Felt Easter Cookies

Say hello to my little friends!

In my continued quest to make a fabulous Easter basket, I came up with these little felt Easter “cookies”. They’re sure to be a fun addition to our ever growing felt food collection.

What you will need:

- Polyester Fiberfill

- Felt

- Embroidery Floss & Needle

- Fabric Glue

- Ric Rac Ribbon

- Black beads (for eyes & nose)

Download the templates here

1. Layer two pieces of felt and cut out the bunny & egg
2. Glue the ric rac ribbon to 1 piece of the egg. Set aside to dry.
3. Sew on the beads to create the eyes and nose
4. Put the matching pieces together and using a blanket stitch, sew around the edges leaving an opening for stuffing
5. Stuff your cookies with fiberfill, then sew the opening closed

Don’t worry you still have plenty of time to make these for Easter. They are super easy to make, so you can whip up several in no time.

Note to self...Never leave a curious 2 year old alone with a bag of fiberfill :o)

Avocado Pesto Stuffed Tomatoes

A great light and tasty cherry tomato appetizer! Sure to be a huge hit at your next party!

Ingredients:

30 cherry tomatoes

1/2 medium avocado, pitted, peeled, and cut up

2 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 Tbsp. homemade or purchased basil pesto

1 tsp. lemon juice

Snipped fresh basil (optional)

Directions:

1. Cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato. (If desired, cut a thin slice from bottoms of tomatoes so they stand upright.) With a small spoon or small lemon baller carefully hollow out the tomatoes. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Invert tomatoes on the towels. Let stand 30 minutes to drain.

2. Meanwhile, for filling, in a food processor bowl combine avocado, cream cheese, pesto, and lemon juice. Cover; process until smooth. Spoon filling into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round or open star tip.

3. Place tomatoes, open sides up, on a serving platter. Pipe filling into the tomato cups.

Serve immediately or cover loosely and refrigerate up to 4 hours before serving. Sprinkle with snipped basil before serving.

Serves: 30
