Easter: Rosie’s Birthday and Pickled Eggs

Happy Birthday, Rosie!

It’s Rosie’s 2nd birthday today. I can’t believe Rosie’s the same age that Lizzie was when we brought her home from the hospital. She still seems like such a baby, and Lizzie seemed liked such a big girl back then.

What to do for a child on her birthday when she’s on a restricted diet? A gelatin “cake”! Here it is. Both girls loved it.

Pickled Eggs

After the cake, we decided to crack open our first jar of pickled eggs. This year, we managed to wait 24 hours. Last year, we couldn’t stand it and tried them on the first day. They turned out great.

For me, it wouldn’t be Easter without pickled eggs and beet and horseradish relish. I am so happy to live in Poland where I can learn authentic Polish Easter recipes from expert Polish cooks, such as from Babcia!

One jar down, another one to go!
