Well, I’m officially exhausted. We had quite the busy day between setting up for our gathering and entertaining our guests. We started early this morning by setting up the backyard.
Then we had to tidy up the house , finishing prepping the side dishes and pick up the catered pork, baked beans and such for our “Easter BBQ.” It was quite the feast! We didn’t make all of the food, as each family brought a dish to share. We made a delicious pasta salad though, one of my very favorite dishes, using delicious, crisp veggies and basil from our backyard.
We also had a sweet, creamy broccoli salad with red onion, raisins, and bacon (YUM!),
some yummy potato salad,
and delicious fresh fruit,
all to go along with the pulled pork, baked beans and rolls.
I had a little taste of everything and it was all delicious. It was a long day but any day spent lounging in the backyard is a good day in my book.
I’m ready to crash but unfortunately I must hit the books and get ready to return to Gainesville tomorrow morning. Two weeks and I’m home free. I can’t wait to be done!!
Hope you had a happy day!

2 weeks?!! Ahh, 4 more for me!
That is the prettiest display of food I have ever seen!! Your family definitely knows how to put an easter brunch together!
Ahhh I cannot wait either! The bulk of my work is done by Saturday! I love the end of semesters :)!!!
Wow – beautiful weather, and beautiful food! I’ve never had an Easter where it was warm enough to be outside without a jacket. It’s a whole different ball game up north. :)
What a lovely set-up! Hope you had a great time =)
Everything looks so pretty!! What a fun Easter day!
Would you mind sharing the recipe for that pasta salad? It looks so good!
Happy Easter!
Heather,
Go ahead and send me an email to remind me and I can send it your way. It is from a cookbook so I can’t publish it.
GORGEOUS set-up! I’d love a back yard that looks like that! Is there any way I could get the broccoli salad recipe? The fiance and I love salads like that, but I have no recipe!
Delicious barbecue! That broccoli salad looked wonderful! Happy Easter!
Wow – looks fabulous. Happy Easter.
