Tatum helped me in the kitchen all day. I wanted to make a special meal for my mom, Doug, and Tot. It required lots of prep!
Tatum and I decided to make our own version of Hot Cross Buns with coconut flour and vanilla cream cheese frosting. She helped frost them after a few taste tests. Ha!
We also made maple blueberry turkey sausage patties. DELISH!
Avocado deviled eggs and fruit to finish it off. You’ll see pics tomorrow..
We also made Easter cookies. They were symbolic of the death of Jesus and His resurrection. Her school gave her this recipe, so we decided to try it.
We pounded the pecans to signify His brutal beating.
Then she smelled the vinegar to signify the sour taste of his death.
Then the salt to signify the salty tears he shed for us.
None of this is very appetizing yet. But then…The SUGAR! The sweetness of the Lord’s death and His love for us!
Now we beat until we have peaks forming.
Add in the pecans and drop the mounds on the cookie sheet (with wax paper). These are the tomb. We then put them in the oven (which has been preheated to 300 and then turned off)
Seal the oven shut. (the tomb is now blocked)
The next morning, we unseal the tomb and look what we have!
They are hollow inside like the empty tomb. They also are delicious meringues!
Glory to God; He has risen.
More on the breakfast in the next blog!!
