Friday Favorites from Cafe Delites, Cafe Sucre Farine, Savor the Best, Camille Styles and More

Good morning. It’s Good Friday a day of prayer and vigils, as a child my grandmother and then my mother would make us sit quietly in a chair from 12-3:00 to think about the significance of the day. To be honest, I cannot remember if we actually made it the entire 3 hours or if we were even contemplating the Crucifixion. All I know is that we were probably contemplating Easter Sunday dinner and our baskets. This Easter is April 1st, April fools day which also happens to be my grandmother’s birthday. I miss her all the time but most often at the holidays. Happy Birthday grandma, and a happy Easter to you too.

This week everywhere I looked there was a recipe, a table scape, or an arrangement for Easter. There were so many great things it was hard to narrow it down to my favorites. 

Image Dreams Come True

But this all white Easter table scape caught my eye because it is unique and I think something that everyone could make. You could get a beautiful branch from your yard and be particularly careful blowing out the eggs you use to bake your cakes, add a few little white bunnies, plates and candle holders and voila, you could have your own version of this gorgeous table scape from Dreams Come True. I do think some of the eggs are goose eggs and I do not know where you get those unless you have a few in your garden.

This non-traditional colorful table from Coco Kelly is another favorite. 

Succulent Lamb from Savor the Best

They say if you like lamb the best time to eat it is in the Spring so Easter is the perfect time to make it. This Succulent Braised Lamb Shank from Savor the Best looks delicious. 

Chocolate Chip Hot Cross Buns from Cafe Delites

Hot Cross Buns are a staple for Easter. I personally love them with chocolate chips instead of raisins so I will be making this recipe from Cafe Delites. 

Image from Cafe Sucre Farine

Do you still need a dessert for Easter? Try this Lemon Buttermilk Bundt Cake from Cafe Sucre Farine.

Swedish Pastry

Another easy and delicious recipe is this Swedish Pastry. This pastry is served at every family gathering we have and it is scrumptious. 

If you are looking for a carrot cake check out this recipe from Food Gal.

Image My Domaine

A cocktail on a warm day is a nice way to start the weekend. This Hibiscus Gin Sour might be one to try, if gin is not your drink than there are other Spring Cocktails featured on My Domaine. 

Instagram is a magical place if you do not get caught up in the comparison game. I personally love to discover new interesting artists, bakers, etc. In the case of  Natasja Sadi’s Cake Atelier Amsterdam is is a combination of all three. Natasja is an artist with sugar paste flowers. You can see her work on Instagram or on Cake Atelier Amsterdam’s web page. Can you even believe this arrangement? I am in awe each time she posts an image. 



Do you wear perfume? Do you change your fragrance every season or do you have a signature scent? If you would like to Find Your Signature Scent check out this article.  This inexpensive perfume from Lollia is one of my favorites for Spring. 

Yellena James

I love this art from Yellana James. 

Thats is for this week, as always please share your finds. I always enjoy reading about what you are making, eating, watching, seeing and doing. 

I hope that you have a blessed weekend and Easter. 

P.S: Just in case you need to get to the shop on Easter here are 16 Stores that are open and 11 that are closed

    Goose eggs are real treats. We sometimes get some from a farm nearby. It's true you don't find them in the grocery store.

    Happy Easter!

    Of course Good Friday services are typical in any Christian denomination, but my background, Reformed and Presbyterian, the services were a given amount of time, generally not longer than a usual service. Two or three years ago here, I came into an Anglican church during the Good Friday afternoon, and they were having the three hour long meditation service. I found it interesting.

We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning?

I hope that you are surrounded by love on this beautiful day, even if it is only by  the love of God which is the best love there is. Life is what we make it and we can be sad that another Easter finds us at home or we can enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful day, an Easter egg hunt for the dogs, a delicious Bear claw pastry that I made yesterday using a recipe from @sweet_things_by_lizzie_ on the @redstaryeast blog, time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Oh and to eat lots of candy left by the Easter bunny, is 3 @reeses peanut butter eggs before breakfast too many, asking for a friend?

My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few kids to hunt for them. I dyed my eggs this year with red cabbage and I love the colors. Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself? I hope you are enjoying your weekend. #easter #easterdecor #eastereggs #dyedeastereggs #naturallydyedeastereggs #blue #blueandwhiteforever #eggs #easterfun #eastermood #weekend #weekendvibes #food #provincial #countryliving #betterhomesandgardens
Good morning peeps! What are you baking or making Good morning peeps! What are you baking or making this morning? I’ve just finished dying my Easter eggs, I used the red cabbage method and they turned out beautiful! I’m not sure how many days we are going to want to eat hard boiled eggs, although I recall a few baking recipes that use hard boiled eggs. Do you have great hard boiled egg recipes? If so please share. Have a great day! Happy Easter. P.S. this is my tables-cape from last year I’ve yet to do anything this year. #tabledecor #tablesetting #tablescapes #table #easter #easterdecor #easterbunny #eastereggs #easter2021 #eastertreats #eastercandy #candy #chocolate #chocolatecandy #easterbunny #ilovechocolate #marshmallowegg #candyforeveryone #food #pineconesandacorns #goodvibes #goodmorning #peeps #foodpic #foodporn #foodphotography #blogger #bloggerstyle #bloggersofinstagram
