I think Angel food cake with fresh strawberries sounds perfect for Easter

Starting with cinnamon rolls in the morning of course

Don't forget the whipped cream!

Thanks!

I wanted to experiment with a coconut cake, but the kids just accidentally tore the tops off a bunch of ripe bananas, so maybe banana cake instead?

Oh, that makes me think of an awesome cake...Hummingbird Cake! It's delicious with bananas and pineapple and a sour cream frosting Here's the recipe if you want to check it out:#8233

DW just made me a four ingredient recipe for Almond Joy Cookies. I'll have to get the recipe from her as they were awesome. Kind of ugly, but that's ok...

@N F C have no idea what we're doing for tomorrow... I've been banned from the kitchen and DS and DIL have the stick. I think I spied a ham in the fridge, but was chased off after peeking. My big deal for tomorrow is put hardware cloth over the windows on the greenhouse and put the turkey hens back in the convent (who would have thunk that they'd figure out that was a good way out?). Kick all the other chickens out and bring in the RIW breeders. Since I can't seem to keep chickens in their assigned cells, I'll put turkey girls in one, chickens in the other (don't care where they end up) and setup the hotel for the turkeys. In a couple weeks I'll start bringing in the Toms to do their jobs. And I need to figure out how to sell my eggs.... I'm getting buried in eggs right now.

I'd love the Almond Joy cookie recipe Bob, that's one of my favorite candy bars...mmm, chocolate and coconut and almonds. Bet they were great tasting cookies!

Unruly poultry, lol! You may have to hire some jailers Bob

They aren't pretty, but soooo good. I took them for lunch and gave some to the guys who never seem to have lunch... They were amazed. Although I think you'll find this cute.... One kid commented that I have boiled eggs every day... My response was yes, I grow them... He was perplexed... Others explained it and he finally came around and was: so you have chickens? Yes.. and they lay eggs... He is young but was really confused. Hard boiled eggs come from chickens...

Guess you did your educational bit for the day

He was really confused when I told him that I made the bread on my sandwich from wheat I ground from a friend who grew it... Mind you this kid get's everything out of a box.

Did you know that the recipe for the candy bars is to mix and shape the filling ingredients, place on parchment paper and freeze for a while (as long as you can stand waiting), then cover in the melted chocolate? Of course, refrigerate to harden the chocolate.
