Ina Garten's Macaroni & Cheese
Ina's Chive Biscuits

and for dessert Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream and filled with Toffee
I started the morning by cutting some daffodils and hyacinth for the mantle to accompany all of hand-made Easter decorations. I love the smell of hyacinth this afternoon I took a nap and when I woke up I could smell the hyacinth from across the room.
I love these daffodils. I have a habit of going to Brian's father Ronnie's house and cutting bouquets of them. This year he sent over a box of daffodil bulbs from his yard!
Here are some glitter eggs in front of roses I made using coffee filters.
I love roasted asparagus. I just toss them with salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic. They roast in an oven set to 400˚F for about 20 minutes. I was also excited to cut chives from the yard for chive & cheddar biscuits. Nicole and Brian both said they loved the biscuits.
Here are the biscuits from start to finish, they looked wonderful on a green platter it complimented the chives in the biscuits.
Here are my cupcakes, they came out great! I am sending a platter of them to Brian's office tomorrow, I hope they like them. I made Martha Stewart's One-Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes from her Cooking School book. I then made the toffee recipe that was featured on Martha by a gentleman who made Matzel Toff. I just used an injector tip on a piping bag and injected a generous amount into the center of each cupcake. I then used Billy's Chocolate Buttercream(also featured on Martha). The cupcakes were then finished with chocolate jimmies, another drizzling of toffee and a chocolate chip on top.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
