Easter bunny

I never realized before becoming a mom that every holiday has its candy. Just didn't think about it. But here we are at Easter and we have Cadbury eggs (love them), jelly beans, cadbury creme eggs, peeps, and chocolate. There is enough to put V into a sugar overload for a week. So I am trying to temper the sugar with nutritious meals. This week I did a slow cooker chicken with bottled Italian dressing and spinach. Low fat Newman's Italian is ok on the healthy scale butinach is amazing. It was surprisingly good and the meat didn't dry out. C liked it. S liked it. V had a nervous breakdown about eating it but ended up thinking it was not as bad as first imagined. I also did a breakfast for dinner with homemade bread French toast. There is nothing like homemade bread and this recipe was Good. Easy. And made two loaves. I am going to try another recipe out of the five minutes a day bread book when we get back from visiting Mimi.
