Happy Easter my friends!!

Regardless of your beliefs I wish you a day filled with Family, Love and CHOCOLATE!!

No matter how old my kids get, the Easter Bunny still remembers how much they love them some SUGAR!   But because none of them like Peeps and I usually end up eating them he purposely left them out this year!  Thank you Easter Bunny!!

The thing about Peeps that most people don’t realize is that you have to let them ripen.   Yep, it’s true…   I’m not a huge fan of marshmallow but if you make a cut in the wrapper and put them aside for a week or two, the stale ripe Peeps are more taffy-like and OH SO DELISH!!    There’s my Easter tip for you, try it, you wont be disappointed.   But then again, I’m the girl who likes stale candy canes too because they’re chewy… don’t judge.

I had my “last chance workout” yesterday.   Sister and I ran 8 lovely miles and it felt amazing.  I’m entering hell PMS week so I’m not expecting this weeks runs to feel this good, enjoy it while you can right??  We’re entering into our last few weeks of Half Marathon training so our mileage will only get higher here on out.

For those of you with oodles and oodles of hard boiled eggs on your hands I wanted to share something I did with a couple of mine the other day.   I took 2 of them, tossed the yolks and diced up the whites with some roasted red bell pepper, baby portobello mushrooms, onion, spinach and crumbled feta cheese and then topped it with some salsa.   Muy delicioso!!

I thought I’d leave you with some pictures of our lovely creations…

stuffed with treats!

Some bubbles, 2 new bathing suits, sunscreen, Easter socks and enough HFCS to keep the corn industry alive for the next 14,635 days!
