Hot Cross Buns are a Good Friday tradition, so Clare had trouble finding a bakery that would whip up a batch for a Tuesday. It’s a sweet dough with dried fruit and frosting crosses on top. Clare’s were pretty dry.
Clare’s family always makes lamb cake for Easter. Eric and Destiny were relieved to learn that there’s no lamb meat in lamb cake. Whew! Just white cake in the shape of a lamb.
Clare has a little trouble during transport of the cake and the poor lamb lost it’s head!
What are you gonna do with all those leftover hard boiled eggs? Make potato salad and egg salad! Destiny claimed her boyfriend knows how to make the best potato salad. But apparently she didn’t know that egg salad is served as a sandwich?
Tik Tok Pasta is really good! And pretty simple to make too. It’s basically tomatoes, cheese, and pasta…what’s not to love?!
Rice Crispy Peeps are a lie. Clare does not recommend you try it as the video does it. The peeps expand in the oven, cereal falls out of the pan and it’s a mess. And the consistency of the treats as off compared to regular rice crispy treats. Fail.
Lizzo’s recipe for “Nature’s Cereal” had us divided. It’s just berries in Coconut water and you eat it like cereal. Eric and Destiny HATED the taste of coconut water. Clare thought it was totally tasty.
Irish Boxty is a potato pancake. Clare’s recipe came with a cute saying, “Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan; if you can’t make boxty, you’ll never get a man.”
Bad news for Clare because she can’t make boxty. The pancakes were too thick and raw in the middle.
Colcannon is mashed potatoes with cooked greens folded in. And lots of butter!
Colcannon is pretty good! It may be a good way to get picky eaters (Eric and Destiny) to eat their leafy greens.
