 Seven little nests of hay Apparently it's Easter this weekend and yet somehow I feel I might have just missed the bus in 2014. I'm not sure I've quite caught my breath after having been away for a few days in Orange, New South Wales, for the F.O.O.D. Week events. After a four hour drive home, we called into the store just five minutes from home so that I could get some milk and a few bits and pieces. I also bought a couple of beautifully-decorated dark chocolate eggs and that's about where I'm at with Easter preparations. So, rather than rushing to bake something and photograph it so that I could share it with you, I thought I'd gather a few of my favourite blog posts from recent weeks. Some are topical and delicious, in that they are about making chocolates or Easter baking, others just caught my attention as good things. I've included a couple of my own archived recipes too. I hope you will find them inspiring:
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a peaceful, happy and safe Easter weekend. Thank you for your continued friendship and support of this little journal. I really do appreciate you stopping by. Lizzy xox Tell me, what are your favourite things to bake or do over the Easter weekend?

Thanks for the link love Liz. Easter was on top of me before I knew it this year - school holidays will do that to you. Loving the other links too.

Loved the dove bread and reading through Maureen's Easter memories - and of course, Lorraine always comes up with the best easy ideas. I'm honored to be included and I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend (even if it has snuck up on you)!

Happy Easter Liz! I love Easter, it's always my first pit stop for the year. I can sleep till I wake, no alarm clocks for a week, the hot cross buns from bundah bakery, oh and the family time.

Easter usually sneaks up on me, I guess primarily because it's a moveable feast. Great list of good stuff! I'll be checking out all the goodies .;-)

If you do keep Easter: my very best! If it is a holiday: have a good one :) ! Love your painted egg and 'thank you' for all the links! Am actually copying Lorraine's cute 'devilled eggs' for 3-4 elderly neighbours to get a laugh on Sunday! hugs and good wishes . . .

Lily, my pleasure! I do hope you enjoyed a peaceful and delicious Easter. Thanks for popping in : ) Have a lovely Easter Lizzy. I have missed the boat this year entirely. Tomorrow our daughter and family is coming over bringing Greek takeout. Then that's that for Easter. Just resting and watching videos in the evenings. Easter is a 4 day weekend for civil servants in Canada. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Aren't we lucky?

I'm exactly like you. I just was so consumed by Archie's party that once the dust settled, it was almost Good Friday. I've done nothing! I will get up tomorrow and make Hot Cross Buns and I will go to the shops and buy some eggs and I do hope there'll be something decent left still to buy. I do have the food sorted though - we won't starve! xx

Oh I have been such a slack Easter Bunny this year. Never mind, the kids now have a chocolate tummy ache so all is right with the world.
