Recipe Time! Leftover Easter Egg Salad
While it didn’t really feel like it since it’s still barely spring out, Easter was this past weekend. You colored your eggs, hid them, found them…and now what? Eat them of course! If you’d like you can just straight up eat hard boiled eggs as is, but that gets pretty boring. My favorite way to use up Easter eggs is by making egg salad. There are a lot of fancy egg salad recipes out there, but I’m going to share my basic egg salad recipe with you.
How To Dye Easter Eggs Naturally
Easter is supposed to be a time of rebirth and rejuvenation. It’s also a time of year when people dole out copious amounts of chocolate and sugar to kids to celebrate a carpenter coming back from the dead 2000 years ago. I don’t see the connection. Nonetheless, Easter is a pleasant holiday and important day for both Christians and worshipers of the Easter Bunny. Perhaps the most common tradition is dyeing eggs. Most people do so using the preset color kits you buy from the grocery store which range from simple color tabs that cost a handful of pocket change, to elaborate setups involving paintbrushes, stickers, foil and other craft standbys. Most if not all of these kits use artificial dyes that are effective, but are made in gigantic factories from chemical compounds and broken dreams. Hell, red dyes are barely existent nowadays on account of the fact they just straight up caused cancer. Never fear however, as there are certainly natural alternatives to cancer eggs! And by alternative I mean the way people dyed eggs for centuries until being replaced with harsh dyes.
Made with local, farm-fresh eggs. Organic god-tier status achieved.
Pizza Lab #16: Pizza Pancakes
Pizza Lab is a fun theoretical column in which Meg A. and Erik S. explore their innermost passion for baking and eating pizzas. It exists purely for the sake of experimenting in the kitchen. It may not necessarily be cost-effective every time, so don’t try this at home kids.
Though the month of March contains a few important holidays (St. Patrick’s Day, the first day of spring, my birthday…), perhaps most important is National Pancake Day on March 4th. National Pancake Day was started by IHOP in 2006 as a way to raise money for charity by giving free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes. Now I know what you’re thinking: this is a pizza lab post, why am I talking about pancakes? It’s because in honor of National Pancake Day we decided to have March’s pizza lab be pancake pizza! We’d tossed the idea around before, and this seemed like the perfect occasion. It’s also a good tie-in to the Pancake Lab we have on our Facebook page.

Snack Report: Chips Ahoy! Ice Cream Creations – Mint Chocolate Chip
Cookies and ice cream – dessert favorites of 5 and 75 year olds alike. I mean, who doesn’t love cookies and ice cream (besides maybe people with Celiac’s and people who are lactose intolerant. A moment of silence for you.)? Cookies long ago entered the world of ice cream though flavors like chocolate chip cookie dough and cookies and cream. Now Chips Ahoy! is bringing ice cream to the world of cookies with their new Ice Cream Creations flavor cookies. I recently tried one of these new cookies.
