Egg-stravagance at it's finest!


Katie W., South Bend


There's nothing that gets your creativity going like trying to figure out how to use up ingredients before they go bad. Why did I end up with a single beet that was slowly shriveling? How can I use this root abomination without eating it? The perfect answer for this time of year was to use it as a natural dye for eggs. 

After some brief investigation I also found turmeric in the pantry that never gets used.

Combining these overlooked ingredients with hot water and a splash of vinegar resulted in a potent dye for some plain looking eggs. The end result was some beautiful pastel colored eggs, no egg dye kit needed! 

Now if only I can figure out what to do with the turnip hiding in the refrigerator...
