Sorry I didn't post last week! We were in Disneyland!! It was our little one's first time at Disneyland, and I hadn't been in... about 20 years so, it was high time for us to go! We really had a blast! If you don't remember, in this family we love Disneyland! Click on the links for our previous posts about how great Disneyland is, and how to get the most out of your trip!  Getting on our first ride of the day! Alice in Wonderland! Anyway, we are, sadly, back now. BUT! Being back means that I can share this great banana bread recipe with you! I know I have shared a few banana bread recipes with you in the past. Like this great gluten free option here, and this one for lactating mothers. I've also shared with you a pumpkin banana bread recipe, and my mom shared this banana bread in a crock pot! What can I say, banana bread is delicious! I buy a lot of bananas now, but our little one is really the only one who eats them, so I have many opportunities to make banana bread. Well, before we left on our trip I was trying to make sure we didn't have any fruit left to sit around and rot while we were gone for a week. I also did not want to make a huge mess, so I decided to try out banana bread using a cake mix and I have to say, I have no regrets.
We actually took this on our trip and our little one chowed down on it! It was one of the few things she would eat (she is suddenly in that picky stage where she doesn't like to eat any food... yay!) Anyway, I had to share it with you. And, as you can see from my notes, this one can be made gluten free as well! So, now you have so many tasty banana bread options, which one will you pick?

This is the post we put up last year on Good Friday. As I read through it, it is still the way I feel about my Savior and Easter, so I am going to re-post it today as a FAVORITE Friday Fave! Have a wonderful Easter everyone! #BecauseOfHim Last Friday for Friday Faves #56, we talked about the top 10 things that we love about Easter. Today is Good Friday, the day that is almost the culmination to Holy Week. Good Friday is the day Christ died on the cross. He atoned for our sins because He loves us. He made repentance possible. But, we know that as difficult and sad as that part of the story is to read, that dark day is not where the story ends. Because, on the third day, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, overcame death and rose again. And, on Easter Sunday, that is what we celebrate! So, for today's Friday Faves # 57, we asked ourselves, and we ask you: What helps you to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ at Easter? This is a special post to us and we felt that the best Easter message that we can share is the true one, so this is our Easter wish and Easter gift to you. Between the 4 of us, we came up with a few excellent ways to remember the Savior and his glorious Resurrection.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
 I hope that you enjoy it! It isn't blurry in real life, that is just the glare on the glass of the frame.
 This year I did follow along with #BecauseOfHim as we went through this Holy Week in the Savior's life. I hope that it added to the Spirit of your Easter this year! Here at 3 Winks, we are all looking forward to some wonderful Easter traditions. We hope that you all have a wonderful time with your family and friends this holiday and are able to ponder the impact the Savior has made in your lives! We know that because of Him we have hope and peace. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Cor. 15:55). Happy Easter!

I am so excited to be hosting an Easter Brunch this year at our house! Traditionally, we have had a big Easter Dinner, but in order to accommodate everyone's schedules this year, everyone is going to attend church with us and then come back to our house afterwards for brunch! There should be about 18 of us, including children. That is a lot for our small house, but we have done that before. But, coming up with a menu and how I want to decorate has been the things I have struggled with. Today I will talk about the food and save the decorating for another day.
When I think of brunch, I think of food items that can translate to breakfast or lunch. They shouldn't be too heavy and everything should look beautiful and appetizing! I also have had to consider many types of diets with so many people. I have come up with a mixture of home cooked and also purchased items that I think will provide choices for everyone that they will enjoy and that will make everyone feel like this brunch satisfied their Easter holiday food expectations. I hope that you can find some ideas to add to your menu! These could also translate to a Mother's Day Brunch as well!
Main Dishes
I've decided to purchase croissants and crackers and to have 3 choices for fillings:
The nice thing about all of these foods is that they can be eaten without bread by those who are gluten-free or low-carb eaters, or with crackers! Of course, there will be condiments on the side as well, like mayo, mustard, ranch and Italian dressings, salt, pepper...you know.
Side Dishes
Beverages
We will be serving a variety of juices and water. This is one of the things I've assigned out!
Pastries and Desserts
The Plan!
My plan is to shop and cook so that everything is finished and ready to put out the day before. I will also set and decorate my tables. The platters for food will be out and ready to fill. Then, when we get home, it will be easy to pop everything onto the platters and serve! We will serve buffet style around our kitchen island and counters. Here are a few tips to help everything to work well:
Those are my ideas! I would love to hear yours and what you are doing for your Easter dinner or brunch! Drop me a line in the comments! Most of all, have a blessed, wonderful, happy Easter!
