From a perfectly seasoned Honey Baked Ham to delicious Deviled Eggs and Moist Tender Carrot Cake, I have gathered the best recipes making the Ultimate Easter Menu!
Easter seems like it will be a bit different from previous years. If you were planning on going out to eat for brunch, things certainly have changed. Your Easter menu will be more or less planned at home, and I have a wonderful idea!
Make this a holiday to truly remember. Decorate the home, set out the lovely china and silverware and really dress up to make it special. I already had Harmony’s Easter dress picked out months ago and even though we won’t be going to church (we will be watching online), I’ve decided that we can still get dressed up for the occasion and enjoy a fantastic Easter menu.

Jocelyn, your recipes are like having my mother telling me how to cook. Sadly, she never taught me to cook, but she could turn out a meal that would put others to shame. When I am cooking one of your dishes, I talk to my mother. I tell her how proud I know she is of me and how much she would love this recipe. Of course she and my daddy are in heaven, but I know they are smiling down.
Thank you!
Patsy
