Easter Fun

We all enjoy the fun of decorating Easter eggs and highlighting spring with its beauty and new life. Plan to have fun together this year enjoying the holiday. Put together baskets with decorated eggs, LaraBars (see Prepared Products section for legal flavors), small toys and a trail mix made of mixed raisins, nuts, unsalted sunflower seeds and dried cherries. See our Easter Fun page for more ideas!  

Have you ever tried Pickled Eggs? They might be fun to experiment with when you have extra hard boiled eggs to use up! We remember seeing them in a big jar up on the tall counter of Philppe's Restaurant in Downtown LA, where they are a perennial favorite! They're also reported to be popular "Pub Grub" around the world. Try one of our two recipes and see what you think! 

 

Try decorating eggs with an extra creative touch. See our Easter Fun page ideas!  

 

 Put some LaraBars in the basket... 

Grow your own Easter basket! See our Easter Fun page for how-to information!
