Easter Weekend

Ten years later... a new blog post!
I have been super busy at work, hence the no posting.
But, this past weekend was wonderful.... I did nothing. Stayed in and relaxed. And ate A LOT. I never expected Easter to be a holiday where you gain weight but oh well. I guess a bag of jellybeans, cookies, and and easter basket of skittles will do that to you!

This weekend I got the urge to cook/bake some goodies.

Friday - Thomas and I cooked out and due to my stubbornness we ended up getting a pound of meat for grilling burgers. Apparently this is too much, but it was Friday at like 7 when we went to the grocery store and I was tired. So here is the biggest burger in the world.... but they were good! With bacon and cheese of course!


Also, on Friday I wanted something sweat so I made red velvet brownies with cream cheese icing courtesy of How Sweet It Is

Here's how mine came out....


They were a little heavy, but all in all delicious!

Then for Sunday morning Easter Brunch I made Paula Deens' Baked French Toast Casserole.

A whole loaf of bread....

And here's the finished product...

Quite delicious!

With our Easter lilly from church and little Easter tree!

Holy Cow... SVH

Sweet Valley High = obsession. I read them all. I loved them all.




Word on the street is that they hate each other now??? How is that possible.

Even though it's gotten HORRIBLE reviews...this quote really says it all...
"For young women eager to get lost in the world they once loved, however, bad reviews don't matter."
