What a year(almost to the end of 2014)!

I am back!!!!   What a year(almost to the end of 2014 literally)...  The death of my grandmother in February had hit hard at home. The funeral was beautiful. It was wonderful seeing the family and friends of hers.  Then a month later, I apparently had an old injury in my shoulder and that caused pain so much that I couldn't move my arm or shoulder real well.   Going back and forth with doctors and specialists within two months.  Finally, I had MRI done on my shoulder. Good enough, I had some tear in my labrum and bicep and the surgery is recommended.  Then two days after my birthday in May, I had the surgery done.   Boy, it was exhilarating experience sleeping on my recliner chair for two months because it was actually the most comfortable way to sleep with my shoulder wrapped with the brace.   Physical Therapy was the most challenging I ever had to endure by going there every week faithfully.  PT Jeff was great and hard on me. He wanted to make sure I continued doing well and not in pain. Last week was the last day of PT and I felt so good doing well. I will still be doing the exercise to continue and improve myself. I won't be 100% until at least a year from last May.  I know this blog is about food I am to make and share...  

I promise you, I will be back soon and sharing some dishes or desserts that I get to make from Pinterest or someone's blog/website.  I often tweak in the recipe when making to my satisfactions of taste buds.  Haha.  

The Pioneer Woman is actually my favorite web site to check out often. She made so many brilliantly and deliciously dishes! 


I hope your 2014 year has been very good!!  I look forward to the fall season, Halloween and Thanksgiving.    Christmas is just about 13 weeks away!  No kidding...


Warmth regards,

Leslie

Planning an Easter Dinner

Hello!!  Easter is just around the corner!  What are you planning to do for Easter Day?  I know several people are going to Easter Dinner Buffets at some restaurants.  They are truly costly and don't feel like family gathering because there will be bunch of strangers dining, too. Not that they are bad idea.. I'd prefer having my family gathering on Easter's Day at someone's home or at my house.  This time Easter will be held at my house.

We will be having ham as usual. I am not quite sure about the side dishes.. Will work on that.  But for the dessert part, I am going to make Lemon dessert. Will be posting pictures on the day of making and baking. However, I found an amazing recipe of cupcake called Raspberry  Easter Egg Cupcakes by Krissy's Creations via Pinterest. Never getting tired of Pinterest. Anyway, I have included her website link for you to access her for the recipe.

I cannot wait to make them and definitely will post pictures.  I hope they look pretty just like the picture above. :)


Happy Easter to you all!
