Make Ahead Easter Brunch Menu
A delicious stuffed French toast bake is the centerpiece of this easy menu. Serve mimosas to accompany this meal - just pour equal amounts of orange juice and champagne (for the adults) or sparkling cider (for the kids) into champagne flutes.
Five Ingredient Easter Dinner
This easy menu uses the crockpot, the grill, and your fridge and freezer for last-minute and make-ahead recipes that all use five ingredients or less. But you'd never know it, because they're all delicious.
Easter Dinner for Three or Four
For a smaller gathering, a ham steak is the perfect choice. This elegant menu is perfect for any celebration, as a matter of fact. The recipes are a bit more adventurous, but still homey and satisfying.
Grilled Easter Dinner
Start dreaming about summer by cooking Easter dinner on the grill. These easy recipes will let you enjoy the day with family and friends, especially if someone else in the gathering loves to grill and will take over.
Sunrise Easter Breakfast
You can have breakfast in two parts in this easy menu. Make the quick breads the day before to nibble on your way to the early service, then come home and have scrambled eggs and stuffed peaches. What a great idea.
Non-Traditional Easter Dinner
A beautiful filo dough roll filled with ham, rice, and vegetables is the centerpiece of this easy meal. All the recipes are easy, but all have special touches, like the asparagus served with the ingredients for Caesar salad dressing. Yum.
Crockpot Beef Roast Easter Dinner
A pot roast might not be traditional for Easter, but it sure is good. This menu is especially appropriate when it's cold and rainy (or snowy!) outside. The entree and all of the side dishes, except the salad and the decadent dessert, are cooked in the crockpot.
