Inside-Out Easter Eggs

Hana loves eggs - as long as they look like eggs. She only likes hard-boiled eggs. She won't eat scrambled eggs. She won't eat fried eggs. She won't even eat my personal favorite, an egg sandwich. She removes the egg and basically munches on a grilled cheese for breakfast. Do I care? Not really. She'll still eat an egg - as long as it's hard-boiled. What I absolutely love, however, is that she only eats the white part. She'll leave the yolk in the bowl. I wish I could do that. I personally love the yolk. It's my favorite part of the egg! Probably because it's the unhealthiest part. LOL So needless to say, we eat a lot of hard-boiled eggs around here. Or Hana does at least! Yep, when she's not begging for oatmeal (have I mentioned how much I'm in love with the fact that she begs for oatmeal?), she's begging for an egg. So I took it upon myself to make them a little more intersting.

1. Boil some eggs. If you don't know how (Like my husband who is a fabulous cook, but can't boil an egg - no really. He adds them to already boiling water! Okay, he did it once, but I'll never let him live it down.) all you do is put eggs in a pan and cover them with water. Once the water begins to boil, set the timer for 15 minutes. They'll be nice and hard-boiled after 15 minutes.

2. Drain off the boiling water and pour in cold water to cool them down so you can handle them.

3. Add a couple drops of food coloring to several glasses of water.

4. Crack the shell of the eggs. A lot. But leave the shell on and in tact. Drop an egg into each cup of colored water and set the timer for 10 minutes.

5. Remove the shell, rinse and enjoy your beautiful eggs!
Yummy!

  2. Have you ever tried scrambled eggs with a little bit of Louisiana hot sauce on them ? How 'bout,Ketchup ? Maybe Hana Grace just needs a bit of flavor.
