Easter Bunny Pancakes. Simple Pleasures.
Did you know that if you plant jelly beans in your yard, lollipops will grow in their place? It’s true, just ask my kids. It only works the week of Easter, though. Easter is kind of a big deal around here. Since we do a brunch over at my sister-in-law’s house on Easter morning, and… Continue reading Easter Bunny Pancakes. Simple Pleasures.

Hot Cross Buns (tasty ones)
I’ve been thinking of adding a Hot Cross Buns recipe to my blog around Easter time for years, but one thing has stopped me: Made the traditional way, I just don’t really like them.

My daughter is 5 today. St. Patrick’s Day. The day for the wearin’ o’ the green. The day of my people. So, you can imagine my alarm when she said to me yesterday afternoon “Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’d like everything to be pink, and very fancy.” I should have known it was… Continue reading “Very Fancy” Strawberries and Whipped Cream Sponge Cake
