Easter dinner is one of my favorite meals all year. In order to help out all the other fellow menu planning nerds, I took the Ultimate Easter Dinner Menu Planner from last year and updated it with lots of recent favorites. It’s new and improved and full of fabulous, refreshing, out of this world yummy recipes for Easter dinner dining. I’ve also got your back when it comes to recipes for breakfast/brunch and leftovers, if you happen to get that far.
For our little family, I’ve already narrowed it down to a pretty classic menu: Sweet Baked Ham (if you haven’t had this, it’s seriously life changing), Chantilly Potatoes (I only eat these one time a year and look forward to it every single day for 12 months), my favorite Spinach Salad with Sweet-Spicy Nuts, easy Skillet Green Beans, Buttery Cornmeal Crescent Rolls, and Unbelievable Carrot Cake for dessert (but only because we just had that amazing swirled Carrot Bundt Cake a few weeks ago), although it was a close tie with the Glazed Lemon Yogurt Sheet Cake.
Easter breakfast is also kind of a big deal around here so I think I’m going for the Lemon Sticky Buns this year with Rollup Blender Pancakes (since I just stocked the freezer with homemade strawberry jam) and some baked eggs (from here; we had them at Christmas time and they were super delicious – I add 1 tablespoon cream to each egg and just a pinch of kosher, coarse salt – about 13 minutes was perfection).
Ok, get to it! Happy menu planning!
