Easter Weekend

   This weekend was Easter weekend. We dyed eggs, I made pies, and Mom and I made lunch. We dyed eggs yesterday, and when we were all done, I had some leftover dye, which I decided to use to dye some Corriedale I had.

   I'm calling this one Sulley (from Monsters Inc)

   This one's just pink with glitter.

I don't have any photos of the pies I made, but I'll share the recipes I used.

For the chocolate pie, Chocolate Cream Pie II I've made this pie for every holiday for the last couple of years, I've never had a problem with the filling setting up, but this time, it was more like pudding in a crust. I'm thinking it should've been set in the fridge for a longer period.

For the coconut cream pie, Emeril Lagasee's Coconut Cream Pie My mom says she loves this pie, I've never tried it because I don't like coconut, but you should try it for yourself.

For the cherry pie I made, I used this recipe and 1 can of cherry pie filling. Pour the can of cherry pie filling into a baked 9-inch deep dish pie crust, prepare the vanilla pudding per the instructions, and pour over the cherries. Chill in fridge at least 3 hours before serving. I'm allergic to cherries, but my PawPaw, who I made this for, said it was really good. He took the whole pie home.

I hope you all have had a great Easter weekend, full of chocolate, family, and fun. I'll see you back here later this week.
