1. Old Fashioned Copper Colored Easter Eggs & How to Make them
Check out these beautiful Easter Eggs made the Old Fashion way from onion skins.  First boil your onion skins in some water then let the skins & water cool.  Then place your eggs in the cool onion skin water with skins and bring to a boil.  Once at a boil shut it off set your time for 20 minutes and wahla you have beautiful brown copper colored eggs.  They were our centerpiece on the table.  Tomorrow they will be egg salad, deviled eggs lol. 

Do you make your eggs like this?


2. Do You LOVE Peanut Butter?  Well here is a recipe that just melts in your mouth.


These are Bev's Peanut Butter Delights

They are easy to make and just melt in your mouth :)

To make this fudgey Peanut Butter delight
Soften 4oz Cream Cheese & 1/4 c Butter
Once softened place in a mixing bowl and add 3/4 c Marshmellow cream,
3/4 c Creamy Peanut Butter and blend until everything is incorporated.
Gradually add 1-1/4 c Powered Sugar, refrigerate for 1 hour.  Remove from the refrigerator and shape into balls and serve.  You could always roll them in cocoa or melted chocolate and make them into truffles.  Let me know what you think.  They are easy to make and delicious.

  3. They look lovely and brown! I've never dyed eggs, but when teaching my junior high school classes, we made dye from onion skins and purple cabbage - great colours! (not so great smell from the cabbage:)
    Thanks for sharing,

  6. I had no idea you could do that with onions for the eggs...fantastic! Our kids are grown too, and so egg coloring is a distant memory, but I still love it!
