Easter was so early this year that I felt a little behind. Partly because my to~do list was a bit longer than I had time for, as usual. However, I like to prioritize which helps so at least that way the most important things get finished in case I do run out of time.
I always have a big list of desserts I want to try but never seem to have time to make them all and this year was no different. Due to the short timeline, I decided to choose the desserts that were quickest and easiest to make.
One thing I really wanted to make were mints so used my favorite recipe, mixed them up early and put them in the refrigerator until we were ready to mold them. Later Miss E chipped in and finished the mints by rolling them into balls and then flattening them with a fork which formed them into perfect disks. Ordinarily I press the mints into molds but this method worked great and looked very cute.
Of course we had to have Lemon Meringue Pies, which I offered to make, and mom made Angel Food Cake, which is also a must for our Easter dinner.
These festive Macaroon Nests were as fun to make as they were to eat.
We had a wonderful family Easter and now look forward to April birthdays!
Happy Tuesday!
What's Easter without lemon pie??? They were every bit as delicious as they look.....and the flower arrangements were beautiful.
