I have been so busy this past week! I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. My extended family got together on Saturday. The women of the family decided that we were tired of the same holiday meal, you know...the ham, potatoes, green bean casserole, jello salad, blah blah blah. This year we decided on Italian! My Mom made a Lasagna that was delicious, she also made a Strawberry Pie. One of my aunts made Spaghetti, we had garlic bread, a wheat salad, a broccoli salad, tossed lettuce, and I made a 7 layer salad and a Tiramasu Toffee Torte. Everything turned out great and it was a nice change.
All the kids got to play together, which was nice to see. We all live very close and it is very rare that we all get together. It is pretty sad actually. When my Grandmother was alive we get together practically everyday. Everyone would stop by her and Grandpas house and usually stay for dinner...and occassionally a game of cards. My Grandmother has since passed (almost 9 years ago) and it hasnt been the same. She was the clay that molded us together.
On Easter Sunday the kids and I went to church and then went to my Mom's house. She made a hashbrown and egg casserole, ham steaks, and I made Blueberry Muffins. After lunch we dyed Easter Eggs and then hid them all over the house and yard. We stayed until about 3pm and then I had to get home to finish packing up my house. (More on that later.)
I will add the recipes that I made for Easter following this posting.
