Easter

Easter Bread

This Easter was filled with many traditions old and new.  We had the annual easter egg dying.  This year we used brown eggs and the colors came out deep jewel colors.  We baked the eggs in easter egg bread, which a tradition that has roots in my Italian heritage. Easter dinner was lemon and herb stuffed salmon (with fresh herbs from our herb garden), potatoes au gratin (sinfully good), and citrus beet salad with fresh lettuce from our garden and parmesan crisps (made to look like rabbit ears). And of course, our family holidays aren't complete with a spread of desserts.  This holiday was no exception. My aunt is an amazing cook and outdid herself with her signature chocolate cake and trifle. I have no words for how amazing her cake is.  The weather was gorgeous so we ate outside. And because I love flowers I indulged and decorated the house with cheery tulips, daises, and ranunculus.

Just because I love flowers. They make me smile inside.
