Who out there has packed on a few extra pounds these past few weeks? I stepped on the scale yesterday and saw that I had gained three pounds. A W E S O M E. I immediately told myself I would do better. Eat less and not pick up my fork as much.
And then the HH and I went on a 5 mile walk and when we got back home I was hungry and craving something sweet so I made a mixed berry pie. And then I had a slice. And then remembered what I had told myself earlier in the morning and was like… tomorrow. Tomorrow I will start eating better. But then I was like… wait a minute, THE PIE, who is going to eat the berry pie if I don’t?
So then it was okay, after the pie is gone {I can usually polish off an entire pie in 3 days}. But by then it will be Easter, and this year we were planning to go all out with the side dishes and so now that whole put my fork down and eat less thing has been pushed back until Monday, April 13th. 
Life. Sometimes you just have to throw you arms up in the air and eat everything in sight. And sometimes you’ve got to button your pants. It’s a fine line to navigate people… a fine line.
Anywho, I don’t know what you have on hand, or plan on making this weekend, but in case you need some ideas, here is a list of 12 of my favorite side dish, dessert, and leftover recipes that would be perfect if you are serving ham this Easter.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone,
