Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter with their friends and families, and had a chance to stuff your bellies full of delicious food. We were able to celebrate with both my hubby's side of the family as well as mine which was perfect.
During Easter we normally buy yummy sweets and chocolates for the kids / adults in the family, but since we've confirmed that BB has a tree nut allergy we decided to change things up a bit this year and make everything homemade. It took a full day of baking, pounds of flour, sugar, butter and even some dyed eggs but in the end the results were super delicious ...
I managed to make 48 Dinner Rolls, 6 Easter Breads and 1 Casatiello. Not bad considering this was the first time I made each of these babies!
This was the basket for my In-laws with the Casatiello which even got a thumbs up from my MIL (yahoo!). I plan on tweaking each of these recipes ever so slightly and I'll post the updated recipes in the next few weeks or so. Especially the Casatiello recipe, since it was a huge pain in the tookhes to find to begin with (plus finding it in English and not Italian was doubley hard).
And here are the cuties all wrapped up and ready to go ...
The goodies were devoured by everyone and I even snuck in a roll later on that night with a nice glass of milk. Double yum, my friends. I hope everyone had a blessed and happy Easter as well!
Yes, they were absolutely delicious and (gasp) they were handmade too. We put the rolls we "stole" from your mother in the freezer so that we can devour the Easter Bread at our leisure. You get a thumbs up from me and a request for these goodies for Thanksgiving!!!! Great job!

I'm glad you liked them enough to pilfer them from your mother :) Maybe for Thanksgiving I'll make the dinner rolls and (gasp) Cheese Rolls *if* I get the recipe ready by then?
