Easter Evening at Home

Morning!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! I did! The weather was superb and I did some shopping for the home. On Saturday I went to the grocery to get the rest of my items for Easter, took my car to the car wash, and then headed to HomeGoods. I found some wonderful items there for my yard!

This is a snapshot of my cart! I had some faux flowers, a basket for organizing, a swan for my yard (whom I have named Charlotte), and a gorgeous watering can! I love this watering can. I can’t wait to use it for my porch flowers!

This is a snapshot from my video. I recorded a small video while I was in the store. Save me from HomeGoods!

On Sunday we spent the day at home watching service online and preparing for my in-laws to come by for an early Easter dinner. I decided on meatloaf this year because I wanted something different. Most people have ham (I think) but I wanted something a little more savory so I made my favorite meatloaf recipe from Martha Stewart.

This was so delicious! I have used this recipe twice and both times my meatloaf was sensational! It has carrots, onions, parsley, and celery. I also made roasted greens and tossed them with butter. 

This was the table setting. I purchased purple stock and baby’s breathe from the grocery store. I also loved using my Johann Haviland china that I purchased from Facebook Marketplace. It looked beautiful!

My mother-in-law made the mashed potatoes. I love her mashed potatoes. They taste so good! Then I put some southern style buttery biscuits in the oven from the Schwann man. He still delivers here in Indiana and I love their biscuits.

For dessert, my mother-in-law brought a vanilla whip cream cake with fresh berries in sugary syrup. SOOOOO good!

Oh mercy, it was delicious!

The cake was so moist, the cream was delicious, and the berries… oh my! It was superb! All in all, it was a wonderful dinner and a great time with my in-laws. Oh and we also tried a new wine. It was called Oliver Lemon Moscato Wine. Oh, I think I just found my new wine for the summer! It was so refreshing and just sweet enough. It was divine!

It was a wonderful weekend. The weather was great, the food, shopping, and morning worship remembering why we celebrate Easter and why we serve a wonderful God! Have a great Monday!
