Easter weekend has come and gone and boy was it fun!
We traveled to my parents house in Eastern NC this year after hosting the holiday meal at our house for 2-years.
Mom had the place decked out with Easter greatness.
Her beautiful tablescape for Good Friday dinner.
My in-laws decided to join us for the weekend and my brother and his girlfriend flew in from Louisiana!
Tons of family!
My brother brought all sorts of goodies from the Southland.
Who's familiar with Elmer's Candy out of Ponchatula, Louisiana?
Their Heavenly Hash Easter eggs are delish!
As you can imagine my Mom was thrilled to have everyone at the house!
We spent a lot of time cooking together which was a ton of fun.
My brother and his girlfriend seriously know how to do some cooking!
I'm in detox now!
For Good Friday dinner my brother Wes made a delicious chicken stuffed with sausage and wrapped in bacon.
We also enjoyed our share of deviled eggs, twice baked potatoes, an amazing coleslaw and much more!
Not to mention steaks on Saturday night.
My contribution?
The banana pudding featured on the front of this month's Southern Living Magazine.
I screwed up my meringue because a little bit of yolk got in it but overall I think the idea of putting them in mason jars was fabulous!
And, tasty!
It was a caramelized banana pudding!
Everyone loved them!
I will totally be making them again this Summer at the lake.
The whole weekend was a blast and there is so much more to talk about!
Including our day trip to Pinehurst while the guys played golf.
And, of course..
Our Easter lunch table scape!
Tune in tomorrow!!
