The Easter Edition
Wow, where the heck does the time go. As if being a college student with school aged kids with food allergies was not busy enough, I picked up some local work to add to the mix. Somewhere in all this mess I need to find time to do my schoolwork, housework, blogging, baking and cooking and now Easter Prep. I need an assistant!
As usual, I have big plans for Easter. My whole family will be here with the exception of one niece and of course my dearly departed brother (RIP brother Bob!!). Add to that the complication of a Celiac child allergic to corn. Its extremely difficult for for the corn free kid to enjoy candy. In my mind, kids should get to enjoy candy on Easter!!!! I decided I will make him candy. This sounds HUGE I know but I have actually made large chocolate candy shop quality Easter eggs before in my lifetime so I already have the moulds and such. It is time consuming, however and time is one thing I have very little of. Regardless, it will happen even if I have to stay up until midnights!! I have planned out my week time wise just like I do with my menu's. That hour long wait in the pickup line at the kids school I plan to read my history book. I will get up at 4 am each day to work on stuff, etc, etc. You get the idea.
This year I will have to craftily plan Easter brunch to be ready as soon as we are done church. Everything that can be made ahead will be.
Jello Jiggler Moulded Eggs served with heavy whipped cream
(make ahead and chilled)

Coconut Sugar Ham (roasting on very low while at Church)
Using an old fashioned pineapple brown sugar recipe and using coconut sugar instead.
Make Ahead Mashed Cauliflower (in the Crock Pot)

My plan here is to mix up some fresh fruits
and dress with pineapple juice, a dash of lemon, honey and some coconut creme.
