Without intending to do so, Amy Roloff has managed to make a plateful of cookies seem controversial.
The Little People, Big World star jumped on Instagram last week to share a delicious looking photo.
It features Amy sitting alone at a table, except for the yummy items in front of her; from mini muffins to some kind of bread and even a few painted eggs.
“I’m already planning for Easter,” she wrote to open a lengthy caption, continuing as follows:
“It’s a special time and celebration to me because what Jesus did! And I’m with my family. Amy Roloff’s Little Kitchen is all about sharing what I love with you.
“Recipes, food and why I love being in the kitchen making delicious baked goods and meals. That gather people together and around the table.”
So… why the aforementioned controversy?
Because Easter is arguably the most sacred and important of all Catholic holidays.
It is meant as a celebration for the surprising resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And Amy is using it as a way to shill for her website and her company?!? Does she have no sense of decorum or respect?!?
So argues a few harsh critics, at least.
“Really, Amy?!? Must you exploit this holiday for your own selfish gain?” wrote one follower in response to this post.
The post, meanwhile, goes on a bit more:
I remember how I loved coloring eggs w/ my kids and hiding them before they woke up to find them. And making Easter baskets with something special in it that reminded them what Easter truly is all about. I
’d baked a lemon poppy seed bread (in photo) quiche, cheesecake, honey baked ham and other goodies for our meal. I get excited just thinking about it.
We get hungry just thinking about it.
But some get angry.
“Just stop, Amy,” said another hater. “Of ALL days, this one is not about you.”
In the past, Amy’s daughter also got dragged for using God and religion to pitch her own products.
Amy, meanwhile, typically hears it from trolls who don’t approve of her romance with Chris Marek.
But he wasn’t the source of contention this time around.
Concluded Roloff in her caption:
My kids are all grown up now and it’ll be fun to see them with their kids at Easter and start their own traditions. What are some of your Easter traditions and things you make? Check out Amy Roloff’s Little Kitchen at www.amyjroloff.com.
Thank you for your support and encouragement. Have a wonderful almost Spring day.
Roloff also used the hashtags “#amyroloffslittlekitchen,” “#Easter,” “#celebratetraditions,” “#familylife,” and “#sharingourstory.”
What do you think of this scandal?
Is it really a scandal?
Is Amy just doing what any entrepreneur anywhere would do?
Or should Easter really not be a holiday that gets the hashtag treatment because it is too sacred?
We want to hear your opinion, readers!
