How was everyone’s Easter Sunday?
Are you coming out of your chocolate coma yet?? 
(Thanks, aimee, for alerting me to the fact that even non-Christians can celebrate Easter)

Chocolate-Covered Easter, Part 1:
Into the depths of the Easter Basket… and a Chocolate-Covered brekkie
Not much has changed in two years.
I’m still in front of the fireplace, and I’m still wearing pink.
Funny, ‘cause I’m usually a blue or green girl.
.
Something else that hasn’t changed:
I still get an Easter basket! Hey, I’m not the only one. Many of my friends still get them too.
Yes, we might be a little old for this… but do you hear me complaining? Nope, didn’t think so 
.
Easter-Basket Yumminess:
Coconut Butter, blood orange, stickers, Itunes card, box of chocolate-mint Wild Bars, and sleep mask
…Oh, and a cute koosh critter my mom found in a box of old toys.
Does anyone else remember those things? Little sister and I had so many!
.
Chocolate-Covered Brekkie, post-run:
A certain purple guest wanted to join me for my feast. I let him watch, but he wasn’t allowed any food. Poor guy.
Juicy organic strawberries (deal of the year: $2.99 for a huge box!!), raw pistachios, & Extra-Creamy breakfast pudding
And a close-up:
Sniff sniff. Those pistachios look mighty tasty.
I wonder if Katie would notice if I took a bite of her creamy Bulgur Pudding…
.
Question of the Day:
What was the highlight of your Easter (or your weekend)?
One of my highlights was that it was actually warm this Easter! Easters past have seen me change into fleece pj pants right after church!

I loved that it was warm here this Easter, too! And it was gorgeous – no rain or clouds!
I love the Koosh bunny making his way into the food pics!
I had a great Easter weekend cooking with my mom and grandma!
Jealous of your Easter Basket! Once I had my baby, first grandchild on both sides, she started getting all the goodies! I can’t complain though cause she’s awful cute.
I love pistachio’s but haven’t had them for so long! Those strawberries look lovely, too!
The Highlight of my Easter weekend was meeting my uncle’s “new” girlfriend – they’ve been dating for 18 months and the family just met her! She’s lovely, and I’m so happy for him!
Katie dear, you look so beautiful in that dress. Like a model
.
Happy Easter!
I loved the chocolate. That was my favorite part, of course!
What an adorable chicky bucket! I am jealous that the Easter bunny brought you coconut butter. I just got TONS of chocolate.
katiiie have you seen “what a girl wants?” you look like the girl in that movie. so pretty and princessy
. i wore pink for easter too. so lovely.
xoxo
You look so pretty!!
I still get an Easter basket too, but instead of jelly beans, now I get things like cliff bars, kitchen towels, and oranges. And it still makes me equally as happy and excited!!
Hahaha oh the koosh guy is too cute! I had Koosh balls, but never the critters. I guess I was too old by the time they came out?
Vegangal,
.
As usual, you are way too sweet
And LOL that movie was on tv on Easter night!!
What a nice Easter! And great Eater basket too.
We drove (10 hours each way!) to visit my husband’s grandmother for the weekend. She made us lots of Polish foods like perogies, borscht, cabbage rolls, etc. We had a little Easter egg hunt (with vegan chocolate eggs), and went to the cutest and prettiest little church. It was warm and sunny too. A great weekend!
Awesome Easter basket! I didn’t get one this year, but hubby gave me some dark chocolate “eggs” and bunny ears from a local chocolatier. I never say no to chocolate!
Ha, I love those little dot sticker things. I use them in my scrapbooks all the time!
What a cute easter basket from your mom! I am jealous of your warm weather – it was quite chilly/rainy on the weekend here!
I had a great Easter too. How can it not be great when chocolate is present?
I still received an Easter basket until I had kids, no joke! Now I’m the one handing out the basket.
.
Oops, I mean “helping the Easter bunny” make the baskets
Definitely the warm weather!
Yay for Easter baskets!!! I think this year was the first year that I didn’t get one. Boo. But yours is awesome! Coconut Butter – the Easter bunny knows you well
I also loved that we had awesome weather for Easter! Usually it’s cold and rainy!
Aw CCK, you look beautiful!
You know what would be in MY Easter basket???
The koosh! I used to have so many:)
I loved being able to spend time with my fam:)
Dan213,
Beer, perhaps?
Yum yum! That bunny is smart. I’d want some of that yumminess too
. I love salted pistachios, but don’t think I’ve ever had plain. They look so green!
you look lovely!! what a great easter basket.
You look stunning in your pink Easter dress. I still get an Easter basket too, only this year my gifts were in the refrigerator at my parents’ house instead of in a basket. They ordered me a variety of vegan cheeses (lots of Daiya!) and some m0re Soy Curls.
Oh, and I meant to tell ya … I emailed Artisana and asked for samples and how I could get the products into my Whole Foods! They’re sending me samples to review on my blog. Yea!
Well my daughter is 15 and I cannot imagine NOT giving her an Easter basket – so who knows how long it will last!!! You may be able to ride it for quite awhile!
I was going to say YOU. But beer works too!
Katie you are so so pretty
And your basket is so fun too – who cares if were not of “age” anymore. I know I will still want a easter basket when im 30!
Amazing Easter Basket, Katie!
I´m jealous
Have a wonderful week!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
So pretty!!!! Both you and your breakfast
Koosh! So awesome
And I’m a huge fan of blood oranges – makes peeling them worth it to me!
Love your dress!!
xoxo

Let me know when your mom comes across the troll dolls (because everyone knows that where there is a koosh, a troll cannot be far away!).
Ah, toys of the ’90′s…
It was warm here in Nashville as well, and usually it’s pretty cold on Easter. So, it was a lovely day, and the highlight was hanging out with Polly!
So tried to get CD to carry on my family’s Easter basket tradition, but he didn’t really get it. I used to put a bakset together for him and hide it, but I gave up this year. Sad.
Hehe, I still get an Easter basket too:)
Highlight of my weekend=getting free hot cross buns at a local bakery!
I wish I got coconut butter in my Easter basket! Your parents must know you so well
This was the first year that I didn’t get a basket. Oh well, I think I’ll make it.
so glad you had a great day, way to rock the pink dress, I should call you Miss AMerica
You are NEVER too old for an Easter Basket!! Very pretty dress lady xx
