I'm not sure if I'll be able to post this year's eggs before Easter, but to get you in the mood, here are a few favorites from last year's festivities! 
I'm also taking some Easter cookies to accompany our pizza and beer. I made them last night -- they look so cheery! 
I wish you could join me for tea! 
Here's the quick recipe!Seasonal Shortbreads
Cream 2 sticks of butter and 1/2 c. sugar
Add 1/4 t. salt
Add 2 c. flour
(I added a bit of vanilla and some lemon too; you could use peppermint, others.)
Put as balls on cookie sheet (I use a silpat on mine) and gently press down.
Bake 300 for 15-17 minutes.
To decorate -- I used a thin lemon juice/powdered sugar glaze and topped some with coconut and jelly beans to look like little nests; others were decorated with sugar and jelly beans. You could dip in chocolate or skip a glaze altogether and put on sugar before baking, or flavor with another extract. Cool overnight till glaze hardens. Then make another batch because they really are addictive!

The eggs are gorgeous and the cookies look so yummy. I wish I could reach into the screen and snatch a couple!! Have fun and Happy Easter.

Those look yummy, but so does our wild caught fresh halibut and strawberries and greens salad. Hope you are doing well by now.
I love shortbread. I think I'll try these. How pretty too.
