Hippity-hoppity, Easters on its way!  If you’ve got plans for a backyard Easter egg hunt or a gathering with family, consider these tips from the Farmers’ Market at LaCenterra in Cinco Ranch to make your Easter eco-friendly and egg-cellent.

• Avoid the plastics! Instead of artificial and imported baskets, use containers you already own for Easter goodies.  Dress them up with ribbons or scraps of fabric.  Opt for paper crinkles, (often found in the gift wrap section), in your basket instead of pesky plastic grass.
• Gift healthy. When giving sweets, look for fair-trade or locally made chocolates to support independent farmers.  Consider balancing the sugars with granola bars, trail mixes or other healthy snacks.  Skip the plastic toys and include books or bubbles for some outdoor fun.
• Use real eggs and natural dyes. Common foods can be used to dye eggs, instead of using chemical food coloring.  Boil Organic/Free Range eggs with water, vinegar and the coloring of your choice:
  • Purple – purple grape juice
  • Blue – Red cabbage
  • Green – Spinach
  • Yellow – Carrot tops, orange peels or lemon peels
  • Orange – Yellow onion skins
  • Pink – Beets or cranberries
  • Red – Red onion skins

HONEY FACTS…
The HONEY BEE is the only insect that produces food for humans.

The benefits of honey are universally accepted. Simple recipes using honey can offer natural relief to respiratory ailments, improve your energy and stamina, and reduce stress. Honey has been used as a topical dressing for wounds since microbes cannot live in it. It also produces hydrogen peroxide.

Preferred as a sweetener by the “carb” conscious dieter, honey is a natural alternative to using sugar.

The Farmers Market at LaCenterra, a weekly Saturday market, is located around the fountain in Heritage Square.

Stay tuned for information on LaCenterra events!
