For us, Easter was a day full of cooking great food and being with our family.
I had my mom's recipe for Greek Lemon Soup which is basically lemon, white rice, egg and broth and I always loved it! I made it for us and it turned out fantastic (even the kids liked it). Had to be careful not to curdle the egg when adding it to the hot broth mixture but other than that it's very very easy to make. Hot lemony ricey mouthfuls of goodness. Plus some crusty french bread and a blush wine on the side. Mmmm Mmmm!!!
For our main course, we sliced up some ham, smashed some potatoes and served up some green beans (with concentrated mushroom soup mixed in to make it creamy and more appealing to the kids). Us grown-ups had mimosas as well.
All in all, it was a relaxing day with great food and even better company. The weather was perfect and allowed us to eat al fresco on our deck. With the wind gently blowing and petals from our dogwood tree falling around us it was marvelous. One of those days that you give thanks for.
