We had a lovely little family get together on Sunday with our real family and our Easter surrogates. It was a pretty fun event, complete with a mobile bar station.We love our apps, so I made sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits to kick us off.
Preheat to 325. Start out with a can of Grands biscuits - separate them into thirds and place them in your greased muffin tins.
Fry up your sausage until brown and crumbly, add 2 eggs, and 2 cups of cheddar. Add a spoonful of this mix over your biscuit thirds, pop in the oven for 25 minutes. Serve with blackberry or strawberry jam - watch the praise roll in.
Brad made a stuffed artichoke. In my haste to eat it, I neglected to photograph it. It was delicious. Maybe someday he will share the preparation of that beast with us!
Clay manned the roving bar (which went from back porch to front porch depending on the level of "drizzle"). Everyone was drinking what looked like a delicious champagne cocktail with orange juice and maybe grape or cranberry juice. They seemed refreshed.
Then we moved on to the main affair: lunch.
Becky made vegetable risotto, which she served with turkey and ham in true Easter style. Mom made a corn casserole that was cheesy and delicious-y. We had garlic cheese biscuits, jalapeno cheese bread from Empire Bakery, cheese straws. We also had Jason's favorite - deviled eggs.
The piece de resistance, however, was Katie's cake. Angel food cake, iced with some kind of chocolate-whipped cream-espresso concoction, and then topped with crushed Heath bar...this was definitely my favorite part of lunch!
We swapped Easter baskets, we blew bubbles on the front porch, and we celebrated Jesus followed by basketball. Can't beat it!
