Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend with loved ones! It feels like Spring really is HERE now, what with more and more flowers in bloom, the earth warming beneath our feet, the daylight pushing later into the night.Whether one celebrates or not, Easter weekend always seems the perfect time to reflect on the good of our past, before shifting focus forward to our future, the opportunities for our own rebirth and resurrection.
And of course, eggs. Lots and lots of eggs. In addition to the colored ones my sister and brother and I would paint, Grandmom always made a batch of the PA Dutch variety, dyed a rusty brown color in yellow onion skins. As a child, I thought "Blech!", but many years later I have developed great affection for them, as well as other naturally dyed eggs. If you are like us, though, and find yourself today with an enormous bowl of hard-boiled eggs, here are a few suggestions to help them disappear. I always love a salad nicoise, and of course the red beet eggs recipe is yet another reminder of home. :-)
Here's to the start of a GREAT week!
