Easter Recipe Roundup

Happy Spring!

The snow’s finally starting to melt here in Salem.

(Thank goodness, right? I think our snow piles were 15 feet high during the height of the blizzards.)

So, with Easter right around the corner, I’m in heavy menu planning mode.

I figured I’d pull together a bunch of my favorite recipes for you guys. Still not sure what we’re making, but here’s some inspiration for you, organized by course.

There’s even a few homemade candy recipes at the end, if you’d rather fill those Easter baskets with custom goodies.

But, before we get to the food, let’s talk Easter table centerpieces.

I’ve never been super crafty, but people love this thing. I’m happy to present to you, once again, the peep topiary!

(Colossal, right?)

It’s a fun, silly way to use up all those puffy little beasts—and make your table a little extra festive.
