food dye
This is really cool! It will amaze your kids and teach them some science all at once. Time needed: 4-7 days
Put an egg in a cup and fill it with apple cider vinegar till egg is covered. Cover tightly and let it sit. Each day give it a swirl. At the end you rinse off the egg and VIOLA! A rubber egg! Just be careful…it will bounce but is still delicate and very smelly when it breaks. LOL …Not rotten — just smells like vinegar. Always keep it in the fridge during the whole process!
Added tip: If you place the “naked egg” in corn syrup, it will shrink/shrivel up. The vinegar inside the egg moves through the semi-permeable membrane.
You can then place it in water with food coloring and “color” the inside of the egg and it will fill up again due to osmosis
