Best of Easter 2014 Roundup: 6 Things to Make Now!

April 17, 2014 by Brett Youmans 3 Comments

Best of Easter 2014 Roundup:  6 Things to Make Now! As promised, I’ve been busy egg-sperimenting and creating some egg-cellent Easter ideas and this is a round up of the best from the past few weeks from MisterMartha.com!  Some of the ideas have even been picked up by BuzzFeed, Craftgawker, and FoodGawker!

1.  White Chocolate-Pretzel Easter Egg Nests

While it takes an ordinary bird more than 30 hours to build a nest in the spring, you can make these cute little White Chocolate-Pretzel Easter Egg Nests in just a few minutes!  {Recipe and How-To}.

2.  Easter Egg Paintbrush Cookies

Easter Egg Paintbrush Cookies are so simple, require just 4 ingredients, and ready in minutes.  {Recipe and How-To}.

3.  How to Dye Easter Eggs with Everyday Pantry Items

Just like spring, the humble egg has long been associated with rebirth and renewal — the circle of life.  There are numerous theories of how the egg became a symbol of Easter and why we color them.  Here, you’ll learn how a few things in your pantry can transform an egg into a work of art!  {How-To}.

4.  Roasted Carrot Hummus with Hand-Cut Pita Chips

In culinary matrimony, carrots + cumin + orange = true love.  Throw in some garlic, chickpeas, tahini, and cilantro and you have Roasted Carrot Hummus with Hand-Cut Pita Chips!  The Easter Bunny loves this one and so do I!  {Recipe}.

5.  Egg Shell Seed Pots

During the winter months, I always try to keep something green and spring-like growing.  Wheat grass is one of the easiest things to grow and in the spirit of the season, I planted some seed in egg shells.  Eggs-traordinary don’t you think?  {How-To}.

6.  Farmers Market Spring Egg Bake

Whether you like your yolks hard-cooked or warm and gooey, this farmers market inspired easy baked egg recipe is certain to please — you can’t go wrong with simple, straightforward ingredients in this classic French dish.  My Farmers Market Spring Egg Bake is as easy as it is delicious and can be assembled in advance then popped into the oven and ready in less than 15 minutes.  {Recipe}.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram for more content not seen here on the website.  Happy Spring!  Happy Easter!

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
