Easter Recap!

As promised, here is a recap of my Easter Sunday! I woke up after a late night out and was ready to start the Easter festivities! I had decided about a week or so ago that I wanted to cook a complete Easter meal for my family and I was a determined woman! The menu for the night looked like this:

Slow Cooker Apple Cider Braised Pork
Rosemary Potatoes
Oven-Roasted Asparagus
Bunny Cake
*I also baked up some frozen whole wheat rolls on the side






The meal got rave reviews from my whole family, especially the pork. You guys, this pork is painfully good. It was basically pulled pork that was lightly sweet from the apple cider. YUM!

In between cooking and watching HBO movies, I found time to dye some Easter eggs with RJ and my mom. I haven't dyes Easter eggs for years and it was so fun! I even got to use that awesome white crayon that shows up after you dye the egg (does anyone remember that thing??). Anyways, learned that RJ had never dyed an Easter egg before. Yes, you read right. NEVER EVER. He said that they didn't dye eggs in the Philippines where he grew up. He seemed to enjoy it, however and even made an "RJ" egg with his name on it.

The day was full of lounging and cooking, just the way I like it!


Dying his first egg! 
Have you ever made an entire meal on your own? How did it turn out?
