Preparing for Easter and a Weekly Menu featuring leftovers

We are now starting the celebration of the Easter Triduum. We start with Mass tonight for Holy Thursday.  Friday is a day of sorrow and mourning as we acknowledge that our Savior died, nailed to a cross, to redeem us to everlasting life.  Saturday night we will celebrate the Easter Vigil with a Mass and then Sunday is a day of glorious celebration that we will celebrate with a Dinner with family and friends.

Irish Soda Bread Muffins #MuffinMonday

I baked these muffins up as part of my St. Patrick's Day festivities but they are such a delicious combination of savory and sweet that they need to be made more than just once a year.

Banana Cream Pie #SundayFunday

Slices of perfectly ripe banana with homemade custard, covered in whipped cream and garnished with more banana slices in a flaky pie shell.  Such delicious childhood memories.

Greek Chicken and the Weekly Menu

Tender chicken breasts marinated in lemon and herbs and then baked in the oven. This entree is easy, healthy, and delicious.  I served it with a side of cabbage salad and roasted baby potatoes.

The chicken remained juicy and flavorful.  I think this marinade will be revisited during the summer months with the chicken going onto the grill rather than in the oven.
