How was your weekend? Ours was really nice. Yesterday, we celebrated Easter at our house with a feast! My Mom, Aunt & I each prepared a few dishes for the occasion. I made pulled pork:
Vegetarian crock pot baked beans (recipe below):
Desserts (sunflower butter cookies, chocolate chip brownies & tarts):
These AMAZING tarts were made by Tina and were leftover from my shower. They were a huge hit again on Easter. Thank you so much Tina!!
My Aunt brought a massive platter of shrimp:
My Mom made a warm chicken salad (I must get this recipe):
My Mom’s strawberry spinach salad:
Amazing fruit (my Aunt also knows I’m a fruit addict ;)):
And My Mom’s sweet potato fries:
My Aunt also brought coleslaw that I didn’t get a picture of. There were TONS of leftovers, but it was all so good!! I am a huge fan of pot luck meals. I’m just not a fancy, sit down dinner kind of girl (95% of the time). What about you?
