Simple Recipes For Easter

Easter is a week from today. Wasn’t New Years just a few weeks ago? I guess at some point I should pick and work on a resolution…

If you actually gave something up for Lent, Easter is the best time to gorge yourself on it and still feel accomplished for the last forty days. If you didn’t, there’s plenty of food to gorge yourself on, still. My favorite thing about Easter(besides the chocolate bunnies, of course) is that it marks the start of a new season bursting with light and spicy flavors that wake up your taste buds after months of winter squash and heavy sauces.

Here are some of my favorite recipes that are quick and work perfectly for an Easter feast. Of course there’s dessert since Easter is also when we celebrate my birthday; you need a cake to put candles in.  

Appetizers:

Lime Tortilla Chips

Firecracker Guacamole

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Side Dishes:

I hope there’s something there that you’d enjoy!
