Approachable Recipes to keep things Simple

Simply Made Eats by Tara

I love going all out on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but on Easter I don't want to spend the whole day in the kitchen.

We do easter baskets, an egg hunt at my parents and the day gets busy. Plus, it's getting warmer in the South and I like spending time outside with the fam.

I love approachable recipes for Easter with minimal prep, that don't require a bunch of time and shopping for a million ingredients.

Let's get the recipe idea machine going...

Easter Brunch

Ham and Cheese Tarts: Brand NEW to the blog and only require 6 ingredients and 30 minutes!

Brioche French Toast Casserole: Always popular on the holidays and only takes 5 minutes to prep, then pop it into the oven.

Dill Pickle Chicken Salad: I love this one for Spring and it's heavy on dill flavor, which makes it soooo tasty. Serve it on sourdough, over greens, croissants or on crackers.

Carrot Banana Muffins: Moist and delicious with a carrot banana base and crumble topping.

Ok, this was hard to just pick a few favorites. You may want to browse more here...

Appetizers

Deviled Eggs are a must at Easter and these Cajun inspired Deviled Eggs will disappear quick!

Jalapeno Pimento Cheese: Just a touch of spice and tastes amazing with celery or on crackers. Plus, it can be prepped a day ahead to save time.

Cream Cheese Fruit Dip: Impossible to stop eating and pairs well with grapes, strawberries, pineapple, etc.

Main Courses

Spiral Ham is a classic Easter dinner idea, and this Double Smoked Ham is always popular on the blog. If you're using the oven, consider tossing the ham packet and making this pineapple ham glaze instead.

For Turkey recipes, try these popular Oven Roasted Turkey Legs or Smoked Turkey Breast.

For a smaller gathering, these Boneless Beef Short Ribs will be a hit!
