With Easter coming up, I thought I would post some recipes that I thought looked SO GOOD! Even though I know this Easter will be a bit different with this crazy pandemic that has turned our world upside down. We just have to make the most of what we can do.

I am going to be going to a drive-in church service Sunday morning, which will be pretty amazing. Then I plan on going home with my boyfriend and sons to have an Easter dinner. I hope to do an Easter egg hunt ( it’s an easter tradition that my parents started ), with my boys, even though they are 9 and 11.

And since I am planning on doing a small dinner, I was looking up some yummy ideas to serve. I will definitely not do all of them but give one or two a try. I put a few recipes in each category. Try some and then we can give some comments on whether they were good or not! So fun!

Drinks

It is always nice to have a fun drink or punch to enjoy while your dinner is cooking. I put some that are alcoholic and non-alcoholic. That way there is a choice for everyone.

Alcoholic

Dogwood Punch

Creamsicle Punch

Lemosas

Non-Alcoholic

Homemade Raspberry Peach Lemonade

Strawberry Citrus Punch

Appy’s

It’s always nice to have a little snack while waiting for dinner to be ready. Even having dinner with only appetizers is a great idea, especially for smaller crowds. And they are a pleasure to make (and to eat)!
