Easter Egg Hunt & Food From Around the World

by

Easter: Bianca de BlokNow that we have dyed and decoupaged our Easter eggs we’re preparing for the egg hunt. The kids look forward to it every year and my husband comes up with a list of hilarious clues for them to go by.

Last year he hid the eggs so well however that I only recently found one. Luckily it was not a hard boiled egg but a small chocolate one.

They get so much chocolate it’s ridiculous. Some goes in the freezer but it’s only good for so long like that. It starts turning this weird gray color after awhile and I wouldn’t even eat it, and I’m not that fussy. None of my kids are fussy either, which is a good thing because I make the same meal for everyone and I guess they caught on to that.

I don’t get much chocolate for them anymore but other people do. They enjoy getting toys like skipping ropes, balls and bubbles too.

Traditional Easter Food

It depends on where you’re from but around here it’s mainly ham and lamb or perhaps a turkey. We’re not crazy about ham or lamb and I forgot to get a turkey but FamilyFun has a yummy collection of Easter recipes.

Alternative Easter Food

I’m making the Streusel Coffee Cake since I have all the ingredients and it’s easier than hot cross buns. Their dinner recipes are heavy on the ham though so will have to keep thinking about the rest of the menu.
