Happy Easter!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter.  Ben and I enjoyed our Easter in Dubai.  We don't have any Easter baskets, so I decided to hide some candy and little presents around the apartment.  So Ben had to hunt for his presents. We went out to the Lime Tree Cafe in Jumeirah.  The Lime Tree Cafe seems to be pretty famous here. I have read about it in all the tourism guides and multiple websites.  The food was wonderful!  They mainly have egg dishes, sandwiches, and salads.  They are especially famous for their carrot cake.  So after enjoying eggs florentine and a steak and gorgonzola sandwich, we took a piece of carrot cake home to have for dessert.

Just for fun, we colored some eggs.  We are not the most artistic people, apparently.




Then I made some varieties of egg salad with homemade mayonnaise.

Plain egg salad with paprika, egg salad with sweet pickles, egg salad with yogurt and dill


For dinner I made butternut squash risotto, green bean casserole with homemade cream of mushroom soup, and Australian tenderloin.  Ben said it was the best meal we have had here!

I will post the recipes at another time, but for now it is time to go to bed.  Happy Easter everybody!
