Coloring Easter eggs
As a kid, Easter meant dyed eggs and candy way before it meant anything religious, and with a new niece around, I've decided to revive the old tradition that my sister and I had of coloring eggs for Easter.
But with concerns about food coloring potentially causing hyperactivity in kids, even though the Food and Drug Administration considers it unlikely, I've browsed stores looking for natural egg dyeing kits to no avail.
My fascination with delicious but hand-staining beets, which are actually used as coloring in juices for instance, and my tendency to spill coffee every time I'm wearing white, reminded me that there are plenty of colorful, naturally-occurring substances that can dye an egg.
