I tried really had to take the focus off of candy, and I think I did pretty well. Of the 60+ eggs I filled only 8 had candy! We also had 6 with mini boxes if raisins! Our non-candy eggs were filled with stretchy worms, nail polish, animal erasers, mini stamps, and of course quarters! We also got the girls outside play toys. Emma received a pink scooter, Abs got a pair if kiddie skates and they all got balls, bubbles, and jump ropes. They were so excited to break everything in as soon as we got home from church!
Dinner this year began a new tradition. We recently had decided not to consume pork, so we did lamb! Perfect representation of Christ body right?!
Hubs makes the best roasted lamb leg!
To pair with it we had creamed spinach and our friend mayra brought over mashed potatoes!
I LOVE creamed spinach! I make it every holiday now. You might just say its "my dish".
Creamed spinach:
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and drained (doesn't have to be super dry just remove most of the water).
1 block cream cheese
1 cup Italian born cheese or 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/2 shredded provolone.
1/2-3/4 cup grated parm.
1/4 tsp Garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a large pan over medium heat, ass spinach and cook until heated thoroughly.
Mix in cream cheese, and seasonings. Cook until cream cheese is melted and mixed well.
Quickly stir in the Italian blend cheese and parm cheese.
Serve while hot!
Enjoy!
