Easter Weekend (Recipes)

On Easter Sunday I tried three new recipes and all three of them were delicious!

I made two kinds of rolls (click on the names to be taken to the recipes) - Pillow Soft Dinner Rolls and Pull-Apart Orange Rolls. The Orange rolls are a new favorite. I love how the dough is folded over and over and then cut and stuffed into muffin tins. They were so tasty warm and even better the next morning for breakfast. I made them again yesterday and they are definitely a keeper. I have a ton left over, so if you stop by tomorrow, ask for some orange rolls to try.


For dessert, I knew I wanted to make something with strawberries as they are gorgeous this time of year. I decided on a trifle with layers of pound cake, vanilla pastry cream, cut strawberries and whipped cream. I did not add any sugar to the strawberries and the pound cake made a great layer because it did not get soggy at all. This is a beautiful summer dessert and can be made a day ahead.
