If painting is not your thing or let's say it is, but your skills are secret yet to the world, you might want to try this technique to decorate hard boiled eggs this Easter: lend a personal touch to your decor by dressing your eggs in a paper napkin pattern that catches your eye! When properly stored (3-4 days in the fridge), these easter eggs can be safely eaten afterwards. I suggest you using them to prepare these delicious
hard boiled egg cookies, which are my sons' favorites.
You can even use this idea to decorate other recipes, such as these
brownies baked in eggshellsFinally, if you want other Easter ideas, please check here for
