Happy Easter and ANZAC day!

Happy Easter to you!!!

All of Australia has a 5-day holiday this weekend. Almost everything closes Good Friday through ANZAC (Australia & New Zealand Marine Corps) day which falls on Tuesday April 25 this year.

We were thinking about traveling around Australia or driving south to Marg River for this long holiday, but decided to stay put and enjoy our home. (plus airfare skyrocketed last month!) So we've been sleeping in (one day til 11am!!!), playing with the dogs and cooking! I've made some really yummy treats.... homemade granola, an apple crisp, spinach & Gouda quiche, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink frittata. Today....it's blueberry muffins or oatmeal pancakes??? What sounds good to you? :)

Tomorrow I will attempt the traditional ANZAC cookie (or biscuit as they're called over here) made with local honey, oatmeal, coconut and golden syrup.

I really miss my family during the holidays and Easter isn't an exception! Ricky and I made the weekend special though. We surprised each other with Easter baskets filled with yummy goodies, sipped champagne during a leisurely brunch and enjoyed my apple crisp and coffee over great conversation with friends. Oh and not to forget.... lots of chocolate easter eggs!!! yummm!
