Ravioli & Easter

You might ask yourself....what in the world do ravioli and Easter have to do with each other??? Read on to discover :)

Last night we decorated Easter Eggs. We don't have a ton of Easter traditions at our house, but decorating eggs is one of them. The kids had a great time, which is way better than last year (everyone was grumpy last year for some reason????). Bay and Leah wanted to keep dyeing their eggs in every color available, which was funny.

Eric's eggs are the column on the far left, then come Bay's, then Leah's, and then mine and Dennis'.

This was some "serious" fun!!!!

Like I said before, we don't have a ton of Easter traditions around here, and one of them that we definitely don't have is a certain meal we eat for Easter dinner. Sometimes we have had a Southern MD stuffed ham, other times, I'm not really sure what. Anyways, my mom and I read an article about making your own ravioli, so we decided that would be fun to try for Easter. We spent about 5 hours today making ravioli....130 of them....to be exact. They are 1.5" square, and were really fun and easy to make, just time consuming. Half of them are stuffed with a mixture of 3 cheeses, the other half with a meat/spinach/cheese mixture. We dried them for about 1 hour on trays before putting them in the fridge. Whatever we don't eat tomorrow (which should be a lot left over) we will freeze! This might be the start of a new tradition, then again, traditions are sometimes more fun to break :)

Here is a picture of 40 of them lined up on trays to dry.

Can't wait to eat them....mmmmmm....
