We have a thing against Peeps.
It borders on hatred and disgust.
But this doesn’t mean we are anti all Easter eats. In fact, we really love bunnies, eggs and fare dotted in pretty pastels. It is just the marshmallow-sugar birds that make us cringe! Our vote: ban them or microwave them and watch them blow-up. The choice is yours.
Easter is the first family-focused event post the holidays which means that the main dish is normally covered by the host. So we decided to roundup our favorite side dish/dessert goodies that should make their way to your Easter table.
We think you will be pleased.
Decorating your eats is part of the Easter fun and we can’t stop saying “so cute” about these festive chocolate covered strawberries.

These little guys are so cute you might not want to eat them!
Easter is a reminder that spring is in the air. Keep it green and light with a spring pea soup.
When all else fails, just stuff healthy snacks into plastic eggs. Festive, healthy and fun…we are so in.
Do you have a favorite Easter recipe? What do you love about the spring holiday?
Those poptarts! OMG. I used to HOOVER poptarts when I was younger, man, those were so good! 🙂
I’m so into the idea of the Cadbury fudge! I’ve made dyed eggs before-one version I pickled the eggs in beets, and the other I boiled them plain, scooped the yolks and mixed it with a beet juice mixture. All were so pretty! Prettiness being my favorite thing about spring food;)
You are so fancy Ellen! That sounds beautiful.
