EASY RICE PUDDING

I thought I had posted this recipe a long time ago...

but when my husband asked me yesterday if I could make rice pudding

for him I went to find the recipe and realized I didn't have it here on

my blog yet...at least I didn't find it...so here it is now...

...this one is about the easiest rice pudding recipe I have come

across over the years...I don't know that I am really a big

fan of it myself but since he likes it so much I will make it for him...

it's kind of like bread pudding... I never cared too much for it but he loves it so...

he gets his bread pudding from time to time too...

...the raisins are optional but I think they add a lot of flavor...

EASTER EGG CINNAMON ROLLS

Now this is a very cute idea too...

just make the refrigerator cinnamon rolls and

put them into plastic Easter eggs..

wouldn't this be fun at a family Easter breakfast...

or to bring to church for an Easter morning coffee get-together...

the ideas people come up with are amazing aren't they..!

...recipe and instructions here..

EASTER BUNNY PAPER DOLLS (free printables)

These are so cute...

every year at Easter time I think about when I was

very young and I had a little yellow plastic Easter bunny

toy...I guess he was about 6 or 7 inches tall...

and I loved him so much...

I would gather up little items and create a house for him

to live in...

I can't say that I even remember exactly where I got him from..

but I played with him imagining that the real Easter bunny

was watching and seeing how good I was behaving...

so he would bring me a great Easter basket with lots of

candy in it...

(I know I was a strange child!)

...but memories like this are just so special to me when I think about

them...and how I wish I still had my yellow bunny...I don't know what

happened to him but I don't have him anymore....

I think something like these cute paper dolls could create memories

for any little child that may stay with them when they get older...

I love the faces on these dolls...

CHEDDAR BACON QUICHE

Once upon a time...many, many years ago...

when we got our first microwave...

I came across a recipe in the book that came with it...

that recipe was for quiche...

now I knew very little about quiche...never had seen it...

let alone cooked it or eaten it...

but I was curious about it so I mixed up the ingredients and

put it in the microwave not really knowing what to expect...

but not only did my husband and I enjoy it a lot...

our daughter loved it!

...many times over the years she asked me to make it again...

and I wanted to...but surprise, surprise...when I went to

do it I couldn't find the recipe book it was in...

over the years I searched but never could find it...

and back then there wasn't any internet to search out recipes on..

at least not in my house...

all I could do was go through recipe books in the store looking for it

but never did find one that sounded like what I had made...

well alas!

...here it is, finally!...

....and a very quick and easy recipe too....

..so...daughter...this one is for you...

...recipe is here...

BUNNY VILLAGE (printable)

I have a very pretty Easter village that my sister and brother-in-law

gave us some years ago...

it's so pretty with all of those spring colored buildings etc. in it...

we set it up and place green Easter basket grass throughout the

whole thing and it's a beautiful display....

....here is a village that you can just print and put together...

there are also bunny neighbors to print out if you want to include

them in your display...

have fun!

...this picture is a little fuzzy but it's small on the website

and I had to enlarge it a little here to show you what

it looks like...the printables will be perfectly clear for you...

..there are several buildings for this village and

here is what the little bunny neighbors look like...

so cute!

BUNNY MASK

These are really cute...

they are printable and there are 4 different colors...

or you can print one that is blank and you can color it yourself...

kids would love these...

I LOVE THESE TOO!

but...somehow I know people would think I'm more

than a bit strange if I walked around wearing one of them...

I am visualizing myself opening the door with one of these on..

or walking up to hand the mail carrier a letter...

or walking into a restaurant to be seated...

how about wearing it to a doctors appointment...?

yes yes...I know this is silly...but silly is fun sometimes!

I'm not going to allow myself to visualize wearing one

as I walk into church...ok ok...I'm done now...

(shopping around Walmart or the Mall with one on?)

laa laa laa....

...get printables here...this is a great site...
