What A Wonderful World

Easter was a whirlwind of food, fun and sunshine!

Jacob and I enjoyed a morning at home, sleeping in and 

starting our morning with some cocktails!

I love me some mimosas, lets get that out in the open.

My favorite is to add some Framboise to the mix.

You can get a few different kinds of Framboise but it's usually raspberry, cherry, peach, etc.

Try it. It's delicious.

Then Jacob decided he wanted to make sausage rolls. These are something my Gramma use to make for special occasions. I. Friggin. LOVE. Them.

He did such a great job too :) 

And yes...we ate them ALL.

After consuming my weight in pastry and champagne, I got to business and made some DELICIOUS homemade Mac and Cheese...which I didn't get pictures of because it didn't last long I forgot :) Oops! But I swear it was PHENOMENAL!

Then we packed up the mac and the BBQ pulled pork Jacob made in the slow cooker and headed out to Shelton to a BBQ with some friends.

I dropped off these goodies to my friends who got stuck working at the bar today. They seemed happy to see me when I walked in :)

And these were my DOWNFALL today...chocolate with cream cheese frosting??

I love holidays!

All in all, it was a wonderful day! I'm still battling this weird head cold thing I have...just a lot of sinus pressure and not a whole love else! 

Now I'm catching up on some blogs and episodes of The Voice (I am ADDICTED!) and eating the last of the Easter candy.

What did you do today?? 

What was your favorite treat??

OH! Jacob also started germinating seeds for a hydroponic hanging garden! We don't have literally ANY space in our apartment so he looked up a way to make a hanging garden! It's made out of water bottles and a pump...it's pretty cool! I'm going to do a post once it's up and running. But for now, look how cute these little seeds are! So excited!

Easter Weekend!

Happy Saturday and Easter weekend to you all!!

i hope we all have some fun plans for the next day or so.

I've been feeling under the weather the past three days,

so I've been a little lack on the posting. 

But I'm back and with some fun ideas for Easter!

But first, lets take a quick look at my weekend so far!!

I bought two sets of page markers, basically paper clips. But I love my bicycle so I thought it was appropriate!! 

The second set I bought were mustaches :) They make me giggle.

After a few drinks with some good friends at my bar, I decided that it was time to engrave my name into the already destroyed table! This way, New Haven will always have a piece of me :)

In an attempt to eat better, I made this for dinner last night. I would post a recipe link but I did this all on my own! Go me :) 

As for Easter...I bought some candy yesterday with these in mind and they actually are really friggin cute! While Jacob and his friends did this...

...I made these!

It was easy to make the carrot...the leaves were a bit harder!

I tried a few different ways but found one to be the best.

I only wish I had some cute small children to give these to.

Kids make holidays so much more exciting!

I'm also working on these cupcakes for tomorrow...I plan on sending Jacob to work with them on Monday!!

I also attempted to make my own coffee creamer, since I drink a LOT of it. 

Out of all the recipes I found on the internet, I stuck with this:

Vanilla Coffee Creamer

I may try another one later in the week...it's not bad exactly, it's just not what I'm looking for.

But my efforts to eat better and make things from scratch won over just buying a bottle of creamer at the store :)

What plans do you have for this weekend and Easter??
