Simple animal-free easter...almost.

We had a lovely Easter and hope all of you did also. Due to the 6 inches of snow on the ground we didn't have our regular egg hunt outside. Instead my husband and I hid a TON of treat/toy-filled eggs all over the house Saturday night and the kids went 'hunting' on Sunday morning. 3 eggs are still missing! Oops. *chuckle*

I usually 'go all out' on holidays and spend days cooking and preparing, but I decided that I wanted to keep it simple for Easter this year, so it would be less hectic for me (the cook)! I prepared a vegan seitan "ham" on Saturday and chilled it overnight so it would firm up. Then on Sunday I popped it into the oven with some pineapple and made some smashed baby red potatoes with chives, and steamed some asparagus while the ham was roasting. Ahhhh, a nice, simple Easter dinner.Please ignore the wrinkles in my tablecloth. I forgot to get it out on Saturday and iron it! And I surprised everyone with dessert this year. I usually make an adult type desert because the candy and toy filled Easter baskets are plenty fun enough for the kids, but I changed my typical Easter Cheesecake into this fun bunny cake!
It's a home made vegan carrot cake with vegan cream-cheese filling and frosting, sprinkled with toasted coconut. The marshmallow ears and cheeks are not vegan however, so they were given to our 7 year old dinner guest.
