Easter Dinner

Whew!  Yesterday was a busy day!  We started off the morning at church—awesome to see it so packed!  I go to a huge church that is always pretty full, but yesterday was over the top!  We had amazing weather yesterday—70 degrees on the last day of March!  I was excited to let David wear some cute new shorts I got for him.  Growing up, Easter always meant new springy clothes, but here in Seattle it’s usually too cold.  After church we came home and enjoyed a long family walk before I got to work in the kitchen preparing dinner.

egg-hunt

Hunting for [plastic] eggs in the backyard! Filled with stickers.

Now that my kitchen is finally back to normal and I wanted to take a minute to show you all of the treats from the day!  Irving and I hosted my parents and one of my sisters for dinner yesterday and we had enough food for an army!  I kept things fairly traditional, but it was all vegan of course!  I made “Potato Angels”—vegan deviled eggs for an appetizer—they were super cute, but it was a lot of potato!  We had acorn squash stuffed with quinoa as our “main dish.” Our sides were garlic smashed potatoes with lots of extra nutritional yeast, a Waldorf salad (a new favorite!!!), and green bean casserole.  My mom actually prepared the green beans from one of my recipes, and I’m going to share that recipe later this week.  For dessert I made a raw coconut lime tart—yum!  I hope you enjoyed the holiday with your families!

Roasted potatoes, stuffed with hummus and a good dose of turmeric!

dinner

Mashed Yukon Gold potatoes (skin on) with lots of garlic (a whole head!) and lots of nooch!

squash

Roasted acorn squash stuffed with a savory quinoa pilaf—peas, zucchini, basil, scallions, and a lemon olive oil dressing.

salad

The dressing for this salad is made of blended apple, raisins, and walnuts—so yummy and creamy!

beans

Tastes just like the original, but veganized! Sauteed onions turned into a grazy smother crunchy green beans, with a crispy onion topping—delicious!

pie

Creamy, tart, cold, and refreshing—a perfect light dessert after a heavy meal.

The spread—I was so stuffed after dinner!
