And Enchanted and "Eggstra" Special Easter Story

A Story for Tracie, and What to do With Leftover Easter Egg Shells.

What do a five-year-old’s Easter tale, a magical sugar egg, and a kitchen full of hard-boiled chaos have in common? They’re all part of one rather unforgettable spring food-related memory — a story of how love, loss, and a little imagination helped one family hold on to hope.

In this episode of Family Tree, Food & Stories, co-host Nancy May shares a personal story from her childhood, when she was trying to make sense of her younger sister Tracie’s illness. You’ll hear the original Easter story that she wrote for her — complete with some bunny magic — listen in and learn how food and storytelling can become powerful tools for healing, even in the smallest hands.

You'll also get some ideas of what to do with dozens of hard-boiled eggs - after their colored and collected, and the story of how to make sugar pictogram eggs. You'll have fun with this episode. We promise.

✨ 3 Takeaways We Think You'll Love:

• Hear about the Easter story written at age five to comfort a sister during her hospital stay — and how it still heals a heart today.
