It’s been a lovely week at home after a ladies’ retreat last weekend at Southland Camp in Louisiana. It was a wonderful time with precious friends, old and new!
Happy Good Friday!

My Easter Dinner Menu
I’m so excited for my favorite week of the year to be here – EASTER! The hope and promise of eternal life through Christ’s death and resurrection gives my life purpose and joy! That’s reason to celebrate!
Our greatest celebration will be that we will get to attend our church’s Easter service! We’ve been away since February, allowing the transition to go more smoothly. We are excited to worship with our church family and rejoice in the resurrections of our Savior!
After church, we will come home with our family (and I pray a few other guests) for dinner. I’ve already starting prepping for the meal! I like to get as much done ahead of time as possible! I thought I’d share what I’m fixing so you might get some inspiration for your meal!

German Pancakes
If you love pancakes, but hate standing there taking the time to pour and flip them one at a time, then the recipe I’m sharing today for German Pancakes is going to make your heart happy! These are made in muffin tins and baked in the oven. They puff up and turn into the perfect little “bowl” for a Blueberry sauce to get spooned into! It couldn’t be easier or more delicious!
Mini German Pancakes
1 cup milk
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. orange zest (optional)
1/4 cup butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blend first six ingredients (milk through orange zest) in a blender. Be careful to see that any flour clumps get well-blended.
- Blend in butter a little at a time in order to temper the eggs.
- Grease muffin tins well and distribute batter evenly between 24 tins (I did more like 18. I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup and filled it almost full.) Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top.
- Served with your favorite topping.
I made a blueberry sauce that was so simple – 1/3 C sugar and 1 Tbl cornstarch in a sauce pan. Add 1 cup water and mix with whisk. Add 1 Cup blueberries and cook until thickened.
These would make a great breakfast for Easter morning! Add some bacon or Canadian bacon and a cup of coffee and juice, and you’d have a delicious menu to prepare you and your family to worship at Easter services!
Refresh your breakfast with this easy/delicious pancake!
Easter Recap
What a wonderful Easter weekend we enjoyed! To celebrate our risen Savior is always the BEST part, but there were other added joys and gifts from the Lord!
My mom joined us! My husband and I picked her up and brought her to our home on Thursday, so we had a nice, long weekend together.
We enjoyed lunch at the best local fast food place, we did a little shopping, we visited the her great grandsons, and we ate meals upstairs in our quiet family room where we lingered and chatted. We taught her to play Rummikub and she caught on quickly and competitively! 😊

Good Friday is Only for the Guilty
It was just a little thing – a little lie, but I was pretty sure the child was guilty. A Child I was with made a quick dash to the bathroom and back while everyone was playing.
Did you wash your hands,: I asked.
Yes!
Really? That was super fast.
Well, maybe not.Guilty
