Happy Easter and Passover! Such a festive time of year I love it! Our family celebrates Easter and the kids successfully found their baskets this morning. I was actually more organized than usual this year, so most of the food for this afternoon’s dinner was prepped yesterday, making for a nice, relaxed morning complete with candy, resurrection buns and Owen freaking out because he doesn’t get to eat this cake for breakfast. (In case you’re wondering, I used my White Chocolate Raspberry Cake recipe and the decoration inspiration came from my uber-talented friend Lindsey Johnson.)
By the way, I decided to go the super simple route for our Easter dinner this year: a small ham, roasted carrots and asparagus, funeral potatoes, and spinach salad with grapefruit and feta. The girls made our place cards and I think they did a fabulous job.
Today marks a first for This Week for Dinner…I am literally copying and pasting last week’s menu! I did in fact make dinner last week, but I didn’t make one thing that I had planned! Not exactly what I love to do, but at least it makes this week’s planning easy!

– Bistro Chicken
– Mashed potatoes and a green veggie
TUESDAY:
– Caprese salad

WEDNESDAY:

THURSDAY:

As usual, looking forward to seeing your lovely menus for the week!

We had Easter brunch for the first time this year as opposed to dinner, but we’re all still full from the spread, so I’m thinking “dinner” will just be noshies.
I haven’t really made a menu for the week, but the fridge and freezer are full, so I’ll probably have to make whatever is in there. Junior has a few therapy appointments this week, and Stinker is starting soccer, so simple is the name of the game!!
