Sweet Potato Breakfast Casserole

Most breakfast casseroles I see call for hash browns, and I thought it would be fun to make one using sweet potato hash browns.  I love sweet potatoes and have been cutting one up to saute for breakfast and adding an egg on top for a few weeks.  So this is a make ahead version of that sweet potato hash, perfect for Easter brunch.

Using Natural Dyes for Easter Eggs

Every year at Easter the children and I enjoy using natural dyes for Easter Eggs. We started doing this years ago, when my oldest was enrolled in a Waldorf enrichment program. When they told us to use natural materials to dye the eggs I thought it was kind of silly, after all food coloring is cheap and easy! But once I did it once I was hooked, since it is fun to see the amazing variety of colors that can come from nature.  It is the perfect Easter chemistry project, and the results are always bright and colorful.
