breakfast was an apple cinnamon dutch baby.

dinner is baked cod, roast asparagus, sauteed carrots, roasted potatoes - we have one dinner guest.

Right now off to walk the dogs - the sun finally came out here...then will play with my plants, of course!

Happy Easter, all!

my famous dinner rolls from the King Arthur flour website -- Soft White Dinner Rolls. These are the bomb. Easy, too. My DIL drools over these.

I'm also bringing cole slaw.

Homemade meyer lemon cheesecake with lemon curd and sliced strawberries for dessert. Yum!

The local Filipino Community Center hosts a big Easter pork roast. It's a mix of community get-together and fundraiser for the center.

Some of it similar to this professional You Tube piece, but it gets the style and the big red napkin. Enjoy!

we do that every so often, but today it was because I was LAZY and didn't get around to the promised pancake breakfast in time. So we're having it for supper. Pancakes and bacon. Various toppings for the pancakes - yogurt, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, nutella, and pancake syrup.

...cuz a turkey's in the oven. I need the freezer space for upcoming farmers market berries, so we're having the turkey. Also roasted redskins and asparagus with orange zest butter. An apple slaw. For dessert, lemon angel pie.

No bread with dinner. I have many loaves of various Panera breads in the fridge -- they were selling day old when I was there the other day. Gotta watch the carbs.

I've done that. With so many people, and so much going on, the most basic things get missed.

To quote Homer Simpson: "Doh!

I'm sure the dinner went well.

20. We did an Easter brunch at home.

Cinnamon french toast, omelets made to order, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, blood oranges, bananas and pineapple), and a spiral ham. Compared to Thanksgiving, it seemed like such an easy meal, and was waaaay tastier than what we normally do for Easter: ham, mashed potatoes, peas, and mashed turnip my SO insists on making that no one ever eats.

My SO seems to think his sister is a particularly fussy eater, so most of our holiday meals have been pretty bland since we've been together (3 years). But this past Christmas and now Easter he seems more willing to change up the menu, and she's been totally open to it. Which is such a relief for me, foodie that I am!

Roasted Brussels sprouts, mashed taters, sweet potatoes with cardamom and tarragon, peas and onions, cauliflower with artichoke hearts. BIL brought over a cherry cheesecake, and we had leftover chocolate and raspberry cake from DH's birthday a couple of days ago.

We also had homemade ravioli, roasted asparagus salad with vinaigrette dressing, cucumber sour cream salad, kielbasi and paprika bacon. DH bought Paska bread, nut and poppyseed rolls made by the women at his Catholic parish. We'll be eating leftovers until Wednesday.
