Creative Easter eggs decoration -Dinosaurs land- DIY

Posted on April 4, 2015 | Leave a comment

As i always say, my son is my source of inspiration. He is so much into dinosaurs lately, so a NADYnosaurs land is the perfect idea for this year’s Easter eggs.

As promised in previous post and If you’re willing to recreate this dino park, follow me step by step in this tutorial, it’s much easier than you think.

To make the dinosaurs eggs, you need first to dye the hard boiled eggs with a color of your choice. To marblize the dyed eggs (to give the effect of real dino ones), add a tbsp of olive oil to another color, preferably darker, then dip them in and let sit about 2 minutes before you pat dry.

I always recommend wilton coloring gel for healthy results. Add vinegar to your colors for vibrant effect.

We tried as well with brownish colors to make it as real as possible!

For the Nadynosaur banner, click here to download the file, you can easily change the name on it.

The biggest the park you want, the more eggs you should decorate. The files i attached present 3 color options of the dinosaurs; blue, green and orange. You can change easily to your favorite ones (vector files). Enjoy the best moments with your kids. Nothing better than seeing their happy faces! Just priceless!

Happy Easter everyone. المسيح قام، حقاً قام

Easter bunny burlap runner – DIY

Posted on April 2, 2015 | Leave a comment

It’s the third item in the burlap inspired decoration. After the door wreath and the bunting here we DIY a table runner to complete the set. A beautiful yet simple craft to be able to involve your kids.

First you need to cut a burlap sheet, convenient size to your table (mine was 170x45cm) and better to sew the edges so it doesn’t unravel. Cut out some colored felt bunnies (or other material, whatever you have available). Click on bunnies to download a high resolution file of the bunnies silhouette, i made it as big as could fit on my runner size.

With the help of your kids, paste the bunnies on the burlap runner, i used simple UHU glue, but make sure you put something under it to protect the table then glue the pompom tails.

Our home decoration is done now. We still have to decorate the eggs and we are ready for Easter. Don’t miss the coming post for our creative Easter eggs. Stay tuned i am sure you will love!

Romano and pineapple salad

Posted on February 19, 2015 | 1 comment

I heart salads! It’s my staple option at any time of the day. Salads are so versatile, catering to all tastes and satisfying the cravings.

I believe there is no single ingredient from the food pyramid you can’t stir in. Personally i like adding fruits and nuts.

For this fool proof salad you need (yield 2-3 portions):

mix green leaf (arugula, red oak, green oak and frisé), 200g
handful walnut
shaved aged romano cheese, about 50 g
3-4 slices fresh pineapple

You can use any type of green leaf of your choice. If you’re not fan of the sharp and piquant flavor of aged romano cheese, you can replace it with parmesan and it can still do the balance with the pineapple.

For the dressing you need:

3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp brown sugar

Isn’t so inviting? Indulge in this healthy and succulent dish and do not hesitate to unleash your creativity to come up with your own signature salad.
