A few fun ways to give Peeps

Whether you like to eat them or not, 
you have to admit Peeps are adorable.

Nothing is more fun at Easter than picking up a pack for a sweet and silly gift.

You can give Peeps in Jeeps...

Carrot Soap - Easy Easter DIY


The perfect Easter craft to make for all your Peeps.
Super simple with just 3 ingredients -
make a big batch of
Carrot Soap!

All you need is:
Shea Butter Soap 
(it usually comes in a "brick" that is easy to divide)
 and Scented Oils from the Craft Store
& grated carrots.
The carrots add a fun texture and fabulous natural color.

To make 3 small bunny soaps, 
place a 1oz cube of the soap and 2 tablespoons of grated carrot 
in a microwave safe container
(preferably one that is easy to pour out of - I use a glass gravy boat)

Then add a few drops of your favorite scented oil
(this is optional, I just love to make them smell good)

Melt in microwave for approximately 30 seconds and give it a quick stir, 
then pour into silicon molds.

Repeat steps until your bunnies have multiplied to your liking...

Let set about an hour, in a cool environment,
 until you can easily pop them out.

Since the carrots are fresh, 
use within 2 weeks.


Clean bunnies are the best, 
Happy Easter!

Bread Basket - Easter Hostess Gift

Thank you to La Crema Wines for sponsoring this post.  All opinions are entirely my own, and yes, La Crema is my fave!

I love to have fun with Hostess Gifts.
I always include a great bottle of wine and for Easter this year,
I'm thinking a little outside of the "basket".



Instead of the traditional Easter Basket,
I am bringing our hosts
and Easter Bread Basket.



Homemade Rosemary, Parmesan and Sea Salt Focaccia...
(really, I made it!)

(my new favorite wine for Spring and Summer,
it is light, floral with hints of pear and meyer lemon)

and a cutting board and truffle olive oil for dipping...

the La Crema Monterey Pinot Gris is perfect with the focaccia...

and also pairs excellently with baking and waiting for the dough to rise!

I am so thrilled to be collaborating with La Crema
on ways to celebrate holidays and every day.
It is a dream come true to be working with my favorite winery.

The La Crema Blog is a great resource, filled with food, fashion and living the good life.
I am sharing my focaccia recipe there today.


This post was sponsored by La Crema,
 but all opinions and love of their wines is entirely my own.

Easter Basket...Ball- Sports Themed Easter


March Madness is over,
 but basketball will still be all my nephew talks about.

He will be "hooping" down the bunny trail 
with a special basket from us.

I hope it will be a slam dunk...


and if you are wondering what his eggs will be filled with...
rumor has it that George Washington (and a few of his friends) 
will be the Easter Bunny this year…
just a little Bunny Money

SCRABBLED Eggs


I have cooked up a quite a few ways to use those 
plastic Easter Eggs,
but I think my favorite way to prepare them is...



you take an egg and shake it...


crack it open...


and you are left with 
Scrabbled Eggs!


 

 if you add a little holiday magic,
they spell...





I suddenly have the urge to play Words with Friends...
Happy Easter!
