Easter in Portland, Oregon!

{my primrose brownie bites}
I had the pleasure of jetting off solo from New York to Portland, Oregon to spend part of Spring Break and Easter with my sister S and her family. They just purchased a gorgeous new home, and our Easter feast included these brownie bites I made topped with marshmallow fondant flowers.

Homemade marshmallow fondant is so easy to make- and molding it reminds me of playing with Play-doh. It tastes so much better than commercial fondant!

A nice way to spend Easter morning making the little flowers. I was inspired by the colors of Spring primroses.  Husband took my kids down to his parents in Westchester county, New York and we kept in touch everyday by phone. The big excitement was their Easter egg hunt where crows did much of the hunting. (Lesson: Don't hide eggs too early)



{too cute!}
Our Portland egg hunt went much better. It was a huge Saturday gathering for all the kids in the Forest Heights neighborhood. Here's my Nephew J hunting eggs...

{got one!}
...and little Nephew B! I'll post more Portland photos as the week goes on.

How did you spend the holiday?
