Easter Menu

Easter is my FAVORITE holiday. 

A holiday filled with JOY.
For a Savior the grave could NOT contain!

But, it’s a holiday that our family doesn’t have many food-related traditions for, nor other big traditions; we just enjoy spending time together celebrating! 

No Easter baskets filled with candy here – mainly because the candy has nuts!  Although, I do have plans to try some DIY candy versions this year. 

So, we are celebrating Christ’s Resurrection with ham and potatoes, and a few new traditions: 

Breakfast {before & after Church}

Resurrection Rolls
{Before church on Sunday, we’ll start the day with these new-to-us resurrection rolls!}

 

Orange Cranberry Muffins
{After church, while we wait for lunch, we’ll have these yummy muffins & fresh fruit}

For our main meal {late lunch}, we’re planning to make:

Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes & Ham
{this can easily cook away while we are at church Sunday morning}

Herbed Green Beans
{We love green beans, simply steamed & spiced with basil & a little butter too!}

Spiced Country Applesauce
{This applesauce is the BEST, and it’s a great way to bring fruit into our menu without shelling out tons of $ for fruit that is not yet in season}

Deviled Eggs
{Can’t wait for these!!}

Dessert

We haven’t fully decided on our dessert menu yet, but here’s what we’re debating between:

Whole Wheat Carrot Zucchini Cake
{This is ultimately my favorite dessert cake. I’m voting for this one!}

Carrot Bars
{A delicious second to the carrot zucchini cake; super moist & yummy!}

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
{another one of our favorites!}

Fruit Pizza
{This one is always a hit!}

Creamy Smooth Chocolate Pie
{This is a new recipe for us – but it looks so tempting….}

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
{These also look amazing!}
 
 
 
 

 

Cherry Cheesecake
{No pudding in this no-bake cheesecake – might top it with cherries or other berries}

 

Help us decide… which dessert!?!?!

  3. i have made the blueberry lemon bars or something very similar and i can tell you they are GOOD. easy to make too. for me personally though they are less of a holiday dessert though i like to use holidays as an excuse to be a little fancy : ) plus give me anything chocolate or with cream cheese icing and i would pick that in a heartbeat !

  5. I'm planning on making your carrot zucchini cake....can't wait to try it! So I vote for that, with a side of strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Can't have too many desserts, you know. :)

  6. Fix all the desserts and either freeze or give them away!! They look too good to just choose one or two.
