Easter Lunch

Published On 4/25/2011 By Anonymous

Easter Sunday is another important event that Christians celebrate. It is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It also marks the end of the Lenten season, with means end of fasting and abstinence. A perfect time to have another lunch feast! :p

Our Easter Lunch

Jaoey and Daddy

First on the table was Daddy's Chicken and Mushroom Penne. My dad used cream of chicken and added in Pechay Baguio strips, mushrooms, and chunks of chicken breasts. It's not like the usual penne pasta dish with cream and cheese, but grated cheese may also be added in for a more delectable treat.

Meat is a no-no during the Lenten season (or at least every Fridays), and I guess everyone was craving for it so my dad cooked this sinful Crispy Pata. Click HERE for the recipe. :p

He also cooked one of my favorites, the cream dory fillet with tofu in sweet and sour sauce. The tofu and breaded fish fillet were fried first and then the sweet and sour sauce (with mushrooms, pineapples, and onions) was added in. Carrot strips and chopped spring onions were also used for garnishing. :)

I guess everyone was happy that the fasting period, especially the abstinence from meat, is over. Except for me, of course, because I was advised by my doctor to have a vegetarian diet. I wasn't able to try out the Crispy Pata, Cream Dory, and Chicken, yes, but I still enjoyed my Easter plate! :)
