For Easter dinner, Josh's mom wanted me to make deviled eggs, but she'd read that you could dye the eggs, just like you would if it had a shell on it. So I looked it up, and sure enough, it can be done. And no, I didn't look it up because I didn't believe her. I just wanted to see if there were specific instructions I needed to follow. You basically do what you would for coloring Easter eggs the "old-fashioned" way-- hot water, vinegar, food coloring. And then the longer you leave the egg in the color, the brighter it gets. They turned out really pretty. Josh and I worked on it together Saturday afternoon, and Matthew watched from his highchair. I think this will become a new family tradition for us.
Food Coloring: Blue, Red, Green, Yellow
Red Eggs
Green Eggs (and ham... ha ha!)
Final Product: Colored Angeled Eggs (well I can't call them "deviled" eggs if they were for Easter, can I?)
Hope you all had a nice Easter. I'm so glad Jesus is alive, aren't you? :)

Very cool eggs! I never even thought of that!
I love your eggs! Very cute Mary!
The colored eggs are so pretty, Mary!! I was inadvertantly dying the inside of our Easter eggs as I was peeling them to make egg salad, they certainly didn't look as pretty ;).
And yes, I'm so glad that Jesus is alive and is coming back very soon!
I love your eggs! Very cool idea!! I'll have to make those for fun sometime. Do send me the link for the instructions, please?
I never would have thought to dye in the inside of the egg, but it looks so neat. :) I just got done shelling all our eggs to make egg salad... some of the dye seeped through cracks on them, but it doesn't look as cool as your eggs did.
