Just wanting some ideas for Easter
You didn’t mention whether you wanted desserts, side dishes, or appetizers, so here’s some to think about:
1. Mashed potato casserole: 10 yukon gold potatoes cooked until fork tender in chicken broth, drained. 1/2 cube butter, 1 4 oz package cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese,1 bunch scallions, chopped, more butter and cheese to top with. Add next 5 ingrediants along with a generous portion of kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Add more sour cream if necessary. Top with cheddar cheese and dot with butter. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 – 40 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Asparagas with pancetta bread crumbs: trim fibrous ends off of asparagas and cook until tender crisp, about 1 minute. Set aside. In skillet, saute pancetta with 3 T minced onion and 1 tsp minced garlic. Add 1 cup bread crumbs and stir to coat. Add 1 tsp lemon zest and 3 T parmesan cheese. Place asparagas in baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Drizzle olive oil or melted butter over each and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
3. Strawberry Angel Trifle: 1 store bought angel food cake, 1 large package vanilla instant pudding, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 cup milk, 2 pints strawberries, cleaned, stemmed, and sliced. Sweeten and mash slightly with spoon. Coolwhip. Tear angel food cake into pieces and top with some of the berry mixture. Blend sour cream with milk and pudding and fold in 1 cup of the CoolWhip. Put 1/2 on top of the strawberries. Repeat layers ending with strawberries and Coolwhip.
this is something i remember doing at school as an easter activity ,using regular chook eggs
what is the best way to prepare the eggs?should i hard boil the eggs?should i try and empty the eggs?what is the best method for cleaning the shell before decorating it?
Hard-boil your eggs with about a tablespoon of vinegar in the water (that way, if the eggs crack, they won’t leak so much). Remove the boiled eggs from the pot.
A really good egg dye to use is PAAS, and I’ve always found it at the grocery store. Cheap. It also comes with little wire egg holders for dipping your eggs. If you don’t get the kit, you can use regular food coloring.
Get several bowls or party cups, one for each color. Hot water mixed with some vinegar will help set the dye on the eggshells, and leaving the eggs in the dye longer will result in darker colors. The acid in the vinegar helps the dye set on the shells. If you’re using the PAAS kit, you’ll have directions for how much water to mix with the dye. If you’re mixing your own colors with food dye, you should have enough to cover one egg in each bowl, and use a LOT of the coloring to saturate the water with the dye.
You can get color effects by dipping eggs into one color, then another. For more fun, you can color on the eggs with crayons. The dye won’t stick to the wax, so you can get some nifty effects that way, too.
My Easter lily died last year, but then the bulbs was still there. Now its regrowing. I see a few leaves sprouting. What should I do? And how do you force a lily to bloom during Easter? Because I want the lilies to bloom during easter.
I think that it is too late to be able to force this set of bulbs, You may want to try next year. It takes 17 weeks prior to easter to bloom. I have included a link to a easter lily forcing schedule for you to look at. You may just want to buy one this year.
I am putting together a birthday basket for a 1 year old. It’s really a lined storage basket, I bought 2 gifts which are wrapped a bunny (for easter) books and a personalized sippy cup. The problem is that the storage basket is too deep and I need to put something underneath that will lift everything to see. What could I use that’s big and bulky??? Yet leveled to place gifts on top’?
if you have a few tiny empty boxes tape that to the bottom of the basket. tape the gifts on top. or if you want it cute. cut a hole big enough for the corner of the present to fit in side. put the corner in there ( maybe tape )fill the rest with tissue paper. The kind you use to stuff the presents in a goody bag or present bag. not the kind to wipe your nose (:
or you could just stuff the bottom with tissue paper or butcher paper and the presents usually stay put.
foam always works too. with tissue paper around to look cute.
by the way, i love the gift idea. it’s cute. you spoil that baby (in a good way) 😀 i wish i was that baby!
i hope i helped

I have to do something very special for kids for easter…
Special event or anything
games maybe or crafts or special ideas
Or if u can give me a website
Plz if u have
I couldn’t find something on th net
Thx
pin the tail on the bunny ,ake your own eggs egg hunt A egg fight for my family its traditional. all you do is have someone or your self color and boil eggs depending on how many kids there are going to be when/ if you find out double that number. Adults will like it too! But the rule is if your eggs gets smashed then you have to eat it..I will edit the directions after..
Thats all I can thik of right now.
direction’s
1. double the amount of people and with that number thats how many eggs should be boiled.
2. color them with cool colors. make each one unique! Have a few children of some of your girlfriends help you on coloring them. That will give you a chance to talk too!
3. the smashing part will be 2 people at a time. The two people pick witch one will be the “hitter” and which one will be the “holder” then when that is done then the “holder” holds his/her egg so that the point of the eggs is facing up. then the “hitter hits the “holders” eggs not too hard but not too soft. then if the” hitters” eggs cracks then they are OUT! Same with the “holder” then whosever egg doesn’t crack after hitting everybodys egg than that person wins!!
Directions for the egg hunt.
well pretty easy you just hide 5 eggs per kid. (if there are only 4-5 then do 10 if you wish..)
Stuff to fill the plasic eggs with….
a dollar
hersheys kisses
5 cents
10 cents
small candys..
Hope this helps!!!
