Easter Decor 2022

Just like the sight of the first robin for the year, putting up the Easter decor around my home signifies the arrival of spring to me. The bright colors and cheery additions instantly brighten my mood. I hope by viewing my decor, you get some ideas for your own home as well. 

I began, of course, by changing the front door wreath. This wreath below is actually a garland I wired onto a grapevine wreath and added a bow to. 

Inside the door, I changed my usual display to add more lighter colors by filling a glass urn with bright faux Easter eggs and small bunny knickknacks found in the Target dollar spot this year. 

To the other side, I decided to pull my whimsical Easter village out of storage. I hadn't used these pieces in years! I collected these several years ago from JoAnn's, I don't believe they still make a village.  displayed the pieces at varying heights to be able to fit them all into a small space. 

To further brighten the living room, I added an Easter throw and covered the pillows with covers from Hobby Lobby.  I am also always amazed how Dante somehow knows to change his toys out with the seasons as well. He pulled this bunny toy out on his own!

The jackalope pillow cover on the chair inspired me to change by usual dough bowl out for a gold horn adorned catch all bowl as well on the ottoman. 

In the dining room, I changed the usual chicken fruit bowl on the buffet for this adorable straw figurine of a bunny couple in a gondola. 

I also opted to update the display on the fireplace to showcase my hand painted Orthodox Easter egg collection.

Easy Lasagna Recipe!

 For Befana last week, I made an easy lasagna dish that I make, and it was a hit. Thought I would share with you here. I also decided to venture into YouTube and posted my first ever vlog video. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/ZEm9XRN-rb8.  We can cook this recipe together; I make it in the video. It has gone live, so check it out and let me know how I did.

Lasagna recipe:

Need- box of lasagna noodles 15oz Ricotta cheese package of shredded mozzarella cheese (I used lower fat) sprinkle parmesan and Romano cheese mix 1.5lb ground beef 2 jars sauce (I prefer Del Grosso- Tomato Basil) Salt & Pepper to taste Steps- Cook the noodles and brown the beef adding salt and pepper to taste. Coat bottom of baking dish with thin layer of sauce to prevent sticking. Layer noodles on bottom, add sauce, ground beef, ricotta (spread out), mozzarella, sprinkle cheese, more sauce, layer of noodles, repeat through 3 layers. Use all Ricotta and ground beef before top layer. Finish top layer with sauce, end of Mozzarella, and sprinkle cheese. Cover with foil and place in oven at 350 for 1 hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Remove foil and leave in another 15 minutes to brown top. Enjoy!
