Thanks so much to everyone who prayed for my husband’s job situation. We got some great news yesterday. He got a very firm job offer, and will hopefully start a new job the day after Easter! The hours aren’t the greatest, but the pay is comparable to his previous salary, and we will continue to be able to juggle our hours so that I can keep my part time job without needing any daycare. Most importantly, we feel that it is in a field where he is being called to use the gifts God has blessed him with to serve others. Thanks again for all the prayers!
For the Love of Laundry

oh praise heaven, Claire, i’m so happy for you!!!
what does he do again?
what a blessed Easter indeed!
Praise God!
Will continue to pray you thru the transition time. Be kind to yourselves….give each other a month before you pass judgment on what’s working/not working out. It can be a relief but also a strain… (Learned thru recent experience, ahem!) ![]()
Very happy for you both, Claire.
I am interested in knowing what you all are fixing for Easter dinner, partly because I like to see what others are doing, and partly to get ideas myself. I never know what to fix because my husband won’t eat ham or lamb, or many of the spring-ish side dishes that are popular. He wants me to fix turkey, but that is a lot of work and since we had that for Thanksgiving and Christmas I would like to do something different.
We live eleven hours away from our family, so it’s just us and our two children. We’ve never had the traditional big meal on Easter. So we fix what we like. Easter lunch for us is always grilled steak, baked potatoes, veggies, and salad. Nontraditional, I know, but we love it!
Last year we tried Beef Wellington. It was good but more work than a turkey. My friend does Easter brunch with her large family. They eat between 1-3pm and have chicken salad, quiche, maybe roast beef or a small turkey breast, lots of fruit and a green salad. Light and easy foods seem very yummy on a beautiful warm spring day. Then there are still plenty of leftovers to munch on in the evening, not to mention all the treats from the easter baskets:)
Why don’t you get a boneless turkey breast? That is just as easy to cook as a roast beef. My neighborhood market sells “turkey london broil” which is really easy. Just marinate and grill. My other favorite thing to do with that is brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs de province. Bake for about a half hour and it’s done!!! Yummy, easy and a little bit fancy!
I was going to suggest boneless turkey breast too. Very easy, makes the man happy. I’m trying a new “pineapple casserole.” Pineapple chunks, crackers, cheese….sounds unusual.
