Although the basket I assembled for my family (I've done this for a few years now ... one or two things for each adult family member) contained some lackluster offerings. Nanny got fragranced shoe inserts, Dennis got travel toothbrushes, etc. Poor Aaron - are we trying to tell him something with these bathroom inspired gifts?
Hard to transition from that bit of info to our great Easter Brunch, but I will! While the Schnittkers acted like tourists at Disney on Saturday, Grammy was working her fingers to the bone getting all of the food ready for our awesome Easter meal. Once again, we did "Make-your-own-Omelettes" - the ones in the bags. If you don't know about this, ask me for the recipe - it's easier to understand than these quickie directions.Grab a quart-size Ziploc bag (we label ours with a Sharpie marker) and add two cracked eggs ... 
Then choose your favorite omelette ingredients ... 
Then choose your favorite omelette ingredients ... Stop filling your bag for a moment while you hug your grandmother ... 
After you zip the bag (removing any access air), massage the bag really well ... mixing it all up!
Enjoy your mimosa while your bag joins everyone elses in the big stockpot of boiling water. This is where I'm fuzzy on the directions ... I can't remember how long they cook, etc. But, let me tell you - they come out SO good (just open the bag and voila! your omelette slides onto your plate). It's super easy!
Now, you may have been wondering what that scrumptious looking pastry was in a previous picture. Well, that's Almond Puff - a Carricato family favorite, that only gets made (by mom ... following the strictest recipe) for holidays. Go ahead Aaron - post away! We KNOW you're still ticked that mom made Almond Puff for a non-Aaron condoned (or attended) family event a few years back. He's STILL holding a grudge about that!
We had a GREAT Easter morning in Aaron's awesome new apartment. 
I couldn't get a good shot of his new digs because the sun was so bright as it shone through his HUGE floor to ceiling windows. He lives in an old church that was converted to studio apartments. So cool. As you can see, the bedroom part of the apartment is comfortable. As Aaron and Tyler enjoyed some of their Easter goodies, Grandan fell into an Almond Puff-induced coma! Thanks for hosting us Aaron.
