So, sometimes we think we have made a decision that is a good one. Like when I announced at Christmas dinner that I was no longer cooking Easter Sunday meals. We are not a religious family, no one goes to church on Easter, so why am I cooking dinner?
Yes, everyone wants to get together. But, it does not have to be on that day. Okay.
And then, my son asks if he can bring the grandkids over for brunch at 11. Uh. Yeah. That works. Charlie wants French toast and Mack wants waffles. Scott says he can make scrambled eggs. I ask my other son if he wants to come and he agrees and suggests blueberry ricotta French toast. So now I have a brunch menu.
French toast
Waffles
Blueberry ricotta challah bake
Bacon
Scrambled eggs
orange juice
Mimosas (for ME)
Well, since Jason is coming across town, I ask if he wants to stay for dinner. Yes.
So at 4 or 5 I will be preparing
BBQ pork roast with sour cherry sauce
Spinach and Cheddar spoonbread
Roasted Brussels sprouts
Cherry pie
Ice cream
You went from no meals to two meals, but I think you'll be enjoying yourself anyway. The blueberry ricotta challah bake intrigues me. I'll be enjoying today because normally Passover coincides with Easter and I have to pick my way around the Easter meal. This year, I can eat it all and my husband made homemade manicotti from a cousin's cherished recipe. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how the bake turns out. We have a Methodist church next to a synagogue with shared parking. It was chaos on Friday.
DeleteI guess your kids don't want to let it go, Denise. ☺ Lucky them - lots of delicious food! We're not religious either, but enjoyed a chocolate easter egg for dessert.
ReplyDeleteSo much for not cooking meals! I celebrate Easter eggs and hot cross buns!
