Foodie Friday--Easter Edition

 

Are you excited?

I am.

Because it's Foodie Friday, and I get to

visit with you.

I'm also excited because this week's party will be packed with ideas for the upcoming holiday. For even more recipes, check out the previous 

Foodie Friday. 

I've been busy writing, working on the house, and cooking.

 I made Hot Cross Buns in the bread machine.

 

We love Baked Tacos all the time,

but they are perfect for a post-holiday meal, when you crave 

non-traditional fare.

I also "made" a 5-Minute Coconut Pound Cake 

(the easy way, of course).

Dr. Will brought home some beautiful flowers 

and Easter candy. 

The chocolate bunnies inspired me to make a little vignette beside the front door, an "Easter Welcoming Committee." 

I poked around in cabinets and closets and found bunnies, glass compotes,

and various doo-dads. Everything went on a small table.

Coconut Pound Cake in 5 Minutes

 

Here's a quick Easter dessert for exhausted girls.

5 Minute Coconut Pound Cake.

 I saw a television commercial about Cool Whip icing, and I thought I'd hallucinated. But then I saw it in Publix's freezer section: buttercream and cream cheese, high up on the shelf. 

Just about sold out, too. Bandwidth had to reach up to grab the last two buttercream cartons.

They passed his taste test, 

which is saying a lot. Will gave it a big

thumb's up, too, but he loves coconut cake.

The Tired Person's 

5-Minute Coconut Pound Cake

Cut a store-bought pound cake in half, ice it with Cool Whip's butter cream icing, then sprinkle with Mound's coconut flakes. My mother used dental floss to cut her cakes into layers, but I hacked it with a bread knife because, well, I'm me.

See you tomorrow night at Foodie Friday.
