You guys you guys you guys! Monday afternoon I was hanging out, minding my own business, when a giant box arrived at my door. It was a food dehydrator, an early birthday gift from my loving husband! My dreams have come true! Watch for Monday's post when I will give you the lowdown on my new bff and our drying adventures.
Here it is, Easter weekend. It's a holiday but LUNCHES TAKE HOLIDAYS FOR NO ONE. And so the Ladies Who (Make) Lunch soldier on, whipping up tasty things for our families. Here's a quick recipe roundup for spring-like tasty treats you could whip up this weekend. Spoiler alert: my family will be enjoying dried pineapple!
For a quick and tasty lunch, try Dave's Tomato and Cucumber Salad.
For a decadent dessert, try Marilyn's Lemon Marscarpone Cheesecake.
Speaking of lemon, Hannah's recipe for Dorothy's Lemon Muffins are quickly becoming famous. Note: I attempted a vegan version of this recipe yesterday, and it was kind of a bust. So go ahead with the eggs and butter, unless you're looking for a sad, scone-like version.
Do you have some dying bananas hanging around? Try my Very Best Banana Bread (also makes a GREAT lunchbox addition).
This recipe for Strawberries with Cocoa Whip is making me drool.
Too much chocolate this weekend? Get things back on track with a Green Monster Smoothie, or try my friend Lyn's husband's recipe for a super-sour vitamin C rich smoothie:
1 grapefruit
1 apple
ice
touch of sweetener
BLEND THAT SUCKER UP, PUCKER UP, BUTTERCUP.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone. Happy lunching!
Great roundup Nicole, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Nicole. Thank you. xo Beck
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the roundup. Gonna try and do those lemon muffins today as I think I am the only one left on twitter who hasn't. I am also making the tomato and cucumber salad because hubs loves it, it is low carb AND I got 8 Roma tomatoes in my good food box Thursday night.
ReplyDeleteAnd hubs was TICKLED that you included his VERY FRIGHTENING smoothie.
