To all of the moms, grandmas and pseudo-stand-in moms, we wish you a happy Mother’s Day, for being a caring, loving, fun and compassionate parent – you deserve the best.

The crew at ecoki hopes you all had a great holiday weekend, whether you were enjoying your egg hunt, feasting on chocolate, or just having a great time with family and friends.

We recently reviewed the book Simply Organic: A Cookbook for Sustainable, Seasonal and Local Ingredients by Jesse Ziff Cool, and the folks at Raincoast Books have kindly given us permission to let you try out some of the recipes!

Although the ol’ dip n’ dye is a standby that we’re all pretty familiar with, why not try adding a twist to your tradition this Easter holiday by trying some new techniques?
