It's been a busy week! Asher was on Spring break and we took a quick trip to Disneyland! I am continuing to recipe test for book number 4 coming out next fall, but for now I am showing you lots of recipes and inspiration for Easter from my book Celebrations! Also scroll down to see how to win a gift card to Whole Foods Market!

baby bump

I hope it doesn't heat up before June so I can just keep dressing this bump in all black. ????

For everyone that asked, my booties are Dolce Vita and they're a couple of years old, but they have a similar style on sale for 50% here! 

cookies

Nothing beats a fresh batch of Real Deal Chocolate Chip Cookies! Am I right? ??? Find this recipe here or in my first cookbook Against all Grain !

cute cupcakes

How adorable are these Easter cupcakes from reader Sabrina?! Instead of the Carrot Cake from that chapter, she pulled the nut-free Chocolate Cake recipe on pg152 & the dairy-free Vanilla buttercream recipe from pg 160 from the birthday chapter of Celebrations!

grandma

My grandma used to make us each a loaf of panettone every year, so I included a grain-free version in Celebrations! She gave it to us at Easter, but I'm sure most of you were accustomed to eating it at Christmas!

dreaming eggs

Dreaming of these creamy Smoked Salmon deviled eggs and Truffle Bacon eggs from the Baby/Bridal Shower chapter of Celebrations . Hoping I can talk Ryan into making them for me for Easter or Mothers Day or some special occasion because I'm too tired. ?
