Happy Easter morning 🙂
I took the holiday as an opportunity to create a fun pancake breakfast –
I made a batch of pancakes with my Quaker Pancake Mix. The egg was decorated with pumpkin butter, blueberry preserves, 3 little pancake shapes (made with mini cookie cutters), a little Barney Butter, and craisins.
This little peep was in almond butter heaven!
With cooked apples, cinnamon and almond slivers – on top of a little pancake. (Yes, I did eat the peep – he was excellent with MaraNatha on his bottom!)
After breakfast we finished Australia. I LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!! The story, the music, the characters, the production. I love Baz Luhrmann (and Moulin Rouge) and his style. I have a special connection with Somewhere Over The Rainbow from playing Dorothy in 2nd grade, so I loved that theme. The “Mango, mango” song that Nullah sang was lovely as well, and I loved King George’s character. I agree it was a little long, but since I was enjoying the movie (and had the time), the length didn’t bother me. And hunka hunka Hugh Jackman! This was definitely my favorite movie of his.
Matt and I are going off on a romantic biking adventure that may involve a run on the greenway and a trip to the grocery store. Then it’s study time this afternoon.
Hope you are all enjoying your Easter festivities – however you choose to celebrate 🙂

Jessica says
Yes, the bulgur porridge is def more like cold cereal – something you’d prob want to exchange for your quicker mornings on the run.
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says

Peeps are gross, but maybe I would like them with almond butter. He looks like he’s sitting in a nest.
