Fiesta Friday #268

Sorry this comes so late. Without too long of an explanation, let’s just say FiestaFriday.net was hacked by some unknown entity, but it seems to be operating fine right now. If you see anything suspicious, please let me know.

Now that St. Patrick’s Day is over, my attention is laser-focused on Easter. It happens to be my most favorite holiday, by the way. Besides Halloween. Or Christmas. Or 4th of July. I guess I really like holidays. They give me the chance to do something creative in the kitchen.

Easter is one I particularly look forward to. After the dreary and bleak months of winter, Easter comes with the arrival of spring and with it, the landscape once again offers colors. Flowers are blooming and trees are greening. No other holidays offer the freshness of springtime colors. That’s why Easter is so special, and I’ve always made a point of making my family a special treat for Easter. Here are a couple of them:

Italian Easter Bread

I had posted these pictures on the blog for you to see quite some time ago. All the while neglecting to share the recipes. So my order to myself in the next few weeks is to try to write the recipes to go with these pictures. Hopefully, in time for Easter.

What are you making for Easter?

Fiesta Features Time!

Chocolate-Nutella Tart from Vanitha @ Curry and Vanilla

“Wow, chocolate and Nutella in a jam cookie crust. This tart is not only delicious, but beautiful. I adore elegant and creative desserts like this.” — Antonia

Chili Pineapple Chicken Tacos from Petra @ Food Eat Love

“Tacos are one of my favorite foods! I love the idea of adding the chili pineapple. Spices it up and adds a new flavor to the idea of tacos.” — Abbey

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars from Kat @ Kat’s 9 Lives

“These seriously couldn’t get any better!! They are green and festive for St. Patty’s Day, and mint! I mean, how can you go wrong with mint!” — Abbey

Simon Pearce Vermont Cheddar Soup from Mollie @ Frugal Hausfrau

“I adore this soup! I’m a sucker for anything cheesy, and this soup truly delivers! I can’t wait to make it!” — Antonia

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #268 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net and the co-hosts’ blogs, so we can feature you. Your co-hosts this week are Julianna @ Foodie on Board and myself.

If you’re new to Fiesta Friday, please read the guidelines.

    Oh no, glad your site is back! I should say, for every one of us working hard at maintaining a blog and doing what we love, there are 100 others trying to get in through the side and make it hard for us. Sigh.
    Hugs Angie!

      I feel exactly the same, Ramya. I’m quite furious about it. These people are evil! I’m hoping the tech support people will do a thorough job at fixing the problem. So far on the IMac everything looks fine *fingers crossed*

      It’s working fine now on my iMac and iPhone, but when I view the site on the iPad it’s still messed up, so I don’t know what’s going on there. It could be device related, who knows?! It’s not like I’m an expert on this, but someone is working hard looking into it. I can only hope he can solve ALL the issues. Glad to know it’s working alright on your device, Jhuls. Thanks for letting me know ?

      No, it’s not contagious, Rita ? But then again, who knows?! There seem to be more and more of these hackers out there. I’m on my phone right now, I’ll give you the link shortly as soon as I can get to my computer.

      I tell you what, Rita. I’m planning on working on a new button/badge for Fiesta friday this weekend and I will share it with y’all as soon as it’s ready, how’s that? The old one just doesn’t cut it anymore. In the meantime you can use the header image of my blog if you like.

    Hi, so glad that your site is working fine now! Your Italian Easter Bread looks wonderful, I haven’t made in years. Thank you for the inspiration and also thanks so much for hosting a great link party. I shared our Chicken Pierre recipe this time around, filled with sauteéd slices of chicken breast swimming in a harmonious tomato-based sauce served over jasmine rice. Thanks again 🙂

      Yah, it was a pretty horrible experience, even though it was quickly fixed. I hate it that we’re so vulnerable. I wish I knew more about the technical aspects of blogging so I can prevent future attacks.

    The Social Warfare plugin was hacked yesterday, so that might be the cause of the problem. I heard that they did get a patch out to subscribers though…hopefully you have updated it.

    Thanks again for another great party week!

      Yes! That was what my host provider said. I’ve updated all my plugins and everything seems to be just fine. But it was stressful for a while. I’m glad you’re here participating in the fiesta, Erin. Have a great weekend!

    Angie, I wish I would have seen this earlier and it sounds like you got your answer! I had the same thing and it was a security issue with Social Warfare…and I don’t feel too bad about calling our their name publicly. Tech support removed them and bam, my site was back up with no vicious warnings. Ugggh!!

    Thanks for featuring my soup! It’s so good. I can’t think of anything else but that chocolate nutella tart, though~even though I am sure all the features are outstanding, I feel totally eclipsed, haha!! Gorgeous! And, now, yes, it IS time to think about Easter!!!

    Happy FF!!

        March 23, 2019 at 9:16 am

        So are you looking to replace SW with another plugin? So far mine is still active and functioning properly after the update, but at some point I suppose I should look for a replacement. I feel like I shouldn’t trust them again. They may have cost me some subscribers and Fiesta linkers.

    What a fabulous round up. I particularly loved Mollie’s Cheddar Soup. I’m going to be thinking about it all week! Glad to hear you’re site is back up. I heard about the social warfare plug in problem and actually deleted it! Crazy stuff.

      Yes, that soup! Did you also see the scones that go with it?! Drool ? Have you found a replacement for Social Warfare? I’m still looking. I hate to admit I still like SW, but I’m not sure I should trust them again.
