I have made several tasty things to eat over the course of the last few weeks. A few of them are:

• Creamy macaroni and cheese
• No-Knead bread with lemon and rosemary
• Wontons
• Dipping sauce for wontons, if they are panfried and served more as potstickers

Our Easter meal was comprised of:

• Marmalade glazed ham
• Buttermilk biscuits
• Scalloped potatoes
• Roasted asparagus
• Ricotta cake
• Shaved fennel salad with arugula and a meyer lemon vinaigrette
• two beautiful salads my mom made

Looking back....we relied too heavily on Martha, perhaps, but I'm saving these recipes because everything was beautiful and delicious and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Also, there was some Scharffenberger champagne involved. That helped.

Right, I also made the lemon-rosemary bread for Easter. We've been eating that bread almost constantly since we tried the recipe a couple weeks ago. I was going to whip up another batch of it today, but the day got away from me...tomorrow I'll try again.
