I hope everyone had a wonderful, blessed Easter. We had a
glorious, quiet day at home this year. No chocolate, no jelly beans, healthy
dinner for 4 (recipes to be posted later this week!) and thrifty outfits. Deviled eggs, Lamb chops., prosciutto wrapped
asparagus, Fresh string beans with Dijon-dill sauce, “smashed” parsnips and
turnips, and for dessert , Mixed berry
trifle with flourless chocolate cake and whipped cream. It was delicious.
Dinner by Katie, Dessert by yours truly.
