A Simple Easter Dinner Menu

I wanted an easy menu this year for our Easter dinner. So I specifically chose easy-to-make items. As a bonus, I'll be able to prepare over half of this menu on Saturday. My hoped-for result is an easier Easter Sunday.

Here's what we're having:

Easter Dinner Menu

Roast beef and gravy
Glazed carrots, will prep on Saturday
Asparagus-tomato salad, will make on Saturday
Chive-garlic potatoes
Little Smokies
Fresh radishes and celery sticks, will prep on Saturday
Dinner rolls, will make dough on Saturday to bake on Sunday
Honey butter, will make on Saturday
Strawberry-white chocolate mousse, will make on Saturday 
Unsweetened chocolate covered dates, will make on Saturday 

I finished the dining room spring garden decor, using items from the free pile box of faux florals and greenery that I grabbed from the curb in 2018.

Here's the chandelier entwined in the floral garland:


I swagged the boxwood leaf garland and some florals around the doorway to the dining room.


What are you planning for meals on Easter?

My Living Room Easter Decor

Hi friends,
I don't know what happened to my post from this afternoon. It was here in the evening and then it disappeared by 9 PM. 
I'm sorry about that. Here's a slightly different video. I hope it stays put this time.


My living room Easter decor uses a couple of Peter Rabbit items, a pastel colored set of string lights from my daughters' childhood bedroom, a pair of cement bird figurines, a "nest" of blown-out eggs that I painted and speckled several years ago, a bisque porcelain egg that my daughter gave to me recently, the print-out of a vintage image that I framed, and my collection of circa 1900 Easter postcards. I hope you enjoy the video.

I'll have more to talk about tomorrow. See you then.
