Our Favorite Easter Posts
Easter time is here! A time of bunnies, birds, eggs, and lovely spring treats. While our family does not celebrate Easter in a religious sense, we still like to enjoy a special spring meal and making baskets of little goodies left by the Easter bunny for the children. This time of year is always so special, as I have noticed with each passing spring that this particular weekend always seems to signify a change in the season where we live in Iowa. I am not sure that is true of every place in the world, but here it is when we begin to see the first sprouts of life out of the ground and the robins return!
However you may celebrate, we hope that you enjoy this round up of little old-fashioned recipes and ideas to make in your own home.
You may be looking for some older posts on our blog, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Many of our older blog posts are no longer here because we updated to a new website! We hope to remake many of them in time, so bear with us. Please feel free to send us a message if there is a particular post that you are missing!
egg in a nest breads
These sweet little breads are inspired by the Pane di Pasqua, or Italian Easter Bread. Traditionally, this is a sweet bread decorated with sprinkle and a colorfully dyed egg! I thought that it might be fun to make a savory version with a hard or soft boiled egg, Italian seasoning, and cheese. These are one of our most popular recipes, and I hope that you love making them as much as we do!
hand painted floral eggs
How gorgeous are these floral painted eggs? Painting eggs is a fun way to change up your decorations for the season! While we love naturally dying eggs, too, these were a lovely way to stretch our creativity. You could paint real eggs or wooden ones. The choice is up to you! If you used a food grade paint, it would be fun to serve these hard boiled!
chocolate peanut butter candies
Have you ever wondered how to make your own peanut butter cup candies at home? This vintage recipe is so fun to make and takes only a smidgen of time! I have been wanting to dive more and more into making homemade candies that you might only find in your grandma’s community cookbook. These are certainly worthy of those pages!
lemon curd filled cupcakes
Deliciously soft and moist lemon cake filled with lemon curd and topped with a lemon buttercream frosting. If you love lemon, then you will absolutely adore these cupcakes. They are so cute for your Easter table spread!
a slow and simple easter video
This video is a couple of years old, but it is still so sweet! If you love to watch aesthetic videos, be sure to give this one a watch. In it, I share how to arrange a spring bouquet, dye Easter eggs with natural ingredients, make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Candies, and more. Enjoy!
We wish you a wonderful weekend of celebrating! I am looking forward to a week of creating ahead of this busy weekend. My oldest turns EIGHT tomorrow! That flew by quickly!
