We all know how to dye Easter eggs. I mean, geez, you just have to read the directions on the
Paas package, right?!? Hmph.
But some of us aspire to the Sandra Lee brand of semi-homemade, eschewing such blatant ready-made-ness, and will want to dye our eggs without the help of a package. If you're dyeing at home, you can go with food coloring, or go completely crazy and use natural dyes.
Dyeing with food coloring has some benefits because food coloring can make your eggs extremely bright and colorful, like no egg that could come naturally out of a chicken. (Not that anything besides light blue and beige would come out of a chicken anyway.) I mean, haven't you seen the magic of 1 oz. of red food coloring in a red velvet cake?
