Hello y’all! How was your Easter Sunday celebration? I hope it was wonderful although I guess it was different than before, like ours.
We always celebrate Easter Sunday with my brother-in-law and his family. My sister-in-law would always prepare a sumptuous meal with adorable Easter treats that she makes with her grand kids’ assistance.
As expected, we all had to do it separately and differently than what we were accustomed to. But it doesn’t mean it had to be a sad celebration. You can still make it joyful although you are quarantined. And that’s exactly what we did.
Heard a Catholic Mass
Back when I was still in the Philippines, a TV Station there would always air a Catholic Mass live on TV every Sunday. If we missed going to church, we’d watch.
So hearing or watching a Catholic Mass on TV yesterday wasn’t new to me. And it was good to start the day hearing the Gospel.
Baked Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Our son was craving for chocolate crinkle cookies on Friday so he whipped the dough and baked a dozen of ’em. I just put the rest of the dough in the fridge and baked some more on Easter Sunday.
Ordered Asian Food
For dinner, we decided to go Asian. Well, as an Asian, it definitely was the cuisine that appealed to me yesterday. It wasn’t the kind of food that we usually had at my in-laws, but our tummies were sure happy.
I am going to share more about this dinner on Friday. For now, I’m going to give you a sneak peek of what we had.
These are Takoyaki balls. This is one of my son’s favorite snacks back in my hometown and we were so delighted to see this on the menu yesterday. And it was so good.
Watched a Movie
After dinner, Hubby and I watched this movie ‘Green Book‘. It was such a great film. I think Hubby’s going to blog more about it soon.
How about you? How did you spend your quarantined Easter?
Yum, Asian food always makes me happy. We still had ham and all that and we relaxed at home. No service though since we aren’t religious, but we did go on an easter egg hunt in the backyard!
You seem to be making the most of the time and your cookies looked amazing. I am sure your family appreciates th effort you are putting into your cooking.
I spent most of the day pretty much working around the yard. I also did a little cooking and baking.
We did mass at home too. It was a little strange but hey we didn’t have to dress up so that was cool!
id love to try and make those crinkle cookies- they look delicious and easy to make
Happy belated Easter, it sounds like you had a great day. We normally host Easter dinner, but of course, this year, we did not have anyone over. It was nice though, my kids made a delicious tater tot casserole for the main course.
I really want to try making crinkle cookies sometime. It sounds like you guys had a lovely Easter.
I love crinkles! Of course, I love Asian food.
Staying at home is what’s best for all of us for now. But I hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family ,. I’ve always love Asian Food. They are the best an those chocolate crinkle cookies look soooo yummy!
We missed out celebrating with our grandkids and it breaks my heart. You know, like me, how fleeting childhood is and I didn’t want to miss a second of it, but what can you do.
Oh those chocolate crinkle cookies look and sound so delicious. I would love to make that over the weekend.
We didn’t do a whole lot for Easter this year. Those crinkle cookies look amazing too. I love making them. They are so good.
The chocolate crinkle cookies look insane!!! Ordering ingredients now from the local shop who are delivering!!
Yes, those chocolate cookies are exactly what I need! I will make them tomorrow with my kid!
It was such a strange Easter this year. It really just came and went for my house.
BB and Sweetie started Easter Sunday by seeing the Facebook sermon of our local church. Isn’t it wonderful these things are possible? Later we got to see via computer our grandchildren and all the goodies they got and all the eggs the found. Easter dinner was a combo of both BB’s Hispanic heritage and Sweetie’s traditional cuisine. All in all, a true blessing of a day. Glad yours was too.
♥️♥️♥️
We had a pretty low key Easter Sunday. My daughter and I were camping out in a tent and she slept late. We made a yummy breakfast carbonara pasta for brunch.
We had a pretty fun Easter Sunday. My kids and I spent a lot of time in our backyard. Those Takoyaki balls look so yummy!
