Happy Easter!

In honor of Easter being yesterday, I thought I’d blog about how I celebrated Easter with my family. The day started with my mom stressing out about the house being clean and the food being done. My family of four, plus my sister and I’s boyfriends, had a nice lunch consisting of marinated porkchops, cheesy potatoes and oriental salad. I was in charge of the dessert and I made berry angel food cake. Check out the recipe in my pervious blog named, “My Favorite Recipes.” It turned out great, but the guys were a little apprehensive about the lime zest garnish. The perks of having an Easter lunch with only six people is that there are copious amounts of leftovers.

It turned out to be a beautiful Easter Sunday, until Ohio had to do its Ohio thing and rain. We enjoyed the sun (and wind) as much as we could. At around 4pm, Tyler (my boyfriend) and I, went to his house for a small family gathering. His house is much noisier since he has five nieces and nephews.

Even though the day looked and felt a little different then what we’re used to, it was a day full of love, laughter and great food. Amidst the craziness happening in the world, it’s nice to slow down and be grateful for those around you. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
