I'm making braised lamb shanks with couscous and roasted asparagus for Easter dinner for my husband and I.

Some friends are coming for brunch tomorrow: mushroom quiche, broccoli quiche, potato salad, spinach salad, and pumpkin streusel muffins.

I harvested more citrus from the garden so this weekend it's curd: Meyer lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit (I can't resist calling it pamplemousse). I use it in desserts and serve it at brunch and for tea all the time - no sense buying expensive little jars when I can spend a day making every flavor I can imagine.

Then my favorite homemade pasta with garden veggies (asparagus, peas), pistachios, herbs and lemon juice & zest. The weather was so nice today that I started gardening at first light so, if the weather holds, it might be a lemonade & good book & hammock weekend.

Equal opportunity holiday celebrators here: matzo brei for breakfast tomorrow, then lavender walnut scones and eggs benedict on Easter!

PS ~ Rucy, your weekend sounds wonderful!

Our Easter is pretty typical...glazed ham, biscuits, salad, etc. I'm responsible for an asparagus boursin cheese tart and a fruit tart for dessert. There will be Cadbury Creme Eggs and a chocolate bunny, I'm sure of it.

I've got to head over to the farmers market. I hope I'm not too late for ramps. I'll be splurging on edible flowers if they have any to dress up the Easter salad. We're having an asparagus-goat cheese frittata and I'm going to try making that buttermilk quick bread that was featured here. We don't do much for Easter, and I like brunch-y celebrations the best.

Got to make the first risi e bisi of Spring, too!

Caramelized onion and gruyere quiche (inspired by all the recent quiche posts here!), spinach salad with bacon and hard-boiled eggs, lemon bars, and the deviled eggs with basil aioli from Orangette.

I have decided not to cook Easter dinner this year. Normally I would get a ham from the Honey Baked Ham store for Easter, and add my own side dishes. Have to have collards and cornbread, my daughter likes my brocolli cornbread, so yum. I will take my daughter and myself out to dinner this year. Not sure where, anyone have any suggesstions for a great restaurant in Florida to have Easter dinner?

Was nominated this morning (yikes!) to host an Easter lunch. Randomly decided the best way to get lots of eggs involved would be to do brunch for lunch, so cooking: sausage, kale and feta frittata; pimiento corn muffins; ham; creamed spinach. Luckily got a strudel in the freezer so that will save work on dessert! Happy easter all :)

Beef and veggie kebabs with hot biscuits and Caesar salad Friday, soy and orange glazed ribs and an asparagus and goat cheese tart Saturday. Pancakes and sausage Sunday morning. Celebrating Easter next weekend when my sister can be here. Baked ham, biscuits, greens, mac and cheese, a strawberry cake and plenty of champagne!

Unfortunately I'm sick with a cold this weekend, so I had to make my favorite soup, ochazuke. It's a delicious Japanese soup with salmon and rice and I crave it when I'm sick.

We had fresh spring rolls with grilled beef marinated with lemongrass and shallots, quick-pickled carrots and bean sprouts, and lots of basil, mint and cilantro tonight; they were delicious and definitely spring-like! Tomorrow I'm going to make a salad using the left-over herbs, some poached chicken, and a dressing with lots of lime and fish sauce, and maybe some sticky rice on the side.

I'm also planning to make coconut French toast for brunch, because that's simply brilliant.

Bone in Pork loin roast- I think I'll do garlic and fig stuffing there with a brown sugar glaze, some roasted potatoes and a little garlic chard to round out the meal...
