Holiday Tips and treats

Easter is upon us and whether you're a pagan or a christian there are plenty of fun ways to celebrate the holiday.
Here are three days and three ways to celebrate in style.

Day 1- Good Friday
Jesus Shaped Sugar Cookies with grape juice cocktail

As a part of your good friday religious service, these sugar cookies are a great alternative to traditional communion.
I recommend a basic sugar cookie recipe like this. I make my own cookie cutters which is a little bit of work, but worth the effort if you want that extra special touch.


Day 2- Microwave Peeps
The Sunday of Easter weekend is a time to be joyous and celebrate the resurrection. Saturday however, can be a bit of a downer. That lull between the crucifixition and the resurrection doesn't have to leave you down in the dumps. A microwave and a basket full of peeps are a surefire way to lift your spirits.

Day 3- The Obligatory Easter Egg Hunt



No Easter weekend would be complete without an Easter Egg hunt, but if you're a busy "working girl" like me, then you're gonna be tired by the time Sunday rolls around....what with all the cookie baking and peep-o-waving. Instead of going to all the toil and trouble of dying eggs for a traditional Easter Egg hunt, I recommend a much easier option.
Buy yourself the largest plastic eggs that you can. (the kind you put candy in) Head to the liquor store and get yourself some airplane sized bottles of booze. Stuff the booze in the eggs and hide them around the house. The hunt is on.

Have the best Easter celebration, and remember, Don't drink and Drive and only you can prevent a forest fire.
