Happy Easter and Passover!

Hey everyone! Seems like we a knee deep in holidays today :) Happy Easter/Passover to all of my blogger buddies, I hope that you have all been enjoying a beautiful weekend. I had a lovely day with the family yesterday and had an Easter brunch at my brother's house today. My sister in law celebrates Easter and since she has joined our family we've been celebrating all of the holidays :) It was a fun time, got to hang out with Delilah all weekend. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous all weekend too which has made it that much better.

So, while I haven't been eating any grains or indulging in any yummy candy, I have had some blogworthy meals. Lets check em out.


Breakfast was a banana with all natural peanut butter, raisins and cinnamon. So delicious and filling.


I made this tofu scramble to bring for our lunch/brunch. I tried using Vegg for the first time and had some problems with it. I mixed the powder with water and when I added it to the scramble it was all liquid. I turned the heat all the way up and cooked out the water, but in the process the veggies got way overcooked and everything was soggy. And now just looking at the site to link it I saw it was 1/4 cup of water I was supposed to use, not 1 cup. Oops. OK so I will post a real review when I make it correctly, which will probably be tomorrow because I'm curious! Anyway, I ate this scramble with some fruit and it was good. 


Now I couldn't rightfully hang out with Delilah and not show you some photos. Here she is in her pretty Easter dress all perplexed by some matzah. I know Delilah, it is perplexing to all of us.


Here she is all comfy in her play clothes trying out her new trampoline! She's so precious :) And she has so much energy! 

I hope you all had a very happy Easter! Back to the grind tomorrow, wah! Have a good night!

    1. She looked so pretty in her dress :) She had fun in her trampoline. She liked the easter candy more than the matzah. Smart girl!

  2. It's the banana split!! Woo hoo! :) You are totally my role model, abstaining from grains for 8 days. At least you have only six more to go (or is it five?)

    Bad news bears on the Vegg experience this morning; I've completely done something similar! As I've not used anything like it before, I'm curious to hear your review tomorrow.

    Oh, sweet Delilah! She has the best expressions!

    1. Haha yes the banana split is back! trust me, grain free is not by choice but it'll be a good little cleanse I guess :) 6ish days, our holidays start at sunday, this is the second full day.

      Yeah I totally spazzed out this morning but I'll make it correctly tomorrow!

      She has so much personality! She makes me laugh all the time, she is the best :)

  5. I love Delilah's Easter dress. We should all treat ourselves to fun new clothes this Spring. I have never heard of Vegg. I'm looking forward to your review.
