Frog Eye Salad






Right off the bat - No of course it isn't real frog eyes in this salad. It is Acini de Pepe, a very small pasta, similar in size to tapioca pearls. They are a little bit more firm than tapioca pearls.

A lot of the recipes I saw online made a fruit juice & flour sauce over the stove top. I went a slightly different route but I thought the results were delicious. Please note that you will need to plan ahead for this as it needs to chill overnight before serving. Enjoy!

Notes: If you would prefer to use Instant vanilla pudding, you can try using the method at Simply Delish, which is to add in a full cup of reserved pineapple / mandarin orange juices. If I were to use instant vanilla pudding, I would mix it up in a separate bowl with the fruit juices to make sure that it is mixed completely, then add it as directed.

Baked Ham with Pineapple Raisin Sauce




I spotted this intriguing recipe for a spicy Pineapple Raisin Sauce over at Food.com and had to try it out with a baked ham. A little bit sweet from the brown sugar and pineapple and a little bit tangy from the honey Dijon Mustard. Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned will do in a pinch. Enjoy!

If you don't keep shallots on hand, fear not, and substitute regular onions instead. Enjoy!

Baked Ham with Spiced Cherry Sauce





This Easter I wanted to try out a few new sauces to go alongside the traditional baked ham we serve. I found this easy recipe over at ChinDeep. My only change was the halve the amount of cinnamon and cloves, as I found the spices overwhelmed the cherry flavor. Enjoy!

Coconut Orange Cake







I went totally picture crazy with this cake, but as you can see, it was so adorable that I couldn't help myself. It tastes as good at it looks. A moist orange and coconut cake is frosted with even more orange and coconut. It is divine. Many thanks to Sweet Tea and Cornbread for this delicious recipe. This would be a perfect dessert for Easter. Enjoy!
