Your Easter Menu

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I can't believe that spring is here and Easter is less than 2 weeks away! I'm thoroughly enjoying our spring weather here in Boise, but admittedly, Easter has been a bit of an after thought for me.

We change up our menu every year, but I've got a traditional Easter menu below that is similar to what I grew up enjoying every Easter Sunday. This menu gives me great memories of sitting around my grandparent's table for my grandmother's melt-in-your-mouth tender ham and her Armenian rice pilaf!

See my entire selection of Easter recipes for even more ideas, but for the sake of ease, this week I’ve created a complete, easy-to-make menu you can follow for your special dinner.

Easter Made Easy Dinner Menu

Slow Cooker Ham with Maple Glaze

This slow cooker ham is even better than Honey Baked Ham and it's beyond easy to make! It's tender, flavorful and includes a homemade maple glaze that takes it over the top.

Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes

It's not a holiday for my family without these creamy, fluffy mashed potatoes! Yukon gold potatoes are the key to make them extra fluffy and they have a secret ingredient for richness and flavor.

Maple Glazed Rainbow Carrots

These glazed carrots are as delicious as they are pretty to look at! They're tender and sweet and make the perfect festive Easter side dish.

Spring Farro Salad

This farro salad is a wonderful side dish or hearty vegetarian option. It's hearty, brimming with spring veggies and it's tossed in a vibrant lemon dressing. Swap the farro for quinoa as desired!

French Fruit Tart

This fruit tart is an impressive spring dessert that is easier to make than you think! It starts with a press-in shortbread crust, pastry cream that can be made entirely in advance, and it can be decorated with your favorite fruit!
