Easter Weekend Snapshots


There is nothing better than a long weekend full of sunshine and long walks. Although my weekend was a bit hectic with last minute Coachella planning and packing, as well as hosting Easter dinner, we still managed to enjoy ourselves. Three day weekends really allow you to fit so much in! 

We spent most of Sunday preparing our Easter dinner and dessert. We made lamb and roasted vegetables, and I made (my first) coconut cake. I've never made a cake before so I was a bit nervous, but was pretty happy with the result. I used this recipe which was pretty easy, however I recommend not using so much almond extract or just replacing it with coconut extract instead. The almond has a very intense flavor that I didn't love. I'm looking forward to more cakes in my future, I think a white chocolate one will be next! 

Happy Monday!
