Weekend Bits + Easter
This had to have marked one of the best Easters yet. I whipped up supper at a leisurely pace versus my usual panic-mode that makes me melt along with the butter and we were in great company {not to mention baby brother made it into town + my other baby brother got offered another job at the bank}!
A very happy Spring menu of honey ham {glazed with J’s own honey}, smoked turkey, goat cheese polenta, stuffed baby peppers, baked brie, bacon deviled eggs, grilled asparagus with hollandaise, caprese salad, strawberry spritzers, and a smoked cheesy casserole {that despite never making it to the table having been forgotten about in the oven} was sure to make a delicious midnight snack later on. On the dessert bar: carrot meyer lemon cupcakes and banana pudding!
I just wanted to gush about these peppers for a moment. Aren’t these the most gorgeous organic baby peppers? I stuffed and roasted them with a combination of pecorino-romano, parmigiano-reggiano, ricotta, and mozzarella–verdict? Delish! {I think a pancetta & goat cheese filling would be nice too}
It’s definitely been an orange and pink kind of week…
Orange roses from one of my favorite people in the world.
I feel like gearing up for Easter, my body celebrated with lots of food {and with the excited anticipation of baby brother coming into town}!
A responsible breakfast of sorts. Wanna know a secret? I really hate bananas straight up. I’m all over some banana pudding but eating a banana always feels like a chore to me but I eat them because they’re so good for you.
These aren’t as good for you but I just can’t resist my carbs. I always joke that I never go to the mall for the clothes, I go there to ravage the food court of junk food.
A solo lunch of Kimchi Bibimguksu. A great meal to have when you’re pressed for time or only need a one person quantity of something.
At my favorite pizza joint. {Remember what I said about french fries}?
Filet/brussel sprouts. Excuse me for the rare-ness. {I like my beef practically mooing}
and a wonderful fire to cap off a fabulous weekend on a colder night {and of course today, it’s 75}.
Happy April Fool’s Day and what not.
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

Aw it sounds like you had a great Easter!
Those peppers look absolutely perfect! The roses are gorgeous too! It sounds like you had a wonderful feast! I could go to the mall for the food alone too! I love the hot pretzels. Funny I do not like bananas either. I like banana bread but, not bananas which is too bad because I’m always lacking potassium. Glad you had a great Easter!
artificial banana flavored stuff is my favorite breakfast food, real ones are good too! dehydrated is yummy
Happy Easter
That was quite a feast you prepared for Easter and your baby brother.

I want to attend your party in the near future! Look at the drool-worthy foods!! Glad you had a great Easter with your loved ones
All that food… All that meat…
That meal had better not have been an April Fool’s day joke. I can imagine your brother becoming pretty upset.
Looks like you had a great Easter!
I am so glad you had such a great Easter! Thank you for sharing. What a lovely dose of deliciousness. I hope you have a good end to your week and an even more blessed weekend.
Thank you so much, Monet! Hope little Lucy enjoyed all the food you prepared and consumed over the weekend….can’t wait to see her!!
I hope you did too!!
It was most definitely real =)
You’re more than welcome =)
I bet the girls looked cute Easter egg hunting!
Right? *yuck*
I suppose it’s apparent that my favorite color is pink? lol
It’s the best way to do it with food =)
meee too =)
Ahh lovely! Looks wonderful… you must have had a great feast…
OMG. What an amazing Easter spread. It’s almost a blessing in disguise forgetting to bring out a dish when serving up a feast like that. At least you have something to enjoy the next day. Was it meant to be a ‘smoked’ cheesy casserole, or was that the result from leaving it in the oven? Sounds like a happy accident!
Right? It was stuffed with tons of smoked gouda, mozzarella, and a bit of smoked pork =)
I feel like I always aim to, lol.
Hi Angela, wow… that’s a wonderful spread. Look like you really had a fun and fabulous Easter.:)
Regards.
Hope yours was lovely, Amelia!
