Happy Easter!!!


It's Easter and that means I have an excellent excuse to spend a whole day in the kitchen.

Today's menu:
4 Berry Pie -- homemade, I can't disclose my secrets... pie is my backup career (seriously)
Roast loin of pork crusted in salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary ala Tedward
Gravy from the pork's onion bed

Homemade Lemonade from French Food at Home--Cooking Channel
AND these tasty lil apps: Dijon Prosciutto Asparagus Wraps (needs a shorter name!)

Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:
  1. Dijon mustard
  2. Pillsbury Crescent "Big and Flaky" Rolls
  3. Prosciutto (10 slices)
  4. Asparagus (20 pieces)

How to make pieces of heaven:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degree.
  2. Roll out crescent shapes one at a time.
  3. Spread a thin to medium layer of dijon mustard on the crescent.
4. Now apply a piece of prosciutto (rip the meat so that it doesn't go "outside the lines" of the piece of dough.
5. Cut two asparagus in half and add to the thicker end of the crescent + prosciutto piece. Roll from the thinker end to the skinny end . Wrap extra dough around where necessary. (Some meat and asparagus will be visible.)
6. Assemble and line up on baking sheet. Cook at the temperature the crescent roll package suggests. (Mine cooked in 12 minutes at 350 degrees).

Take them out of the oven and enjoy!
And after much anticipation, the pie was a success too!
