St. Patrick’s Day GREEN Deviled Eggs

These festive deviled eggs would look great on your appetizer platter for your St. Patrick’s Day party!

They’re so easy to make and all you need is food coloring!

Ingredients

10 eggs

1/2 cup mayonnaise

mustard, chives, bacon bits, pepper, etc. (optional)

green food coloring

white vinegar

ground paprika

Instructions
  1. Place your eggs in a large pot and fill it with water, enough to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. When the time is up, take the eggs off the heat and rinse them with cold water. Peel the eggs and cut them in half.
  3. Take out the yolks gently and place them in a bowl. Set aside,
  4. Prepare your food coloring mixture. Fill up a few glasses with water and add about 3 drops of green food coloring in each glass. Add a tsp of vinegar in each glass to help the egg whites absorb the color. Place the egg whites in the glasses. Take the whites out when they turn a pastel green color, and place them on a paper towel to dry.
  5. Take your bowl of egg yolks and mash them with a fork. Add in 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. You can also add mustard, bacon bits, or chives to taste. You don’t need to add salt because the yolks are already salty.
  6. Take a small spoon and fill the egg whites with the filling. Sprinkle a little bit of ground paprika over the filling.

Looking for that extra special touch for your next party, baby shower, or wedding? These flowers are just the right thing to add that extra pop of color! Arrange a blue rose or two amongst white roses for a unique twist on a traditional bouquet! This works with any white flowers, although some take longer to pick up the color than others. The secret to getting the flowers a beautiful color is in something we all have lying around – food coloring!

1) Vases, glasses, or jars

2) Scissors

3) Food coloring

4) White flowers (roses, daisies, carnations, etc.)

Step #1:

To begin, trim off the ends of your flowers. Cut them at an angle. This helps the flower absorb the water better, thus helping it absorb the color.

Step #2:

Fill your glasses or vases with water.

Step #3:

Add a few drops of food coloring to each vase and place your flowers in as well.

Note: Some flowers take longer to change colors than others. Roses can change color overnight, but daisies can take up to two weeks. Plan ahead if you want to use these for a special event.
