The festive mood will be created by cheerful figurines of yellow chickens, placed in low beautiful vessels with green grass. Easter compositions are very diverse, create them and decorate your home.

It is not necessary to be a believer for this, this holiday has long become a universal day of joy and spring.

For Easter, buy the best homemade cottage cheese, fatty and fresh. Grind it several times, mixing with cream, eggs, sugar, spices, nuts and raisins. Do not make a large amount of this dish, because it does not last very long.
