easter

Surely last weekend's Easter holiday had its fair share of excitement as well as tragedy for youngsters competing for hidden eggs, candies, etc.

I asked Willow if she wanted to attend a community Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. She said yes, so I asked her to answer my questionnaire:

It's Easter weekend, and we all know what that means -- time to eat some ham and get your crunk on. We've always said if you aren't risking an insulin coma, you aren't really drinking, so here are some Peeps-themed cocktails to prove you love Easter but hate your body...

If you haven't seen this before, now is the time to watch it. It's a piece of video art by Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug as part of a preschool art project called "Big Art for Little People."

If the idea of a human-sized rodent sneaking into your house in the middle of the night carrying a basket of eggs doesn't freak you out, we're pretty sure these photos of creepy Easter bunnies will.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Not because I'm religious, but because I love candy. For the past few years I've noticed larger chocolate bunnies and more labeled as 'milk chocolate flavored'. My question is, "if it's flavored like milk chocolate, that must mean it's not chocolate." But what could it be if it's not chocolate? I had to find out.

You already know that the Easter-seasonal Cadbury Creme Egg is addictive, mouth-watering, one-of-a-kind and coveted the world over. But did you also know just how versatile an ingredient the Creme Egg can be when put to use in some of the most outlandish, Willy-Wonka-on-acid dessert delicacies?

Easter is right around the corner, one of the more kid-oriented holidays on the calendar. It features colorful eggs, a giant talking rabbit and more candy than even a Cadbury executive could stomach.

Over the weekend I saw that we had those Marshmallow Peeps and that we had mini boxes of Rice Krispies so I thought it'd be fun if my daughter and I tried to make my favorite snack, Rice Krispies Treats, using peeps instead of regular marshmallows.

We imagine that at this point in the spring season, you've stocked up on loads of chocolate (or are anticipating a victorious post-Easter candy sale), faux grass and enough hardboiled eggs to live off of for the next six months. You've probably even posed with the Easter bunny, or at least passed one or two in the mall. But do you know why Easter is affiliated with such unique traditions? Read Mor
