Easter is only a few sleeps away and my little bunnies are beyond excited. We have decorated the house with a few little {and very adorable} easter decorations, including this sweet little bunny. And Miss G. has her Easter basket all ready for our Easter egg hunt.

lamb and feta couscous salad
This gigantic sumac lamb and feta couscous salad was a weekend creation made to serve a group of gorgeous friends coming over for lunch.

Usually when making a batch of fritters or patties there is always the labour intensive frying process that requires complete attention and usually at least 30 minutes of work. Well, to simplify tonight's dinner I opted to bake our patties instead and I am ...
