HAPPY EASTER & A RECIPE

I understand this day may be difficult for you, with not being able to be with family and friends. Make your focus today on Jesus and what He has done for you. 

If you're not sure who Jesus is or what He's done that's so special, click this link to find out more about Him.

We plan to start our day out with fellow blogger Audrey Roberts receipe for Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Cake (tastes just like cinnamon rolls, but without all the work!). Audrey blogs over at www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/ and boy, oh boy, does she know gluten free cooking!

Easter lunch menu will...

Spiral Sliced Ham

Mashed Potatoes

Green Bean Casserole

Deviled Eggs

Lamb Cakes (Vanilla pound cake shaped like a lamb).

Still needs decorated, but too warm to frost yet.

Lamb cakes are a family tradition, my parents would always make a bunch of these lambs and bunny cakes. They would decorate them all up some in powder sugar, some with shredded coconut, all would have jelly beans, Easter grass and chocolate Easter eggs. They would give them all away to friends and family. Ours can't be given away now, since we ate the ears off of them already hahaha.  

We probably would have a more exciting menu, however hubby is laid off due to the COVID-19 non-essential rules and so I am doing a pantry challenge to use up what we have on hand. I also really don't want to have to brave all the TP crazies at the store either LOL. 

The homeschooled young man is away at college and probably eating a can of SPAM for his Easter meal unless the university is planning something special in the dinning hall. 

This all puts life into perspective and helps us to focus on the real meaning of Easter, it's not the food or the family that is truly important. It's Jesus. 

HAPPY EASTER!

He is RISEN!

Thinking about Easter and how Jesus died this week can make us somber.
Jesus died a horrible death.
Jesus died as our sacrifice.
Jesus took on all our sins.
Jesus took on the sins of the world as He hung on the cross. Today is Good Friday, ask yourself, why would we call this Good Friday, when in real life it was such a difficult day to endure for so many as they stood at the foot of the cross as Jesus hung there to die.
Read about it here, it won't take you too long...
