Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate!. I hope you will have a wonderful day with family and friends and enjoy some really delicious food, of course. It will be low key here with our daughter, son, and my husband’s mother. I had plans to make a new Lemon Meringue Dream Bar, but couldn’t find any lemon pie filling at any of the stores I went to. Don’t worry, I won’t stop searching and you can bet it will be on the blog soon.
I’m so glad it stopped raining here the past few days, I thought we were going to have to build an ark! Aaaannnnd, it’s going to rain again during the week. I’ll try not to float away.

New Recipes This Week

Slow Cookers can be a life saver any time of year, but especially when the weather turns warmer. So, when you’re having a craving for a lasagna, and also want a meal with a taste of Mexico, make this ​Slow Cooker Mexican Lasagna​.

Make this Slow Cooker Mexican Lasagna for dinner!

​Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots​ are quick and easy to make with mouthwatering flavor. Whole carrots are boiled until tender, then tossed with butter and brown sugar giving them beautifully caramelized edges.

Try these Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots this Easter!

Love lemon, then you’re going to fall head over heels with this ​Lemon Poke Cake with Marshmallow Frosting​. It’s super easy to make because it uses a cake mix (yes, I use a cake mix on occasion to save time, but if you want to make it completely from scratch, you can definitely do that!), lemon gelatin, and either lemon pie filling or ​homemade lemon curd​. Then you’re going to top it with some frosting that tastes like marshmallows. It’s wonderful and a perfect Springtime dessert.

Let’s make a Lemon Poke Cake with Marshmallow Frosting!

This ​Strawberry Sauce​ is EVERYTHING!! You only need 3 ingredients and about 15 minutes to make it. I put it on ice cream, pancakes, waffles, French toast, and it ALWAYS tops our ​Cheese Blintzes​.

Top your ice cream with some Strawberry Sauce!

Favorite Product of the Week:

I’ve used this Prepworks Multifunctional Dough Press Set to make my ​Pork Potstickers​, and it made the process so much easier. I highly suggest using them if trying to manually fold the dough intimidates you and prevents you from making them. They come in three different sizes, so they’ll be perfect for making these ​hand pies​, too!

Tip of the Week:

Dry active yeast. If you store it in the freezer, it will help retain its’ shelf life. This is great to do if you like to buy it in bulk, AND if you enjoy making my ​Grandma’s Italian Bread​!

I’d love to hear any tips you have, and what has helped you be more efficient and organized in the kitchen! If you would be interested in sharing them with all of us, and if I choose to share them in our newsletter, I’ll give you a first-name shoutout!
