Easter Noms

It’s that time of year when some egg laying rabbit (Darwin, what sort of natural selection is this?!) comes hopping up to distribute candy to all the little girls and boys in adorable little dresses and Sunday suits. No my baby fever isn’t kicking in or anything. I don’t think little frilly dresses and widdle three piece suits are precious at all.
Oh my God, YES I DO!
So, with this holiday in full swing it turns out I won’t be doing any cooking what so ever. And for once I’m effervescently excited about it. Don’t worry, but lunch time on Sunday that effervescence will have worn off and I’ll dissolve into a twitchy mess peering over the shoulders of my family members in the kitchen as they prepare the Sunday dinner where I can’t help but step in an take the knife away from some untrustworthy-to-chop-anything-properly family member. (No, I’m not talking about you Dad. Promise.)
But in the mean time – I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite recipes that will put the spring in your family dinner and liven up any Easter setting. And who am I kidding – I’ll probably make something for Easter. You can count on it being any number of these.
Lemon and Champagne Bundt Cake – For obvious reasons.
Beecher’s Flagship Cheese, Asparagus and Pear Bites – A little sweet and savory never hurt anybody.
Spiced Pear and Chocolate Bread Pudding– It’s got chocolate in it. And it’s epic.
Nutella Pecan Pie – Nutella. Say no more.
Homemade Riccota – served with Garlic Toasts – Healthy and totally easy.
Pumpkin (or other flavored) Beer Bread – It’s a hefty bread that will please the men-folk in your life.
Lemon Thyme Biscotti – Delicate and happy for the spring.
Summer Berry Ice Box Pie – Will the summer into action with this no-bake pie!
Oven Fried Salmon Wontons– Impressive, delicious, and baked in the oven.
Tomato Florentine Quiche Cups– These just scream Easter Brunch, don’t you think?
Lemon Lavender Macarons– All the rage. You’ll be the culinary star of your family with these beauties.
Rosemary Cranberry Pecans – A handy snack packed with tangy and savory flavor.
Biscoff Tiramisu – C’mon. Really? You know you wanna.
Asparagus and Brie Perogies – Veggies. Cheese. Appetizer. Done.
Red Velvet Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting – Because you just have to. It’s the law. The best of red velvet cake and cinnamon rolls all in one package.
Happy Adorable Kids in Suits and Candy Pooping Bunnies Day!!
Can I just say how much I’m in love with this post b/c almost all of these recipes are from before I “discovered” your blog! Did you know one of my food bucket list items is homemade ricotta? I assume that post is just for me 🙂
Make the ricotta. Do it. It’s so easy and you feel so bad-ass doing it hahah.
I’m so glad you like the list! And I have to start reading your blog backwards too. We’ve clearly missed out on so much!!
nice recipe collection

I. cant. stop. drooling…. MMmmmm. Everything looks divine! I’m especially wanting those red velvet rolls! Oh my lordy! YUM!
I’ve never really associated Easter with food other than chocolate eggs before, I’m definitely going to have to up my game!
Lemon and champagne in one cake? I’m there. You are so smart!
Awesome Easter line up! The tiramisu was an instant attention grabber, as were the quiche cups! Thanks!
Your photo skills and recipe prowess kill me. Seriously amazing Megan…I am in awe!

Great round-up of recipes. I’ll be sure to make everything, starting with that lemon and champagne bundt cake 🙂
Here I sat, pondering Easter brunch, and you went and threw those quiche cups back on my radar. Brilliant!
