It is Resurrection Day! Or as many, even I, myself, quite often call it Easter. :)

I love the reference to Easter as Resurrection Day though. Anyhow that is what it is, the day in which our Lord rose from the dead! There is just something about the term Easter that makes me think of bunnies, candy, painted eggs, but not our Lord. There is no getting around that when you term the day Resurrection Day. Anyways, whichever you call it, happy day to you!

He is risen!! Indeed, He is risen!

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:8-11

Happy day all.

Well, I am back to posting and have some recipes to share. Lately, I have been totally into making my own bread. It is tasty, makes the house smell delicious, dirt cheap, and relatively easy, you just have to be patient. :) A few weeks back a friend shared a No Knead Bread recipe. I have used the recipe at least 6 or 7 times already, maybe more. Since, I have been fooling around with the very basic recipe by adding my own add-ins to spruce up the bread a bit. Don't get me wrong, it is delicious as is, but variety is fun too. I have made a cinnamon raisin bread, wheat bread, seeded bread and blueberry bread. Get creative, make your own loaf to suit your taste.

Follow the recipe as is...then add in a few extras before you mix your bread all up. For the blueberry bread I added about a cup of fresh blueberries, a generous amount of vanilla extract and a touch of sugar.  Use your judgement on the breads consistency. If it seems too wet add a bit of flour, too dry a bit of water. You get the point.

And while I'm at it, I wanted to share a  Lemon Bar recipe with you. It was made for a friend's shower. My favorite thing about these bars are their vibrant color! Thank you egg yolks. Trust me, it is worth all those egg yolks, save your whites. It'll give you an excuse to make some of those delicious little meringue cookies!

Note: when you strain your lemon bars you can save the lemon curds and use it to spread on a warm or toasted slice of blueberry bread or whatever bread you've got around. It is good, and resourceful!

If you saved your whites, chocolate chip meringue cookies can be found here. They're gluten free :)
Enjoy!
