Last week we did pretty well sticking to things. I tried some new things for Easter dinner this year. We have always done turkey for every holiday meal. That's all good, but I lost track of time and forgot to make my potato pan rolls so I tried a new bread roll recipe that was a bit faster. They are good, but almost seem better for sandwiches rather than side rolls. I'll be trying them again for sure.
I also ran out of time to make pies (mainly because they need to chill) and my husband suggested it might be nice to try carrot cake. My mom had a killer recipe from our close family friend that I've been wanting to try. I don't know why I haven't tried before! It was AMAZING! So moist and rich and of course creamy frosting with a little tang from cream cheese and sour cream.
It was originally a sheet cake but I wanted a layer cake so I made some modifications. I also modified the frosting a bit so it would cover more. We will totally be having this again. In the mean time, we have a new meal plan for this week that's a little nuts. I'm really hoping I can stick to it, but it will be pretty rocky, mainly for dinner.
