Happy Easter holidays
Spain is spoiling us with most beautiful weather for Easter holidays. It is so good to have some days off from work, doing nothing but spoiling ourselves with some nice treats for Easter, spending lots of time outside at the sun, sleeping in and having brunch instead of breakfast.
We are going bit more casual for Easter this year... with some family favorites and plenty of boiled colored eggs. I tired a new technique to color the eggs (well at least new to me) leaving aside all the stuff you can buy in the shops to make the eggs look spectacular. Instead I used some food coloring and the result was as spectacular... The only things you would need is a plastic bag, handful of rice and liquid food coloring. Boil the eggs, put the rice into the bag, add some drops of food coloring and the egg. Then shake, shake and shake again... The longer you shake the more colorful your egg will turn out.
