Easter is fast approaching so I thought now was a great time to share some of my favorite recipes since you’re likely fine-tuning your holiday menu. And I’ll be honest — originally I intended to share a new recipe for Easter today but … well, let’s just say I wasn’t overly impressed and I don’t share recipes that leave me feeling meh. I only share awesome recipes. Well, awesome to me at least!
Celebrate Easter with Some Delicious Food
Wow your friends and family with these yummy dishes this Easter!
Breakfast
Easter morning is always hectic but you still need a good breakfast to fuel your busy day. These yummy dishes will keep you going … until lunch. 😀

I love a good french toast bake because you can make them in advance, which is so important on Easter morning, and they always get rave reviews. This is one of my favorites.

Oh my word… this just has it all.
All the breakfast stuff- I’m down for – especially the over flow of mushrooms & veggies in that bake!!!
I honestly can’t believe Easter is just the Sunday after next! WOW!
Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal and having a big, fancy one is my absolute favorite. I can’t believe how quickly Easter is coming either. 😀
YUMMMM. time is flying by. Easter is a big thing for my inlaws so I fully expect to be stuffing my face soon.
I’m looking forward to stuffing my face on Easter too. 😀 Can’t wait!
Love this! I host Easter for my husband’s family so I’m always on the lookout for fun and yummy new recipes to serve them! Those desserts looks awesome!! And I’m glad you included appetizers! No family gathering of ours is complete without some pre-dinner snacks!!
I am particularly found of the lemon sour cream pie and strawberry cake. And appetizers! I love them so much. Sometimes, between you and me, more than the meal. 😀
I just bookmarked the french toast casserole and the banana pudding dessert. Probably won’t end up making them for Easter, but will hopefully make them soon!
Oh, that’s a good one, Nancy! I love french toast casseroles so much. The banana pudding dessert is also fantastic. Seriously, it’s my family’s favorite and they fight over it. 😀
seriously, every single one of these looks SO amazing. especially the strawberry cake, my favorite!
The strawberry cake is AMAZING! I know I’m bias but it is seriously, seriously good!
Wow! That all looks so good! And I must say, as I read this it occurs to me that I should have waited until after lunch to read it instead of just before! If I need any new Easter recipes I may just have to make one or two of these. Thanks for sharing!
Been there, done that myself, Kayla. 😀 I always make the mistake of checking out food posts before a meal too and then have to restrain myself from licking the screen! LOL!
Baked French toast with orange marmalade cream cheese???? Oh my word, that sounds decadent and ah-mazing!!!!!!! 🙂
It is decadent and amazing, Mackenzie. I love it so dang much. But to be fair, I love almost any kind of breakfast!
