Easter Menu Suggestions


Hard to believe it's already Holy Week! Which means my week is about to get really busy! In years past, I would often attempt to make a big Easter lunch for us but I've come to realize that it's just not worth the headache. After surviving Holy Week + Easter morning, a reservation for a great Easter brunch followed by a Sunday afternoon nap is really what my soul needs.

{of course, living away from family makes my plan that much easier to pull off!}

I have fond childhood memories of attending our church then heading straight over to see the extended family, all in our Easter dresses. After the usual posing for photos, we were allowed to change into play clothes and soon dig into the buffet of goodness. I hope that you and yours are planning a similar gathering this weekend and that maybe one of these recipes will help inspire your Easter menu!
