Friday Photos, and Easter Planning


We had more snow this week.  I can't even describe how annoyed I was to see it falling.  Thankfully, it has since melted and the Easter weekend promises some warmth and sunshine.  We are hosting Easter again this year and I'm looking forward to a few days spent unplugged... well, aside from a few Instagram shares maybe :)


I'm still working on the menu for Easter dinner...I am a master procrastinator after all.  I was tempted to make stuffed pork loins again.  The two recipes I love are here and here, both tried and true.  Instead, I think I may do a marinated leg of lamb.  I'm thinking orange juice, rosemary... garlic... wine.  And I've got a few side dish ideas:



My Mom is a master dessert maker, and I know she'll bring a couple of desserts, but I plan to make the Best Ever Carrot Cake again.


I know my kids will be looking for Spinach Dip.


And these two favourite breakfast items will be perfect with all the eggs we'll be colouring.



Happy Easter!

  2. Hi Jenn - thanks for stopping by my blog at mamas*little*treasures yesterday. So glad you joined the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop this week ;o) I LOVE to read blog posts about recipes and see the beautiful photos of your creations! I'm not a great cook (mostly because I spend most of my time making other stuff!) but I truly appreciate those of you who share your amazing recipes with your readers. Thanks for sharing and for joining the blog hop. Hope to catch up with you again next week! Nina @ mamas*little*treasures

  3. ^^^^ agreed - what time is dinner? :)
    Definitely going to try that broccoli salad. I have one kid with egg allergy here, so we don't usually colour eggs or eat them.
    and ugh - the snow. We've had 4 different seasons in one week - heck, in one day! But thankfully we are heading into the weekend with a bare lawn and warmer temperatures.
    Happy Easter!
