I firmly believe that you are never too old for Easter egg decorating. One of the most fun parts of Easter is dyeing eggs with food coloring. The most traditional way to dye your eggs is using artificial vibrant colors from food coloring (the kind that comes in little plastic bottles and can be purchased from the baking aisle of any grocery store). While these are a surefire way to help you create a realistic sunset or pastel ombré effect on your eggs, there are a couple of more natural ways to dye Easter eggs.
I’ve always liked the idea of natural, homemade alternatives to artificial dyes and foods, but the continued convenience of running to the store kept me resistant to change. When my first daughter was born, though, natural products and non-processed foods became the necessity. She’s intolerant to countless foods, fragrances and common household chemicals with just a few dozen safe ingredients. Learning to live life with an infant while revamping the way we eat, cook, and clean was overwhelming—but I’m so thankful for it now. Cooking from scratch, choosing fresher ingredients, and getting clear on what we’re putting on and in our bodies has been a benefit to our whole family, while also keeping her allergic reactions away.
