Fiesta Night!

Okay, so we didn't realize have a "fiesta" per say. I only thought of that as an oh-so-clever title to a posting on our dinner. But we did have enchiladas, salsa, and rice (er, rice-a-roni; forgive me). I will try to post the recipes tomorrow, but here are some pictures for now.

New Layout

When my friend said, "I can't remember your blog. What is it? I do remember that it was red and yellow at one point (I hope you changed that)" I realized I needed a change. I was too scared to make changes because I thought I would mess it up. But I decided to be brave. Honestly, it was 100x's easier than I thought. So, let me know if this one is even uglier than the orange. I promise I won't be offended.

Easter

I've been contemplating Easter and Christ and His Resurrection more frequently over the past few weeks. Even though I've felt strongly to post something, I haven't been able to put words to what I feel. So I'm not going to try. Instead I'm going to post the words of others. Elder Holland has a way of touching me deep to my core. It was during one of his talks that I felt a strong impression that led to my marriage. His talk this conference was especially touching to me as he spoke of our Savior.


None Were with Him


Another way I enjoy expressing testimony is through song. So here are some of my favorite songs about the Savior:

Easter Hosanna

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

He Is Risen

Easter Eggs

I haven't dyed Easter eggs in years, so I decided we should this year. Probably I was influenced by the giant display at the grocery store. Hey, marketing works.

My eggs were mostly boring, but The Husband got a little creative. Note the angry little green egg and the awesome blue football. The one that looks black-brownish was his too . . . his mutt egg dyed with ALL of the colors. The point is that we did have fun. And rewarded our efforts with cherry chocolate cupcakes.

More Food

I think I should add more food to my blog. That might inspire me to cook more/better so I have more material. Anyway, this weekend I did make some cupcakes. I've been anxious to try out the cupcake courier my brother gave me. I'd say, success.




I used this recipe, but I made my own cream cheese frosting (canned frosting is blasphemy to me).
