And they were AMAZING!! A complete hit, and I'd wished I'd doubled the recipe. Even my handsome, picky 24 yr old brother tried one, exclaimed how fabulous it was, then when he found out what it WAS (dates, eeks!) thanked me for not telling him first what was wrapped within that bacon. I will be making this many more times- thank you for linking to this!! I ventured bravely forward =) and tried the bacon wrapped dates on Easter … took them to grandma’s dinner, no less.

Exactly the same recipe, only replacing the dates with prunes. They are soooo good. The bacon wrapped dates recipe makes me think of one of my favorite appitizers – Bacon wrapped prunes.

Her Easter table was splendid, full of homemade pies and Italian specialties. It's really a shame how unhealthy most of it was, but it was made with love and tradition and I miss it terribly.

Saturday afternoon we're getting together w/my family and bbqing pork chops & chicken. I"m going to make the Pioneer Woman's turnip augratin since turnips are still coming in around here and it's a good potato substitute. Sunday I'm going to make low-carb crab cakes (which are a decadent treat!) that I will top with crawfish ettouffee. I"m not sure what sides we'll have since we have a pick up at the CSA on Saturday. Probably some sort of lettuce, maybe beets, maybe green peas?? Who knows. :) On Monday we'll be having egg salad to use up the many boiled eggs we're dying Saturday. :) Happy Easter We’re having two Easter celebrations.

Sarah, I would LOVE to have your recipe for the potatoes! My family is visiting and I'm always expected to make sausage gravy and biscuits. Kimi, I will be trying your soaked biscuit recipe. Can't wait. Happy Easter! We’re also having a ham, scalloped potatoes, roasted asparagus, deviled eggs and dinner rolls. Sarah, I would LOVE to have your recipe for the potatoes!

We're doing ham with scallopped potatoes (I make mine by scratch with a gruyere cheese sauce and caramelized onions), roasted asparagus and a baby spinach salad with strawberries, pecans and a balsamic vinaigrette - and several cranks of fresh black pepper (strawberries and pepper do wonders together in a salad, I don't know why!). Yum! We are also doing a simple brunch with whole grain bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, red onion, etc. and a big batch of scrambled eggs. The bagels aren't our usual fare, but they are a special treat in my house. Happy Easter! Best, Sarah Yum!
