Do you serve the same thing for Easter Brunch every year? While most of us have traditions that we like to stick to, I usually like to try something new as well. I knew that Panettone was an Italian tradition at the Christmas holiday but I didn’t know they had a version to share at Easter too. This makes me really happy as I am somewhat obsessed with Panettone. Nudo makes a Colomba Cake for Easter that is available online. Like their other products, their packaging is gorgeous! It arrives like a gift and would be perfect to take with you if celebrating Easter at someone else’s home.
This cross between bread and cake is so yummy! It is light and airy with hints of citrus fruit and the crunch of nuts. This Easter cake is made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and is perfect for brunches during spring.
Those white “sprinkles” are made of sugar and the cake is shaped like a dove (although I wouldn’t have made that connection on my own) to symbolize peace and renewal for spring.
Nudo’s Colomba Cake is a limited edition and is $25. Order now so it arrives in time!
This cake is rather impressive to look at. It is sure to get the crowd talking when you debut it at Easter brunch.
They suggest serving it at the end of the meal but I say put it out for the guests to enjoy all morning. But be warned, it is totally addicting!!

I like crafting but I also like to keep things simple, this St. Patrick’s Day topper project was easy and fun. Aside from baking the cake it took only minutes to put this together which is perfect when adding in those last minute touches prior to guest arrivals.

I’m always afraid to decorate my house for the holidays because I don’t want it to look garish. Check out my post on

Each season is based on a new country and Lily’s adventures there. The hang tag tells the story of the design and the details are insanely good. The graphics are cute without being too cutesy and I love that it introduces world travel and life elsewhere that kids aren’t usually shown.
The colors are always perfection and the website is a wonderful world that I would happily let my kids peruse and learn from. 
Christmas is the time of year where old and new traditions come together, and more often than not, they involve food. As an adult it can be tricky to find the balance between what used to be and what is now. It is important to value family traditions from the past but also create new ones so that everyone has a happy holiday.
Christmas day is where I get to create my own food traditions. My parents come over Christmas morning and we enjoy a really yummy breakfast. Last year we made homemade donuts but the kids didn’t like them enough to make them this year. This year we plan to try out an overnight french toast recipe. Maybe that will stick. Either way, it is certainly fun to try out new things. One recipe I will make every year is Wine Cake (above – recipe link in
