On April Fool’s Day, it was our turn to host
Life Group at our house (instead of adult Sunday Schools, our church does adult
Bible Study groups during the week.) Being a holiday, we couldn’t pass up the
opportunity to be festive. J
So we decided to have a mixed-up dinner!
|
For
dinner, we had cake! This bundt cake happened to be made out of biscuit mix,
sausage, pepperoni, and pizza sauce, with mozzarella cheese for frosting.
|
|
These
beautiful layer cakes were actually meatloaf with mashed potato frosting, decorated
with ketchup and mustard “icing”.
|
|
For the kids, Roma made some delicious PB&J “sushi”
rolls. |
|
For dessert, she made “bacon and eggs” from white chocolate, yellow M&M’s, and
pretzels.
|
|
I
think these were my personal favorite: dessert “taco salad” cups! Roma made
these with ice cream cones, chocolate ice cream (refried beans), colored
coconut (green for lettuce, yellow for cheese), maraschino cherries (tomatoes),
chocolate licorice (black olives), and whipped cream (sour cream.)
|
We also had “mockamole” with chips. It looked
just like guacamole and tasted very similar, but it was made with sweet green
peas instead of avocado. It had a delicious sweet and spicy taste. We also had
fruit and drinks.
|
The
weather that day was beautiful with temperatures going into the upper 70’s. It
was a perfect evening to be outside. Some of the adults ate outside while the
kids played. This picture doesn’t show it well, but we had over 30 people at
our house!
|
We had a really fun evening together, and
enjoyed pulling a few April Fool’s jokes. J

I love your dinner ideas
Such cute ideas with the food! :) I was surely fooled! ;)
We've never really done anything for April Fool's Day but it is fun hearing how other people have been fooled! :)
Have a blessed week!
Joyfully His,

Thank you for your comment, Alexis. This was the first year we did anything intentional to celebrate April Fool's Day. It was a lot of fun, and may become a family tradition now! :-)

Your Welcome! :) That would be fun (having it as a family tradition, I mean).
Have a wonderful night!
Joyfully His,

i like the bacon and eggs
what fun
i was glad I wasn't working April fools day since I tend to be extremely gullible.
Thanks for your comment, Betsy! It was a lot of fun, and the bacon and eggs were quite tasty.
You don't seem that gullible to me! :-) In your wing at work, it probably feels a little like April Fool's every day with some of the things your patients come up with.
