Question: Do you have any special dishes you eat or make on Easter?

Last year we had ham, but we normally do carne asada all Mexican style. This year we’re back to carne – my peeps know how to feed people and it’s going to be epic. Mexican food

      Very nice and cute this rabbits! They tease my buds.. of foodie.
      Easter is a time when the stomach is subjected to strain. A little advice do not forget pepper your delicious food with a good pepper as Kampot pepper. Indeed, black pepper has beneficial effects on health, especially digestion.
      Happy Easter!

      I was trying to find some unique Easter recipes and I think that’s what I was looking for. 🙂 I definitely want to try it. Either in my own kitchen or during one of the cooking classes I signed up for some time ago. To be more precise, in February my husband gave me a perfect gift for St. Valentine’s Day – a cooking class for couples organized here in Vancouver so I’m now collecting interesting recipes to come up with during that course and this is a great source of inspiration for both of us. 🙂

      Easter is always a special time around our house with literally tons of good food. My wife always make her “to die for” coconut cream pie.
      Helping my daughter dye eggs is usually a great event to. God bless family!

      Sadly we don’t get together as a family anymore during Easter so it’s just me & the hubs. I might make Cornish Hens this year to “shake things up” and, since I don’t like ham, I’ll be able to eat the main dish as well.

      We always have ham and scalloped potatoes.
      And lots of coconut and lemon desserts desserts.
      Easter is really my top food holiday.

      My mom used to make me a bunny cake for my birthday every year because it always seemed to fall around Easter time. That brought back some memories for me!

      I wish we did more family things for Easter…If we’re lucky Dad might BBQ this year. Fingers crossed.

      We usually have a potluck lunch gathering after Easter service – lots of local foodies eg fried noodles, rice, curries, local dessert/crepes.

      Carne asada sounds way better than ham! We are doing pork tenderloin at my place.

      Oh my! That cake is so cute! I don’t think I’d have the patience or skill to make it look that cute.

      Well today, I hated running. I haven’t been feeling my best. But I also LOVED running today. I got a really good time, even though I thought I did terrible!

      Spring!!!! LOVE!! It still doesn’t feel like spring, though. I make the desserts (guiltless!) for all family gatherings. This year I am planning on making the Easter cake look like an Easter basket! I’m pretty good at decorating cakes–I do it as a fundraiser for our adoption.

      Doesn’t feel like spring here at the moment. Snow is due again the next couple of days. Fine with me since I’m house-bond with my broken ankle for awhile.

      I’m jealous of spring weather. We’ve had snow every day this week and it’s still coming down! Ugh. That bunny cake is super cute, too bad my youngest daughter is allergic to coconut 🙁

      I just found a recipe that I can’t wait to try out for Easter! I don’t love Peeps but it said even if you don’t you’ll love this. 🙂

      Loving the bunnies!
      We usually just have chocolate cornflake nests with chocolate eggs inside as our tribute to Easter…sometimes with yellow fluffy chicks in! Along with a roast dinner. There used to be ten of us round at Easter but now everybody has grown up it tends to just be four/five of us, although my Dad still cooks for ten so there is always PLENTY of food!

      That dress your wearing in that pictures is ADORABLE – I love the color block! Can I ask where you got it? Too bad I’m not the only person in my life who really isn’t in to coconut, or I’d be making that bunny cake right now. Usually for us, Easter dinner looks an awful lot like Christmas dinner (ham, mashed taters, rolls, etc.) with one very special difference – Peeps.

        I am pretty sure it was just from one of those random “Fashion 22 Forever Charlotte Girls” stores at the mall.
