What is the hardest part of cooking a holiday meal for you?
Coming up with a menu for a holiday meal is the hardest part for me.
I long for somebody to just tell me what they want. Even better is when they beg for their favorite recipe from my repertoire.
But when I ask my husband and extended family what they want for Easter dinner, I usually get something like, "Whatever you want to fix. Everything you make is good." We all know that isn't necessarily true--especially if you love experimenting like I do.
If you go through the same song and dance at your house, I have ideas. None of these are complex recipes, so give them a try.

It reminded me that it can be difficult for beginners to figure out when their yogurt is done or set. It's also easy to sabotage the incubation process while checking if it's not done carefully.

Hi Friends, I hope you are well and experiencing success in the kitchen these days. I've been thinking about our Easter celebration and making Hot Cross Buns (with the link I messed up in my last email, sorry) on Good Friday. Easter dinner and the egg hunt are planned for my house. When I get home from church, I want to have bread dough ready to shape into dinner rolls. One option is to make brown and serve rolls or refrigerate the dough the day before, but there's another way to have hot,...
