Dyed Greek Red Easter Eggs
I researched how to dye Easter eggs online, but I changed the technique to get better results. My husband's family is Greek. After Easter dinner, a tray of red-dyed hard-boiled eggs is placed on the table. Everyone chooses one egg and plays a game to crack them for a fun and joy-filled way to help celebrate the resurrection.
