My obsession with holidays has gone too far! My daughter has April Fools in her top three! We start out breakfast with eggs (vanilla yogurt with an apricot half on top). For lunch we have our sandwiches inside out (thin breadsticks little cream cheese wrap the cheese slice around a little more cream cheese used like glue and wrap the lunch meat around it. For dinner I mix it up the meatloaf cake, spaghetti pie or you can have a milkshake for dinner too! Have fun foolin’ your friends!
Milk shake dinner
1 T vegetable oil
1 onion
1 stalk of celery chopped
1 clove mince garlic
1 bay leaf
½ t salt
6 C cauliflower florets
2 C chicken broths
½ C cream or ½ n ½
Heat oil, over medium heat fry onion celery garlic, bay leaf and salt. Stir occasionally until onion is translucent (8 minutes) stir in cauliflower water and broth bring to a boil. Reduce heat cover and simmer until cauliflower is tender (10 minutes). Let cool for awhile then discard bay leaf and blend to puree the soup until smooth. Let cool completely (I put it in fridge for about 30 minutes). Strain soup into sauce pan and stir in cream heat over medium heat, until steamy. Serve it in heatproof glasses and parfait spoons!

Our April Fools Tradition!
My family has a fun April Fools dinner tradition. Each member participating in the dinner gets in between 3-5 dollars (depending on how many people are coming) and pile into a car and head to the grocery store. Once there everyone goes on their own and tries to find the weirdest/funniest thing they can think of to eat for dinner and buys it. No one reveals what they bought for dinner until you get back home and everyone puts it out on the table. After everything is made, each person has to eat a bit of everything brought back. It's crazy what the dinner will consist of; pudding, cereal, hot pockets, candy, ice cream, fried chicken, little debbie's, and more!
Last couple of times we've done this with our friends we've all dressed up as wacky as we could to get us in the crazy mood, plus, it's really fun to run around the grocery store looking silly and trying to be covert with your basket of dinner riches!
