I fired up the kettle…
carefully retrieved one of my cherished antique tea cups…
enjoyed a spot of Red Rose Tea….
and nibbled on a scrumptious raspberry scone
These were my special treats as I watched the Royal Wedding. I loved every minute of it.
As I was sitting on the couch next to my daughter, Livie, it occurred to me that I was her age when Prince Charles and Lady Diana were married.
Wow.
As many of you already know, I have a love affair with cookbooks. I love reading them, collecting them, and of course, cooking from them. Lately, these three cookbooks have been my go-to sources for wonderfully delicious, simple and healthy meals. Both of Ellie’s cookbooks are fabulous. Seriously, check them out from the library and test-drive a few recipes. I guarantee you will want to add both of these books to your cookbook collection. The America’s Test Kitchen Healthy Family cookbook is another must-have addition to any fabulous kitchen. With colorful photos, step by step directions and a plethora of healthy and flavorful meals to choose from, this cookbook has it all. I love all the America’s Test Kitchen Cookbooks and this one is just as fabulous as its predecessors.
How gorgeous are these roasted vegetables?! These would steal the show at a dinner party.
Such a colorful and delicious looking salad.
Shrimp and Feta and tomatoes… Yes Please!
Easy to follow step by step directions.
The Test Kitchen also recommends kitchen tools and gadgets. If there is anything I love as much as cookbooks, it’s kitchen gadgets. I could spend an afternoon at the Cook’s Warehouse and be in absolute heaven.

On another note, my parents just left on Sunday to head back to Nova Scotia. Even though they were here for over three weeks, the time flew by and I want them to come back!!! Luckily, we will be spending several weeks visiting them this summer, I cannot wait!
The girls cherish their time with Nanny and Poppy when they come to visit. We are so blessed to have them stay with us for 8 weeks each year. Four in the Spring and four in the Fall.
Love this! So sweet!
Doesn’t everyone draw with a lobster perched upon their shoulder?
Wishing you many blessings on this gorgeous Easter Sunday.
From our family to yours, Happy Easter.
Bubbles provide hours of entertainment for these two. They had to relocate to the playhouse to blow them because Fergus was leaping through the air eating all of them. It was hilarious. I should have taken a picture of that. Next time for sure!
“Holy Moly! Mommy, did you see that bubble?!?!”
Livie figured out if you catch one on the wand, you can then blow more bubbles with it.
Does anyone ever outgrow the love of blowing bubbles? I think not.
