Easter day is upon us. I am not sure about you, but I have been thinking of what to do for our Easter Dinner Menu. Since we won’t be doing a large family gathering this year, my audience for my fun twist on foods is almost non existent. My younger kids would be happy with cereal and pie, while my oldest son (a home chef & restaurant cook) likes everything & my husband prefers traditional food and will gladly TRY most foods I make. Where to begin with my Easter dinner? For this article, I have compiled 17 simple Easter dinner ideas that I think would make a great addition to any Easter menu. I hope this sparks some creativity & inspires you to create a fun non traditional menu, while incorporating some traditional Easter comfort foods.
Happy Easter & always find your patch of sun
