Lamb and Brie Sliders with Homemade Truffled Parmesan Potato Chips

This Easter I decided to do something non traditional…something snazzy and it was a big hit! I feel like every year we do the similar style dishes and that can get boring. So Evan was the Fry Daddy and I took over the grill! This was definitely not a boring meal! This was also the first Easter we spent without our families, Evan’s parents are in Singapore still and mine are coming up tomorrow to babysit their Granddoggie and Grandkitty babies (we don’t have kids so they fill that void). 😉

Evan is going to San Fran for a Bachelor Party Trip for one of our best friends and I’m going to Denver with 2 of my best lady friends for a beer extravaganza (we LOVE beer). I will also get to see my god father that I haven’t seen in ages on Saturday!!! So if you start to wonder where Zesty is… I’m ok 😉 I’ll be gone Thurs-Sun, don’t worry I’ll still be posting a pizza because I can’t let my pizza lovers down!

If ANY of you have any suggestions for awesome places to eat or drink in Denver or San Fran please drop me a line! We wanna know!
