Colored Angel Eggs

April 5, 2014 by Patti 13 Comments

We had a get together at our house last night for our Freedom Session facilitators.  If you haven’t heard me talk about Freedom Session before, it is a 9 month long class that Mr. OTN and I direct at our church.  It is basically a healing/discipleship journey that  uncovers the roots of pain in our lives and invites Jesus Christ to heal those areas of our hearts (if you are interested in knowing more you can view the Vimeo of Mr. OTN’s and my personal story on my ABOUT page, where you’ll also find a link to the Freedom Session website).

Anyhoo, one thing you’ve probably heard about us “church folk” is that whenever we get together we have plenty of food!  So while I was wondering what I might prepare for last night’s gathering I popped on over to Pinterest and found these darling colored Deviled Eggs.  I’ve decided to rename them Angel Eggs in honor of our dear facilitators who are real life angels (Mr. OTN and I teach the large group portion of FS each week but our facilitators lead the small groups and pour their lives into each of their participants all year long – so they are angels indeed).

Deviled Easter Eggs 002

These are so simple to make and the pictures really tell the story of how to make colored Angel Eggs.  However, for those of you who have never boiled an egg I’ll share the “how to”:

Place eggs in a stainless steel pan and cover with cold water.

Bring the water to a boil and then set the timer for 10 minutes.

When the timer sounds remove pan from stove,  drain off the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until they are cooled.

Crack and peel eggs.

Cut eggs in half lengthwise.

Remove yolk and set aside in a separate bowl.

Deviled Easter Eggs 005

 Drop halved eggs into colored water (you can either use food coloring to color your water or an Easter egg coloring kit from the store).  When your eggs have reached the desired color remove and drain on a paper towel.

Meanwhile, mash your egg yolks, add mayonnaise (to desired fluffiness), dry mustard and a little salt to taste.  You can do some other add-ins like bacon, chives, baby shrimp, etc.  Place drained egg halves on a plate, top each will egg yolk filling (if you have a cake decorating kit you can make it look fancy-schmancy . . . but I didn’t . . .  and I was in a hurry . . . so what you see is what you get!).  Sprinkle a little paprika, or any type of garnish you’d prefer on top of each egg.

There you have it!  Bee-u-tee-ful colored Angel Eggs!

 Of course we had a lot more food than just our Angel Eggs by the time all of our facilitators arrived.  It was GRAND!

You can’t begin know how much we love these people that we get to direct in Freedom Session (tears of joy as I write).  As we draw near the end of another year together, and graduation for our FS participants, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for these caring and generous men and women who have overcome pain in their own lives and have chosen to be people who GIVE BACK to others what God has given them.

So, what do you think of these colored Angel Eggs?  Cute, yes?  I also saw some eggs on Pinterest that were cracked before dyeing with their shells still on.  After the shells were removed the dye was darker in the area where the shell was cracked.  You can see these and other Spring/Easter Decorating ideas on my Pinterest board.  I also have some Spring and Easter Recipes on my Food Glorious Food and Appetizers Pinterest pages.  As I’m sending you over there I’m thinkin’ that I really need to get those boards more organized!  “Someday” I will find the time.

Do you dye Easter eggs at your house?  What different types of dyeing techniques have you tried?  Which is your favorite?  I love hearing new ideas!

Blessings,

    When the kids were little we always dyed Easter eggs, but I’ve never peeled them first. What a cute idea! I just viewed your Vimeo and was so blessed by your story. It is a wonderful thing you are doing to help people. Blessings my sweet friend ~Deborah

    It sounds like the group you and Mr. OTN is a great thing! We have a similar class in our church and it’s wonderful to see Jesus freeing people from past hurts and moving on in freedom! Now I get your blog name a little more–old things new really applies to faith and DIY projects all at the same time!
    I’ve always wondered how to color boiled eggs and now I know! Thanks so much for sharing this at Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop!

Welcome! I am Perfectly Imperfect Patti and I’d like to invite you to come in and take a seat in this creative space of mine.

I love the process of hunting for orphaned and cast off furniture (particularly my Chosen Chairs) and then taking the time to transform each piece into something new and beautiful. This process allows me to reflect upon my own story of transformation and blesses me over and over with each piece I redesign.

For those wondering if this program really works, For those wondering if this program really works, I’m still going strong with @e2mfitness after four rounds, and now that they’ve released a new cookbook (available on Amazon) I am more excited than ever about my fitness journey. This is the first in a series of cookbooks, and this one features delicious beef and poultry recipes. It also includes dozens of recipes for dressings and spice blends to use in cooking, along with a weekly meal planner, water tracker, weekly exercise log, etc. 
What is E2M? It is a virtual, eight week, rapid body transformation program for adults, which consists of workouts, meal, plans, cooking classes, mental fitness, and personal coaching. Workouts are designed for all fitness levels and can be done at home or in a gym. Our fit family is made up of people from across the world, from various backgrounds and ages, and we all have one common goal: to encourage each other to reach our personal best lifestyle fitness goals. After the first eight weeks, the program is available for free to maintain progress. This isn’t about getting skinny. It’s about building a healthier lifestyle, living longer, and getting the most out of the one body you’ve been blessed with. The next round opens on Thursday, and I truly hope you’ll check it out!

“In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and “In 1965, Charles Schulz, a devout Christian and creator of the Peanuts comic strip, was asked to create a Christmas special for CBS featuring the Peanuts Characters. He agreed with one requirement, that they allow him to include the story of the birth of Jesus. Although the stations executives were hesitant and tried to convince him otherwise, Schulz was insistent. As a result, for the past 50 plus years, millions of people have watched “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and heard the story of Jesus and “what Christmas is all about.”

It wasn’t until a few years back that I realized a “hidden message” in the film. Linus, a child who seems to have some insecurities as he carries a security blanket with him at all times. In fact, Linus NEVER drops his blanket, except once....

While sharing the message of “what Christmas is all about,” Linus drops his blanket at the exact moment he says the words, “fear not!”

In this seemingly innocent moment, Linus delivers a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. We are to “fear not”, for Jesus is born. We needn’t rely on material things for security, we have God with us, “Immanuel”, (Matthew 1:23) Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior - the true meaning of Christmas.

Awhile back, someone informed me, indignantly so, that Linus picks up his blanket at the end of the speech so my interpretation must be wrong. Well, he was right, Linus does pick up his blanket at the end of his speech. However, he “drops” it again later... 

Amid big, bright, colorful, shiny artificial trees, Charlie Brown chose the least of these, a little, wooden tree with just a few branches. Shortly thereafter, Linus uses his blanket to wrap about the base of the tree and says, “Maybe it just needs a little love”. In that moment, the tree “awakens”, stands tall and firm. A reminder that no matter who we are, how many mistakes we’ve made, a “little love” can make all the difference.

Let’s strive to “fear not” (Luke 2:10) and “love one another” (John 13:34), not just at Christmastime, but the whole year through.”
