Easter Eggs

Finally some cute easter decor ----for next year. Remind me.

Easter Bunnies

While mom was here I decided we needed to make some bunnies for the babies that will be born between now and next easter. Here is a purple one I just finished (mostly by myself)!

Mom made the blue one and I made the pink one with her help. I have a couple more cut out that I just need to sew.

Paper flowers

I remember making these as a kid - but these are almost sophisticated (like). Here is the tutorial.

Camera/Phone case

Wish I had seen this tutorial before today. I totally need one of these for our Flip.

More prints

Yes, I do realize that I am the only obsessive poster to this blog. I can't help it - just don't want to forget anything.
These are so cute.

My new Favorite Chicken

I made it with parmesan cheese and chicken tenderloins (so they were smaller). My boys ate several each. I also cooked mine (I mean the two I made for myself) without the butter and they were delicious. Try it.

Serves 4 Hands-On Time: 15m Total Time: 45m

Ingredients

• 16 buttery crackers (such as Ritz), crushed (about 3⁄4 cup)
• 6 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• wild rice pilaf and steamed green beans (optional)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350° F. In a bowl, combine the crackers, cheese, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
2. Dip the chicken in the butter, then in the cracker mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere, and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle any remaining cracker mixture on the chicken and drizzle with any remaining butter. Bake until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with the pilaf and green beans, if using.

The necklace

I can't stop thinking about this and I am not even a jewelery person.


Cami and Megan - I was thinking you should post your birthday wishlists here so the family has a few ideas about what to get you. Just a suggestion.
