Five on Friday v.11

Happy Friday to each of you lovelies!!  Let's jump right into today's 5 on Friday link up with April, Christina, Darci and Natasha, shall we?!?

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

ONE:
I'm so looking forward to driving home to see my parents and celebrate Easter with them in the church that I was baptized, confirmed and married in!  And I'm well prepared and won't be caught off guard when Pastor Joel says "He is Risen!" to our congregation..."He is Risen Indeed!"

TWO:
Confession: I have F O U R slow cookers.  Yes, four.  I have one mini, one standard, one that has three separate sized crocks and one programmable 6.5 quart.  And I don't just use them in the Fall and Winter either!!  Mine get just as much use in the Spring and Summer because it allows us to have supper ready to go when the weather is nice and we'd rather be outside enjoying it!  This week I made Slow Cooker Chicken Chile Verde and it was bangin'!!  Do yourself a favor and make her homemade tomatillo salsa verde, don't just buy a jar, it's that good!

THREE:
 I have a bread starter in my refrigerator that I've kept alive for over two years.  Since cutting out most of the grain in my diet I don't do much more than feed it any more though. Once or twice a month I'll make a batch of cinnamon rolls, leave a few for Matt and then give the rest away.  While perusing Pinterest I did find this recipe and may let myself have just one...

FOUR:
 Five of my good friends and I booked a cabin in southern Illinois for a girls weekend this summer.  Coincidentally, it's the weekend before my birthday!  Friends+Wine+Tasty Treats=One Happy Gal 


FIVE:
What's your favorite Easter candy?  I eluded to mine in my post about what I hoped would be in my Easter Basket.  Reese's Eggs and Cadbury Mini Eggs!  I don't do the Cadbury Creme Eggs, but it's a good thing for my waistline that those Mini Eggs only come out once a year!!! 



I hope each of you have a wonderful weekend that's full of sunshine, family, some candy and a little wine to keep you sane!  Happy Easter!

Easter Basket Wishes

This Sunday I will be headed home to my parents with Bella to celebrate Easter.  Our plans include church and then a nice dinner.  Mom is making ham and baked sweet potatoes and I'm contributing our home canned green beans, a lettuce salad with all the fixin's and I'll probably make something for dessert as well!  Matt has turkey tags for this weekend and will head down to southern Illinois Friday afternoon.  Fingers-crossed he shoots something Saturday and will make it to my parents in time for the festivities on Sunday morning! 

And just in case anyone (cough cough... my husband or my mom) wanted to know here are a few things that I'd love to see the Easter Bunny deliver to the farm while we're at church Sunday morning!   On second thought, I might need something bigger than a basket...

Shirt, Nail Polish, Earrings, Lipstick, Watch, Tumbler, Spiral Slicer

What are you hopping, er... hoping will be in your Easter basket?

Snubbing The Snow

Last night we got snow.

Again.

Will the most cold and longest winter of my life ever end?!?!  GAH.

So despite the snow that's threatening to dishearten all Midwesterners, not to mention kill my strawberries and rhubarb plants, I'm posting pictures of my Spring and Easter decor!  



Take that Mother Nature!  We're all getting really sick of your attitude...
