The Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Easter Bunny and I had a great time enjoying a vegetarian Easter dinner!
Complete with Virginia Roll ‘Easter eggs’!
After showering and getting dolled up, Matt and I packed up the Envitote, grabbed an apple and headed out the door.
Need a way to eat an apple and PB on the go? Take a bite first and fill it up! Preferably with Nuttzo!
We arrived at Emily + Casey’s to find their patio doors wide open and flowers everywhere!
Gals outside!
Gals inside!
We made a few mocktails with POM, club soda and lime for the group
And broke out the appetizer – my cilantro pistachio bean dip (recipe in the previous post’s comments) and some whole wheat baguette crostini that Matt made
Nothin’ like hanging out with food bloggers!!
I munched on a few of these
The yellow dog wanted to play with Mr. Easter Bunny 
Matt and I were in charge of making swiss chard + asparagus risotto 
Simply made with veggie broth, thyme, asparagus, chard and Arborio rice.
Emily made a millet + corn + tomato salad! Love millet.
And the main event was Emily‘s split pea soup!!
The Bunny hopped on over to the dinner table
I do feel bad for eating his head…
I also had a smallish bowl of soup, and tastes of all the rest. Split an egg roll with Matt (egg roll -haha). Everything was delicious!
The show stopper of the night was Diana‘s Clean Food Fruit Tart!!
It tasted even better than it looked!!!!!!!!
The crust was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Made from teff flour, it was like a ginger cookie and graham cracker all in one. Vegan, gluten-free and healthy and fit all of our needs 
Even my mouth’s!!
[Can I just add that I just found a bunch of tart crust crumbs in my BRA!?!?]
Fun-filled night!
I’ve got a huge day tomorrow and need my beauty (and brain!) rest. I’ve ended my ability to work out in the mornings, so I’ll be back to evening workouts from now through July 1. Not too excited about having to go after work, but I am super excited about nothing between my warm bed and a delicious breakfast!
Nite!

It looks like you all had a wonderful Easter back in Charlotte. I am definitely going to look up the recpe for the tart. The dip also looks great and was just added to my recipe book.
Thanks for the tips and I fixed the comment issue on my blog.
Whoa! Crumbs in your bra!! But with the way that dessert looks, it was worth it!

Everything seems so summer-like in these pictures! Gorgeous, especially love the one of you guys on the stools taking pictures. Too cute!
I love seeing the pictures of crazy food bloggers taking pictures. I always wonder what you look like doing so
Love all those cute dresses you guys have on!
omg that split pea soup looks amazing! Def one of my favorite soups!!!
How fun! That bunny looks adorable. I swear, all these pictures must be professional!!! The lighting is perfect!
That dip looks delicious! I must try this! And I love your dress. Very adorable!
Your party food looks delicious! I feel ya on the evening workouts… I much prefer to get it out of the way in the morning… but sometimes schedules just don’t allow it. At least it isn’t forever!! BTW your NYC trip pictures are great! I used to live in the city… and it brought back so many good memories!!
Hi Kath, I enjoyed your pics today, especially the food bloggers one!
Wow! All that food looks fabulous, particularly the risotto—yummm. I was wondering if you had any advice for working out in the morning–I’m graduating from college and have to take graduate classes this summer which start at 8. I prefer working on in the AM but can’t stand the idea of having to get up before 6 every day. Do you have any advice to avoid afternoon work-out avoidance–my major weakness?? Thanks!
You say you can’t stand the thought of getting up early – but my first question is what time do you go to bed!? If you want to get up before 6, you have to go to bed before 9. There are some tips on my Q+A page too.
Very valid point. So you recommend a full 9 hours? I definitely need to try to get to bed early, but I actually won’t be able to some on some days because I will have one class running until 10 pm (tell me about it) on Mondays and Wednesdays.
I’d say 8 hours would be enough
Your dress is beautiful! Hope you had a happy Easter.
I read daily but don’t often comment. Just wanted to say thanks (from another North Carolinian albeit displaced) for all the food ideas and real, doable advice. It’s nice to read those that have been able to maintain weight loss.
Thanks!
Everything looks absolutely delicious and gorgeous! What a fun way to spend a special day — friends and food, what more do you need?
Everyone looks beautifully prepared and so healthy. Especially the fruit tart – major yum!
What a delicious looking meal! And you gals were looking pretty good too!
yummy food!
)
That picture of you two taking photos is amazing
That fruit tart looks incredible. Good luck with the start of your clinical rotation!
Awh that all looks so fun! I love all your dresses, they’re beutiful! As was the food, espec that rabbit bread, genius
What a great blogger Easter dinner! All of it is so festive, healthy, and delicious looking.
I understand your gripes about working out in the evening, at the end of the day the last thing I want to do is work out. However, I always feel so much better once I do.
Haha, I love the picture of you guys up on the stools getting your shots! Too cute
aww the dinner looked so lovely and adorable. yaya.
That is probably the healthiest easter meal I have ever seen. The baguette looks amazing. Love your dress!
All of your dresses are so cute!!
Love the bunny bread and the food looks fantastic. A vegetarian holiday dinner is lovely. I need to try it sometime!!
Jenn
so springy!!!
In the first shot, the Virginia rolls look a bit like rocket propellers attached to the Bunny… if only they’d shoot the delicious bread across the world to me!
Or propel me to this eveninng- what a wonderful night of gorgeous dresses, food, and friends. So envious, but it does make me a bit happier to think of heading home to my friends this weekend, after 4 months’ travelling!
The dessert looks HEAVENLY!!!! I love fruity desserts.
What a healthy and delicious meal!
That looks like a wonderful Easter dinner! Delish!
Haha I love the two pictures of you and Emily taking pictures together, kind of a behind the scenes action shot!
Wish we could do this again this year!
