If you are looking for a simple way to entertain your kids and get out of cooking Saturday morning breakfast at the same time, the old “eggs and food coloring trick” may be just the solution you need.   My girls stumbled on the idea this morning and ran with it, giving Paulano an easy blog topic for the day.

Basic steps:

* Heat skillet.
* Whisk eggs.
* Separate eggs into 2 or more bowls.   One bowl should contain a majority of the eggs, and should be used as your “background color”.
* Use food coloring to tint the egg mixtures in each bowl.
* Paint the skillet with egg mixture, using whatever utensils you think will make a cool “brush”.
* Cover drawing with your “background color”.
* Add cheese, cook, flip and serve.
