If you’re looking for an easy side dish for Easter, this Pea Salad is delicious and very simple to assemble. I’ll be making this to go with our ham. I’m looking forward to our small family dinner this weekend, we need the normalcy of tradition more than ever right now. 🏡🐣🐰

Now more than ever I want to document time. There are so many day-to-day things, simple acts that don’t get documented but make up so much of our time. I love those moments. They’re the things I want to remember the most, and I want to actually see them when I look back. Simple moments like this picture that my husband took of me while I made English Muffins, and I didn’t know he was doing so. I love it so much. Nothing is staged. My counters are a mess but I’m thankful for that because they’re full of food. I’m lost in what I’m doing. It’s a real moment. I’m going to try to capture more of these moments from now on. Pictures of the kids doing homework at the kitchen table. Messy craft tables, board game competitions. Just a quite silent image of real life right now. Because what a wild time it is. 🏡💕

A few days ago I ran a poll in my Instastories asking if people were going to be cooking for Easter and I was surprised to see that only 50% were planning to this year. And I get it. This is a weird and uncertain time. I am going to be making Easter dinner this year because I need the normalcy and tradition more than ever. It will be smaller and different but that’s ok. So maybe since you might be cooking too, I thought I’d share some recipe ideas with you, with a few tips for how to make the recipes smaller or how to use substitutions in case you’re out of ingredients. I hope you find something here that you might like to make! 🐥🐣🐰 .

First up are these Simple Scalloped Potatoes. 🥔 You can easily cut this recipe in half. Or make the full batch and have the rest for dinner the next night. The ingredients are simple too...and easily substitutable...use whatever cheese you have. Use milk instead of cream if you want. Grab the recipe over on my blog...the link is in my bio. 🏡💕

I thought I’d pop in and show my face today...actually I just wanted to show off my new #DrHinshaw shirt! 😂 Dr. Hinshaw has been a reassuring, informative ray of hope and knowledge here in Alberta during this pandemic. I bought this shirt to show support, and because all proceeds went to our local food bank. The amazing @avrosendaal and @dinnerwithjulie made this initiative happen! I love people. I love the helpers. There are always helpers, you just have to look for them or be one.
I hope you are all well today. ❤️🏡❤️

Anyone else have a bread machine they love?! Mine has been working in overdrive these last few weeks. I like to let the machine make the dough, then I shape it and let it rise. So so simple. I’m sharing the recipe for these 60% Whole Wheat Buns over on my blog today. I hope you try them. ❤️🍞🏡 #linkinbio .
