Greetings, friends!
I don't know about you but I am excited that it's Easter this week. Right around this time in the years past, my little girl and I would usually plan our small mother/daughter getaway that we tried to make happen every May. I would fill a whole ton of those plastic eggs with quarters and hide them all around the house for her Easter egg hunt. She would have fun looking for them and also collect herself a little souvenir spending money for our vacation (plus let's not forget the bonus of preventing some cavities!) Vacations have obviously become a distant dream during this crazy time we are living in but good memories are most welcome right now.
I get that it is a holiday rooted in Christian traditions and therefore may not be celebrated by all...but I think that any holiday symbolizing rebirth, and renewal, spring, and just LIFE in general is truly worth our celebration right now regardless of whatever faith or belief background you come from. I know I need it...the renewal of daily hope that everything will return to normal and that our loved ones near and dear will remain safe through this. With that said, to lighten the mood a little, I've shared a snippet of a home video above that we took a couple Easters ago where I surprised my kid and my niece with some "hard-boiled" eggs that magically turned to little cakes :)
We are excited to share the pre-order menu for the week with you. It's definitely in tune with the holiday but a lot of our regular fare is on there still. You'll see classic Easter hot cross buns and delicious brunch quiches w/ ham, Gruyere cheese, and spinach make an appearance for this week only. We're also whipping up carrot cake cupcakes (I LOVE carrot cake and our recipe is chock full of add-ons because who likes carrot cake with only carrots!?) For you chocolate lovers though, there is the option of chocolate cupcakes with coconut cream frosting with little Cadbury eggs nesting on top. And, of course, there is good ole' sourdough bread and a variety of croissant/pastry choices available. Our wine and beer offerings are listed online as well just waiting to come home with ya.
