In Our Easter Kitchen for #FoodRevolutionDay

Last Sunday we celebrated Easter...there are many aspects to our celebration. For my parents, it's primarily about resurrection; it's a religious celebration. But it's also about spending time with family. They always have a game picked out that we play between lunch and dessert. This year we played a dice game called Left Center Right. Link to the game below.* What fun!


For the boys, it's about Easter eggs and - maybe - candy and an egg hunt; it's a party. 


For my husband, it's about the feast...mostly the desserts. This year he requested a tiramisu. I still need to post that recipe!


And, for me, it's about celebrating all the crisp, fresh flavors of Spring. We had Butter-Braised Radishes over Little Gems, Roasted Asparagus and Shaved Fennel, Blueberry Kouign Amann, and more.

Cook with Your Loved Ones...on Easter!

My Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf helped me quite a bit this year. He came to the farmers' market with me and asked if he could make a kale salad with the Serendipity Farms' Red Russian kale. Of course!


Here he is. And here's his recipe: Massaged Red Russian Kale.


D also helped me with the Herbed Barley Salad.


He also helped me with the table centerpiece. We had Chamomile in our Easter Vase!


Did you cook with your loved ones on Easter? 
What did you make?

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen .

I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
