Happy Thursday! This week I wanted to share some of my top Holi recipes from the archives. Holi is a two day spring harvest festival celebrated all throughout India. It is also known as The Festival of Colors. Bonfires are lit the on the eve of the festival. The second day the celebration continues by people throwing colored powder and colored water at each other. It is a joyous and festive occasion which welcomes spring and brightness in every ones lives. (Think color run times ten!) Huge parties are held and parks are filled with people of all ages celebrating the festival of colors. Here are some ideas to make your holiday more festive!
