Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs!
Don’t you just LOVE Easter? It’s one of the very best weekends of the year. It’s all about rebirth and renewal, thankfulness for our beautiful word! In preparation for a great weekend packed with egg hunts, treats, Easter baskets and more, we made naturally dyed Easter eggs! The colors came out well, so lovely and pastel.
To make them yourselves add the following to 2 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt!
.
Blueberry: 2 cups boiled
Yellow onion: 2 cups boiled
Coffee: just black coffee
Beet juice: a cup of juice and 1 tbsp vinegar
Turmeric: 2 tablespoons ground
•The best thing about naturally dyed Easter eggs is that if you decide you’d like to eat them, then you have no worries about only good things being inside. Happy Easter You Guys!!

Perfect Easter “Quarantini”
Easter is one of my most favorite holidays, which is why it warrants a specialty cocktail! This Easter specialty cocktail is so festive, yummy and pairs well with pretty much any food!
Here’s a fun tip too, since you may not be able to celebrate today with your family today, send them this recipe, call them up and have a virtual Easter Martini
aka: Quarantini together!
Recipe:
- 4 oz. Empress gin (hailing from Victoria, BC, this gin is made with 8 different botanicals but gets its color from butterfly pea blossoms!)
- 1 oz. dry vermouth
- Lemon for garnish.
Start by cutting a wedge of lemon, squirt a bit of the fresh juice into the cocktail shaker (this is key and adds a little something extra to the drink). Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, pour in vermouth and gin and shake, shake, shake it up (are you singing a Rooney song right now?). Pour martini into a chilled glass, garnish with a slice of lemon rind!
Happy Easter and enjoy this festive cocktail.
