Easter is in just a few days and I am very excited!
The weather may be cool and rainy here for Easter, so IF that happens I know that people can just hide Easter eggs indoors for everyone...
Wearing your nice Easter clothing to church is proper, and it will be fun to attend church for everyone and that is something that is very Holy on Easter, is to be there at the church....many churches may have Easter egg hunting for everyone, or a noon dinner, but we have always went home after church and had Easter at my family's home...
There are many Easter traditional preparations that my family works to create every Easter and two of them are the Easter Cake and the Deviled Eggs....
Decorating Easter Eggs-----I always loved decorating the boiled Easter eggs using the coloring/decorating kits....I like the PAAS brand..it was always cute and bright!...But any Egg Decorating or Coloring kits works just as good!....We always boiled/colored/decorated the Easter eggs early Easter morning before church and then placed them in the refrigerator, then when we got home we hid them indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather....
EASTER CAKE---It can be any cake in any form you may choose and decorate the top half of the cake with a chocolate bunny, or any Easter candy, we have garnished the cake with Peeps before and used colorful icings. or food color green some coconut for the grass on top half of the cake..it's all fun!....Any cake is fine...whatever you like!
DEVILED EGGS---Wash eggs from refrigerator, place in water in pan, Bring to a Boil, then boil twelve minutes on medium high heat....full rolling boil...After that remove eggs from pan and place in cold water in dish for ten minutes...remove shell by tapping the edge of the shell on counter and remove shell with spoon, wash under the water after removing shell and make VERY sure ALL egg shell is gone..nothing is as gross as enjoying a deviled egg and crunching on egg shell!!!..icky!..so remove all shell.....
Halve the boiled eggs right down middle and remove yellow yolks from all egg halves and place in mixing bowl, mash with fork....I use Pepper, Salt, Vinegar, and Plain Yellow Mustard mixed into the boiled yellow egg yolks....many people like mayo rather than Mustard...I like them both separately!...add these ingredients as you like....I also use small amount of Pickle Juice in mine, I like deviled eggs to be tart and pickley!...haha!
EASTER NOON MEAL---Your meal can be prepared the night before/ or early Easter morning, and refrigerated then warmed at noon after church...You can have ham with vegetables, BBQ, Grill outdoors something, fish, just whatever you want to enjoy for your meal!...
My Grandma would make deviled eggs out of the Easter eggs that we would find...They hid the Easter eggs and they were hidden only ten minutes and we gave our decorated/boiled Easter eggs to her when we found them before noon dinner and they made deviled eggs out of them, but it may be more sanitary if you just hid them in your home and did that...
TABLE DECORATING---Flowers or any Easter table top decoration placed in the middle of your Easter dinner table is traditional and a bright cheerful table top, we've always enjoyed that.....paper plates/glassware/cups, plastic, or real are all good!....I like it to be colorful, cute, and memorable....but you don't have to do all that!...lol...
EASTER BASKETS----I know many children and adults will find Easter baskets waiting on them Easter morning and that is always a lot of fun...maybe many adults will find them too!....haha!
CHURCH---Going to church Easter morning is wonderful and being with your family and inviting your friends who have nobody to spend holidays with and thinking of them as your family is always a good thing to do, invite them over to church and then maybe for Easter activities and dinner...
JESUS---Remembering that Easter is the day that Jesus had risen from the tomb is something we all need to remember, we celebrate Easter because of that wonderful event!...
have fun spending the day with others, talking, laughing and enjoying all the activities together....enjoy a meal together at noon...
