Happy Easter!!

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you." - Matthew 28:5-7 (KJV)


From my family to yours, Happy Easter!!

God Bless,

Wishing you and yours a Happy & Blessed Easter Sunday!

Easter Dinner - 3

And the stuffing is now finished!

*Bread - Cubed - With Crusts Removed

*Sausage - Sliced and Fast Fried

*Celery - Cubed

*Onion - Diced

*Mushrooms - Chopped

*Broth

*Spices (Not tellin! lol)

I am super pleased that everything I needed to get done today was accomplished. I know that I really pushed myself today - there was a LOT to do. I just pray that I have not angered the Fibromyalgia Gods too much, so that I am not in major pain tomorrow.

I'm just waiting for the stuffing to cool down a bit so I can set it in the fridge overnight.

Tomorrow will be prepping, stuffing and roasting the turkey. And cooking the sides:

*Mashed Potato

*Sweet Potato

*Baby Carrots

*Broccoli

*Gravy

*Dinner Rolls

And of course the cranberry sauce!

Mmmmmmm I can't wait!!

Easter Dinner - 2

Cupcakes are finished! Time to start making the stuffing!

Pictures to follow!

Have I mentioned how much I love my stuffing?? Mmmmm!! Can't wait!!

The Ten Commandments

So it is written. So it shall be done.

I've just enjoyed watching and hearing the word of God through The Ten Commandments, one of my most favorite movies of all time!

Easter Dinner - 1

Today is Good Friday, and so it is time to start preparing for dinner on Easter Sunday.

At noon, the turkey came out of the freezer to begin the thawing process. Today and tomorrow the turkey will sit out on the counter during the day and sit in the fridge at night. It will then be taken out on Sunday morning and prepared to go into the oven at noon.

Tomorrow I will be cooking the homemade stuffing, which will then sit overnight in the fridge.

Some things just taste best the next day - and stuffing is one of those things!

Easter-Egg Apple-Tree

I thought this was very interesting. In keeping with German Tradition, a retiree took two weeks to hang 10,000 colored Easter eggs on his apple tree.

If you know me, you know I do love tradition and I had never heard about this before. I must say it is really pretty to see.
