Well friends I am sitting here with a pinched nerve in my back on Easter. I can only sit for short amounts of times, so my family is off to church without me. I thought I would take this rare time alone and post. So far we are having a lovely Easter. I embroidered tea towels for each of the girls for their Easter basket. We are having ham with and orange marmalade glaze. My mother is making salad with strawberries, toasted almonds and goats cheese. the girls made stuffed eggs and and Aubrene` was kind enough to make this simple 60 second chocolate mouse.
60 Second Lemon White Chocolate Mousse 1 cup white chocolate chips 1 pinch of salt 1 grated lemon peel from a large lemon juice from 1/2 a large lemon whipped cream Place chocolate; egg, lemon peel and juice in blender. Heat cream until small bubbles appear at edge. Do not boil. Quickly pour in hot cream and blend until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into dessert dishes and cover with plastic and chill. Serve with whipped cream dollops. I pray this is a blessed day of each of you as we celebrate the sacrifice Christ made of each us. Rejoice!!
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg
They're beautiful! I want my mom to make me an Easter basket like yours! (yes, I'm way too old for that :) Even an Easter basket at your house is a work of art. *sigh*
hugs, Kristin

My son has been sick since Friday so we were home today, too. He especially was bummed about missing the Easter festivities at church, but he taught me how to play his favorite video game so hopefully we made up for what he missed with a good memory. I hope your Easter is happy and that your pinched nerve gets relief soon! See you at the coffee shoppe! :-)

What beautiful Easter baskets! The towels turned out lovely and I like the Peter Rabbit candies. I often put flowers in my Easter baskets too! I'm sorry to hear about your back, I hope you will feel better soon. Happy Easter!
