These lamb chops are so flavorful thanks to marinating while they cook with a sous vide immersion cooker. We had them with a steamed artichoke and a small baked potato.

DIY Faberge eggs are so easy to make and you can keep them for years to come. The picture above is my collection for three years.
I think the best part about Easter is kids, and how much fun they can have. As some of you may know, I have been involved with a wonderful organization called Ascencia. I wanted to make them special centerpieces for their Easter breakfast, and I cooked breakfast as well.
We had a lot of fun making these little “nests”, as I got the children, including my dear Spane, to decorate plastic eggs in whatever fashion they desired. I had plenty of glitter glue, paint, sticky gems, and all we really needed to make Fabergé jealous.
I don’t know why I wait for Easter to make a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I think it just seems appropriate for the rabbits of Easter to have a carrot cake treat. This is a really rich cake, not something for every day.
These marble eggs are so easy to make and they always turn out different. You will never have the same egg twice, so be sure and take pictures of these to look back on.
Silk tie dyed eggs were the star of my Easter table a few years ago, and I thought I should share again how to make them. I still have some leftover ties, so that I will make new ones again. They are very easy to make and look stunning. It’s a great way to use up old silk ties, blouses, shirts, etc.
Moist chicken in a Graniteware roaster to keep moisture in and have nice crispy skin. Easy enough for a weeknight dinner, elegant enough for guests.
I graduated from Immaculate Heart High School in Hollywood, California. So did Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex. You know, when one of the girls gets married to Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and the wedding is shown on live television, you have to get up at 4 o’clock in the morning to watch. That was the first time I made scones because I wanted something to celebrate and have with my winter forest tea. I have always been biscuit challenged, they come out flat as a pancake. It seems, however, that scones, which are in the biscuit family are not beyond me, and actually come out pretty good.
