Easter Recipes

Wow, is Easter early this year… it’s only 10 days away, yet I still see snowflakes flying around! Does your family have any Easter traditions? A big brunch… a casual get together… an Easter egg hunt for the kids… typical ham, potatoes, and traditional side dishes? My grandma always baked some special things at Easter, so my mom and I will be making those together before the holiday. I’ll be sharing a few new Easter-themed recipes next week, but I wanted to kick things off with a round up of some of my favorite Easter foods. You’ll find ideas for breakfasts, brunches, appetizers, side dishes, and desserts. If you’re putting together a menu this weekend, I think you’ll find some great ideas in the list below. Enjoy!
