Hi everyone! I hope you all had a beautiful Easter weekend! It was nice and relaxing for us here with more than a couple of naps thrown in especially after yesterday’s sunrise church service. It was absolutely gorgeous and emotionally moving.
And yes that is still a whole lot of snow on the ground. Sigh.
Last week I loved on the Coconut & Avocado Grasshopper Bars that my friend made for me. So for Easter I tried making them myself and they turned out, whoot, whoot! Every once and awhile I get a baking success 🙂 Even my very picky 16 year old liked them. You don’t taste the avocado at all.
This week my kiddos are on Spring Break so I’m looking forward to that. I love having my kids home and just hanging out with them. So even though this year we aren’t going anywhere I’m sure we’ll still find some fun to be had. Maybe I’ll get them helping me with a few organizing projects, that’ll be fun! Ha for one of us anyway 🙂
My Weekly Menu Plan:
Monday: Leftover Easter dinner – ham, mashed potatoes and carrots
Tuesday: Cilantro-Lime Honey Garlic Salmon (baked in foil) served with spinach salad
Wednesday: Hot Oven Roasted Chicken Thighs served with rice and broccoli
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Pizza Party Friday Night! and for me Flatbread Pizza Crust
Saturday: One-Skillet Roasted Steak and Potatoes served with grilled veggies
Sunday: YOYO (you’re on your own!)
Have a wonderful week everyone!!

Oh my — not sure on the avocado bars. I thought they were mint at first look! 🙂
Laura Wittmann says
Yes they do have mint in them but it’s the avocado making them green 🙂

Glad you had a happy Easter! We are on spring break, too. Looking forward to less rush at supper time this week.
Laura Wittmann says
Yes keeping it simple over here. I’ve spent the first two days of spring break with a migraine, not fun 🙁
Tiffany Gee says
HAHA I thought they were mint as well at first glance! They look delicious!

I just pinned those avocado bars! May have to try them out. Always looking for new Easter brunch recipes. I wonder how well they would keep? My kids are on spring break this week as well. Hope you have a wonderful time organizing.

Hi Jean, I put some in the freezer and they taste excellent straight from there too 🙂
