Happy weekend!
This is the first year I’m hosting Easter. At age 31, I feel I should have done this by now? But it’s always been family holiday at my parents’ or in-law’s. With our home finally coming together after nearly a year, I figure it’s the best time to gather the families and celebrate with a big Easter meal.
The menu isn’t 100% decided yet, but there will be ham, a potato side dish of sorts, asparagus side dish– or maybe from-scratch green bean casserole Kevin’s favorite (is that Easter-y?), homemade biscuits, and a salad. Am I missing anything? Dessert will be pineapple upside down cake the night before when my parents get in, then Easter nest cake on Sunday. Oh, and deviled eggs for sure!
I’ve been brainstorming and gathering several Easter recipes together this week. There’s everything from egg dishes for breakfast or brunch, cinnamon rolls + scones, desserts, homemade candy, supper, and side dishes. This list should cover everything we need!
