Celebrate Spring & Rebirth

Pashka

2 1/2 Lbs. Small Curd Cottage Cheese
1 1/4 Cups Sugar
3/4 Cup Chopped Almonds or Pecans
3/4 Cup Chopped Peaches
1/2 Cup Maraschino Cherries or
Dried Cherries
1 1/4 tsp. Vanilla
2 Sticks Butter, Melted
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Cups Evaporated Milk or Cream
2 Eggs

Mix all ingredients except the cottage cheese in a large pan over low heat until it thickens to the consistency of pudding. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Mix in the cottage cheese and beat well for about 3 minutes. Place in a cake pan and chill over night. Decorate the cake with candied eggs, flowers, chocolates, or other spring delicacies. Keep refrigerated.


Celebrate the Spring pinks and blues, and yellows and greens, and reds, you get the idea...celebrate the shades of Spring.  Fill a twisted vine basket with colored eggs and decorative grasses.  Whip up cupcake icing using spring colors.  Gather branches and hang Easter eggs on colored ribbons and place in a funky or antique vase.

Celebrate rebirth and renewal and long sunny days.  
Celebrate the changing of the seasons. 
Plant tender young herbs, flowers or vegetables.
Refresh your home with a good spring cleaning.....:)
Cook local fresh vegetables.
Make a big bowl of Ambrosia Fruit Salad.  Yummmm..
Walk in the woods or sit beside a lake and breathe the spring air.

Let go of the old and useless and embrace the new season.  Give it a whirl girlzzzzzzzzz.

Jump into Spring with both feet and have some fun.  Happy, Happy, Happy!
