Happy Easter!

I made this scruptious lemon meringue pie for dessert for our Easter dinner. We also had a baked ham, au gratin potatoes, and asparagus w/hollandaise sauce.

I also made these adorable little place cards for our table setting, but we ended up eating in the living room becuase it got so late! (I didn't really want to write our names on them anyway!)

Cinnamon Rolls 101

I'll admit that I have only used yeast a handful of times in my life (and not always successfully!) When I read an article in Bon Appetit by Molly Wizenberg (a.k.a. Orangette) titled "The Trouble with Yeast," I knew that I had to try to make these gooey Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Glaze for myself. I had to put the rolls directly on the heat register so that they would be warm enough to rise, and it took a lot longer than the recipe suggested, but they were a success! I took a picture of the rolls in the pan so that I would know when they had "doubled in size." This picture shows them at the peak of plumpness.
