We bless holy items (like a statue) so that they will serve well to remind us of our faith. The item gains no magic power, the blessing doesn't change the status of the item. It is, rather, we who are dedicating the statue to help us in our faith.
This also calls to rememberance on Easter all the little kids took their Easter baskets full of candy and (and grandma always put some hard boiled eggs in our baskets too) eggs down to the alter after mass and the priest sprinkled them with holy water and blessed them. Grandma always made us eat blessed hard boiled eggs for breakfast when we got back to her house after mass. Do you all still do this?
At my Church there is a blessing of Easter baskets done on the day before Easter. Again, this is just us asking God to bless the food we are going to eat and to protect those who will eat it and to help us in our faith. Many folks say grace bfore a meal, this is just a little more formalized, being blessed by a priest, because of the importance of the Easter celebration.
Eggs can be included. Eggs are new life and as such they were included in pagan religion as symbols of such. What else do we celebrate at Easter if not new life, eternal life? The symbol of the egg still serves to remind us of this, pagan origins notwithstanding.
I fail to see how getting our food blessed is idol worship in any way.

is this not worshipping idols?
