#1 Had a Birthday

My kids get to pick a few things during their birthday week for me to prepare.

#1 just turned 11 and he picked lemon cake pops and banana bread!

Blueberry Easter Cake

I'm not sure why I'm calling this an Easter cake but we had it Easter morning and it was extremely heavenly.  

There are two ways I use blueberries in dessert type foods.  One is here and the other will now be this one.

Resurrection Rolls

A few years ago we started making our traditional Resurrection Rolls.

It's so easy and gives the kids a great visual of how Christ arose from the grave on Easter morning.

Crescent rolls

butter

sugar/cinnamon

jumbo marshmallows

Peep Pops

Pinterest idea...seriously, how did I function before it?

So easy!

Especially with my sweet little helper!

Carrot Strawberries

This was the second year of making these cute things.

The kids just love them and seriously, they are so darn easy!

Carrot Poke Cake

This heavenly thing I found on Pinterest and made it for Easter.

It's an Easter Poke Cake.

You start out with a carrot cake mix, prepared.

Add sweetened condensed milk, a mixture of pudding, cool whip and some new cool whip frosting.

Here's the recipe.

In the end, while we thought it was good, it was also quite sweet.

Plus, we had a chocolate pie and homemade from scratch traditional carrot cake to contend with.

But really still yummy!
