How was everyone's Easter? Did you eat lots of food? Easter egg hunt? church?
Ours was wonderful! We started off going to church on Saturday night. It was a great service where we learned about the story found in Mark 5:22-42 where Jesus goes to the house of a little girl who has died. He raises the dead girl to life again. I learned that when Jesus sat on the bed next to the lifeless girl's body, all he said was "Talitha koum!" which in Aramaic means "Honey, wake up" like he was waking her up from a nap. That's how Jesus sees death, like a nap. We look at it as a permanent thing. He looks at it as a pause before eternity. Wow! What a great way to look at something that is a little scary.
Then, Easter Sunday, we all slept in (which is always wonderful). Then we all worked on our big Easter dinner. We baked a ham with brown sugar topping, pineapple stuffing, potato casserole, grilled asparagus, shrimp fried rice and Red Lobster's garlic bread. I promise I will share the recipes to some of these wonderful dishes later.
The girls and I made a sweet cookie recipe that I found on Pinterest that I wanted to share with y'all today. It was fun to make and they are so darn cute I had to share!
NO BAKE CHOCOLATE EGG NEST COOKIES
1 (12 oz) bag milk chocolate chips
1 (12 oz) bag butterscotch chips, more chocolate chips, or peanut butter chips
1 (12 oz) bag chow mein noodles
Cadbury chocolate eggs. You can also use jelly beans or M&Ms
Melt chocolate chips in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
Stir in chow mein noodles. I broke them up a bit.
Spray muffin pan lightly with Pam.
Drop by spoonfuls into muffin tin and mold into nest shapes.
Let set. I put mine in the refrigerator for a few hours. They popped right out of the pan. EASY PEASY!!
Place Cadbury eggs on top.
Aren't they adorable?? The family loved eating them, too.
Hope you're Easter was blessed with wonderful memories.
Love y'all,
