Music for Easter
"Then Came The Morning" By Gloria Gaither & Guy Penrod
He is the “Resurrection and the Life” ~ “He has Risen”
The most formidable door that humans face is the door of death! 

Throughout history no man has been able to break down this door ... except one! 
All religions have the graves of their founders, and inside them lay the bodies of these men ... but one grave is empty, the grave of Jesus outside of Jerusalem! 
He is the “Resurrection and the Life” 
and if we believe in Him, we too will never die!
~ Amen. Hallelujah!!! ~
~ He is not here; He has risen!

Luke 24:6 
~ I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, he who believes in Me [who adheres to,

trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me] has (now possesses) eternal life.
John 6:47 (AMP)

click for ~ Four ways to have a healthier Easter

Froothie - these are delicious
Raw Food Recipe of the Week - Chocolate Easter Egg
Like Cadbury’s Creme Eggs -but healthy.
Gooey Caramel Cream
1 1/4 cups cashews, 1 tsp vanilla extract,
1-2 Tbl sweetener eg -rice malt, maple syrup, raw honey, coconut sugar, 
1/3 cup water, Pinch Celtic sea salt or Pink Himalayan Salt
2 Tbl coconut butter, warmed to liquefy
PS - make coconut butter by processing dessicated coconut til 'buttery'
(I simply added dessicated coconut to processor and blended it all well.)

Chocolate
1/2 cup cacao butter or coconut oil, 
1 Tbl carob powder, 1 Tbl cacao powder, or 2 Tbl cacao,
1 Tbl lucuma or raw honey
1 Tbl sweetener eg  -rice malt syrup, coconut sugar, palm sugar, maple syrup, carob molasses, 
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Make caramel cream by blending all ingredients on HIGH in blender until smooth. 
Then make chocolate by combining soft/melted ingredients in food processor
 OR to melt oil etc - stir til smooth in a small jug or bowl -placed in a pot of hot water.
Pour chocolate into each egg mould so 1/3 is filled. Set in fridge, til choc will push up sides of egg.
Then spoon caramel cream into the mould –
be careful not to add too much as you want it to be encased in chocolate.
Then pour over some more chocolate so there is no trace of the filling. Set in the fridge or freezer.
Use half egg moulds or any large mould or sturdy cupcake case.

A fun Easter choc craft cake
Children can create beautiful choc 'windows'
Using a thick texta, draw a square on a sheet of paper - (just taller than your cake)
Place that square under baking kitchen paper.-
then on the baking paper drizzle melted choc -
-from a little cup with lip or a teaspoon -around the square shape.
Then fill in the square by drizzling haphazardly within the square,
Use 3 colours of choc -ie white, dark and dairy. Make 6 choc squares.
Make sure the inner squiggles touch the edges and each other..so it stays together after refridgeration.
When cold/hard, peel off the paper,
then place the choc squares around an iced or creamy cake,  tie ribbon in place.
Maybe deco centre of cake with more choc drizzles or make another square and/or place choc eggs in centre.
Make home made choc
mix together in a cup, placed in a pan of hot water.
 ½ cup coconut oil, 1 tspn vanilla,
1/4-1/3 cup cacao powderSweetener to taste  eg 2 tbsp of raw honey or maple syrup
optional - ¼ cup cacao butter or 1 Tblspn arrowroot
Remove from heat, sit to thicken a little, then drizzle, - warm choc again if it sets.

How to Naturally Dye Eggs a Crimson Red:
Dye Easter eggs red to represent the blood of Christ.
How to get such beautiful crimson? It's actually pretty simple:

Dry "paper skins" from yellow onions. (from about 5-10 yellow onions)
5 cups water
2 TB white vinegar.
Add all ingredients to a pot, boil for 30 minutes, with a lid on. Allow water to cool.
After the water is lukewarm, place white eggs in, adding water enough to cover eggs,  
turn the burner back on to hard boil them- as they cook they will turn a beautiful crimson color.

These photos aren't edited- this is the real color of the eggs! 
I will never go back to food coloring again- God's natural colors are so much more vibrant!!
Another bonus- the color doesn't come off on hands.

After Easter dinner, we go around the room, cracking the eggs against each other to see who's egg can "win". 
As we do so, we remember:
"And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, 
and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it."
Matthew 28:2
He is no longer there, He is risen!

Pop balloon, roll in glue and sprinkle onon sparkle,
Glue on eyes, buttons, make humptydumpty, tie on bows, as desired

How to Dye Easter eggs
Healthy tip for natural dyes- use beetroot juice, liquid cacao or coffee,
try mashed pumpkin for orange.
Decorate and Display DIY Glitter Eggs
How to Make Homemade Easter Eggs
How to Make Easter Eggs
Tip, After hard boiling the eggs, 1. crack them gently all over, don't peel yet.
2. Sit them in dye 3-4  hours in the fridge,
3. Peel the shells off and voila - stain-glass eggs

How to Tie Dye Easter Eggs
The important thing is to NOT roll the eggs more than a couple times. 
Any more and you end up with solid color eggs.
What you'll need:
hard boiled eggs
white vinegar
food coloring
colander
paper towels
rubber gloves
Put a few hard boiled eggs into colander and splash with white vinegar.
Starting with lightest color, put one drop of food coloring onto each egg.
Roll around the colander just a couple times.
Take your second color and place a drop on each egg and roll a few more times.
Let sit for 5 minutes for the dye to set. Rinse under cold running water.
Pat dry with a paper towel and let fully dry for at least an hour. 
After a few hours you can wipe with oil for a glossy finish
A few notes:
-wear rubber gloves if you don't want dye on your hands. It stays on the skin for a few days.
-put plastic wrap on your counter under where you'll be drying the eggs. The dye tends to stain the counter tops.
-don't use more than 2 colors per egg or the colors became too blended. 
-only place a few eggs in the colander at a time. Too many and they break the shells.
-make sure you let them sit the full 5 minutes.
Any less time and the colors will be pastel and muted (which is fine if you're going after that look).
-and have fun!
