Are you having any Easter indulgents? If so what?

I ate a stuffed Greek pepper half which had a little rice if that counts as an indulgence, lol. Still within carb goals for the day!0

Ham, prime rib, asparagus, salad, banana cream pie or my homemade cheesecake (not sure yet)

I start by sautéing onions in lots of butter, then add the rice and fry it a bit, coating each grain in butter. Add my own homemade chicken broth, rich in flavour, saffron and salt and pepper. I infuse the broth in saffron so that it dissolves into the broth. It's the world's most expensive spice, so I don't want it to be in just one clump in the pot! I finish it with more butter after it's cooked. It goes well with the Easter ham and devilled eggs and salad.
After Easter.... No starch at all ! But I will enjoy it tomorrow. Funny how the simplest foods are treats now. Rice isn't something I would have considered to be a junk food in the past. But now it is only a very occasional treat.
Never tried or seen saffron and that sounds amazing! Off to look up saffron now haha. Love trying new things... Wonder what else (besides rice) it will be good with??

I want some lamb, but that will have to be delayed until the ground beef thing is over. I have no idea what is being prepared at my inlaws' house.0

Love the look of the lamb. Inspiring!!!0

We are doing lamb, too. Asparagus, salad and sweet potato. I'll eat just an ounce or two of the sweet potato. Will try to resist the lime coconut cake that my SiL asked me to make. Toasted coconut and whipped cream are ok but the cake part is a problem.0

For dinner, ham, asparagus w/hollandaise sauce, and kids are having mashed potatoes, but we're having garlic/cauliflower mash. Happy holiday weekend all!
You had me at deviled eggs but sweet and spicy??? Please share recipe lol
Haha, it didn't turn out! I forgot the candied bacon
and it turned out too ketchupy!
I was trying to follow it from our favorite restaurant, Yard House. I just bought a sweet chili sauce and spicy ketchup and did the yolks the usual way with mayo, dijon and vinegar, salt/pepper. We're going to try different today.

Man PaleoinScottland! That looks to die for!0 -
Here's what my plate looked like.
I added a bit of turmeric to the rice to make it more yellow. My youngest daughter calls it " yellow rice, and why don't we have it more often"?
I'm sure that my weight will go up with the extra starch, veggies and sugar I ate, but it was a good dinner and I enjoyed it!0 -
Yummy! ^^^^0
