Well, I successfully hosted my first holiday. My sister Laura flew in from Chicago on Saturday and my parents and Emily drove in on Sunday. We had a delicious brunch followed by a visit from the Easter Bunny. (Apparently it doesn't matter that we are all in our twenties...) THANK YOU EASTER BUNNY for your Starbucks coffee, Starbucks gift card, homemade bread & candy. You know me too well.
My Mom contributed the ham... and left most of it with us. I usually try to have at least 2-3 meatless meals a week, but the leftover ham needs to be used... so we will be pigging out this week..ha...ha... Seriously though, I really am creeped out by meat that looks like the animal, so at least with the ham it's only a portion of the pig. Also...at the holidays... I don't follow my "food rules," so there are definitely some things below that are not the norm on our menu.
Sunday: EASTER BRUNCH: Honeybaked ham, cheesy potatoes, roasted asparagus with thyme, fruit salad, sticky buns, carrot cake, sugar cookies frosted to look like Easter eggs and peanut butter fudge.
Monday: ham & vegetable soup, cornbread
Tuesday: ham & noodle casserole, green beans
Wednesday: breakfast burritos, hashbrowns, fruit
Thursday: TJs Chicken Sausages & TJs gorgonzola gnocchi
Friday: homemade pizza
Saturday: date night (using a gift card!)
Perhaps after this week, I will finally feel motivated to eat vegetarian meals all week...
