I hope you all had a lovely Easter. My first Easter in Cape Town was amazing. Well, from what I hear its usually cold or raining over the Easter weekend but instead we had a gorgeous day.
I really enjoyed making and setting up the decorations for Easter, it doesn't take up a lot of time especially when you're having fun with it. Keep it simple and effective with a colour that pops and it works! It's always nice to make the day extra special...
When cooking a big lunch like this I always refer to Jamie Oliver! I used his recipe for the Best Roast Leg of Lamb it was easy to follow and truly delicious. You just have to try it. It also comes with a recipe for a SUPER easy mint sauce too. I add some carrots as Mr Oliver suggests, just perfect.. The lamb was not alone, it was accompanied by a smoked gammon, tomato, mozzarella and pesto salad, courgette bake and a green salad made by my wonderful family and friends. It's always nice to get everyone involved!

I made these yummy carrots the kids will definitely not refuse to eat... two in one! A cute snack and it adds to the decoration! I found these on Pinterest. I also tried the nests on a spoon. The picture on Pinterest looked delish so I gave them a try!! Definitely not as easy as it looks and if you ever try these use deep spoons for the shape, my spoons were too shallow so the chocolate didn't hold on the spoon nicely. Still they were delicious. As a rule... Always use good chocolate.. (That should never fail!)
How did you spend your Easter, let me know your great ideas and recipes, I would love to hear from you.
