Easter Eggs Decorated without Vinegar!

I love this fun way of decorating Easter eggs that I found last year. I'm not sure where I found this but it made my life better because I didn't have to have a house smelling like vinegar when we decorated eggs!

To get these cool colors you need:

cool whip

food coloring

skewer or a knife

Spread cool whip in a baking dish. Add a few drops of food coloring. If you do two colors then you can use the skewer or knife to spiral them around in the cool whip. Roll the eggs in the colorful cool whip and then place them on a paper towel on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Rinse the eggs and dry them. 

The only problem with doing the eggs like this is that they were so awesome our youngest son didn't want to let us eat them!

Like so many other families we like to have egg hunts with plastic eggs filled with treats. We started a tradition many years ago to have one empty egg. This is the most special egg and all the boys want to be the one to find it. They know that this represents the empty tomb. We believe Jesus died and was resurrected for everyone so we could all live again. This little tradition helps our family remember the reason why Easter is so special to our family.

Easy Baked Tilapia

from tasteofhome.com, lightly adapted

4 tilapia filets
3 tbsp butter, melted (or extra virgin olive oil to make this dairy free)
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp paprika

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place tilapia in an ungreased 9x13 baking dish. In a small bowl combine the butter (or oil), lemon juice, garlic powder and salt; pour over the fish. Sprinkle with oregano and paprika. Or you can live on the edge and do what I did: I sprinkled all the ingredients over the fish (eyeballing the amounts). 

Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. We had this with rice pilaf and green beans. This was healthy, easy and inexpensive.
