Find Your Chances

Easter ended up being a pretty low key affair for me this year.  Although we were not having a big family gathering, I still did a few activities to get me in the holiday spirit.  On Saturday, I baked Easter Nest Cookies.

Basically, they’re macaroons topped with Hersey’s chocolate eggs.  I don’t think they turned out too bad for a first try, and they were quite tasty too. I have made one resolution though.  I refuse to cook with marshmallow again.  Marshmallow is delicious, but a pain to use in any recipe.

I also dyed Easter eggs Martha Stewart-style.  Martha doesn’t dye her eggs.  She marbleizes them.  The trick?  Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to the color tablet and vinegar mixture.

They didn’t exactly turn out the way Martha’s eggs did, but then again, has ANYONE really been able to replicate Martha’s crazy-difficult crafts?

Unfortunately, a few members of my family got hungry Sunday evening and decided to have egg salad sandwiches.  We’re now down to only a few Easter eggs.

Easter wasn’t without its surprises.  No, the Easter bunny didn’t show up. But, I did receive a lovely surprise from Jared.

Easter Lilies!

They were delivered to my house on Easter morning, and I’ve been enjoying them ever since. Flowers and lots of chocolate in one day = A Very Happy Kate

Hope you all had a festive and enjoyable Easter with your family and friends!
