We to celebrate both Easters (Orthodox and Western) because my husband and his family are Greek Orthodox. Though our celebration on Western Easter is more low key, the Easter bunny and multicolored eggs come then. These are my food-dyed eggs for this year: red/pink = beets, purple = blackberries, yellow = turmeric, blue= red cabbage, green = red cabbage + turmeric. I attempted using onion skins for a dark red but they ended up dark brown, as always. I also tried using spinach in water and in oil but neither mixture transferred the color so I went with a double dip to get a greenish color.
Happy Easter/Palm Sunday!
P.S. I'm woefully behind in my blog visiting/reading because I'm packing like crazy for our move. I hope to find some time to catch up soon because I know there are a ton of great food and ideas I don't want to miss!
P.P.S. I didn't get around to trying all the Easter Ideas but I did make the homemade vegan creme eggs and my son Alex LOVED them!! They were the stars of this morning's Easter basket.

Darn it Maggie...I know you are Martha underneath that blonde hair of yours! Case in point: your Easter Eggs. I knew it! They are so pastel. I bet you were pashmina scarves too!
Just picking. I am going to give you a WOOT for moving. Going to go to your other blog to see how your kitchen is coming along.
Looks like you had a great Easter,
much love,
Christine
Beautiful eggs! We celebrate both Easters too, my husband is Orthodox.
Do you make bright red eggs for Eastern Easter and egg fight?
I made a vegan wacky cake the other day and thought of you. Good luck on the move.
I hope you're having a good holiday and not too stressed out with the move. I saw your new pics up on Flickr and I'm so happy for you!

Hope you had a great Easter and can't wait to see some pics of your new place. BTW I've already fallen in love with the kitchen.
The eggs look fab, Maggie - I've only ever tried dying them using onion skins, you've got some great ideas there for other colours.
