Spring has come, and Easter isn't too far away. Easter is one of the most popular holidays, and part of the reason people like it is because of the food. Here are some good tips for some tasty Easter recipes if you are having friends or family over for Easter dinner this year.
Ham and sweet potatoes with marshmallows and maple syrup
Ham is one of the most popular Easter foods, and you can make it taste even better by adding some tasty maple syrup. Even though maple syrup you buy at the store should work, try to buy maple syrup that is 100% pure and not made with corn syrup. Pure maple syrup will make your food taste sweet and delicious, and your friends and family will love it.
You can easily serve sweet potatoes covered in mini marshmallows with your maple syrup ham. Your maple syrup ham will get along best with sweet potatoes. Add mini marshmallows for a special treat that will make kids and adults smile.
Cookies shaped like the Easter Bunny
Even though Easter is all about chocolate bunnies, cookies are also a great treat. Easter Bunny cookies are fun to make and tasty to eat, just like Christmas cookies. Most grocery stores, discount stores, and craft stores sell Easter Bunny cookie cutters so you can make your favourite chocolate chip or sugar cookies into great Easter Bunny shapes.
Cup cakes with Easter eggs
Easter egg cup cakes are a great way to get your kids excited about the holiday. Easter egg cupcakes are a fun and easy way to add colour to a dessert for Easter dinner. Use small waffle cones instead of cup cake holders to hold your cup cake mixture. Once your creation is baked, you can add colour, sprinkles, candy, etc.
The Easter Bunny Carrot Cake
The Easter Bunny carrot cake is a great way for the whole family to add colour and fun. What goes better with bunny rabbits than carrots? Nothing, and a tasty carrot cake goes with any Easter dinner. You can buy a carrot cake and add your own decorations to the top. People often make their own frosting and colour it with food colouring to make it look like an Easter egg.
Cocktails for Easter
Adults who like to end their meal with a tasty alcoholic drink can choose from a wide range of colourful cocktails that go well with any Easter dinner. For example, some liquors come in different colours, like grenadine for rose and blue Curacao for cerulean. You can also make multicoloured Easter drinks by mixing clear liquor with different fruit juices. For those who don't want to drink alcohol, you can easily add colour to your event by making a variety of fresh fruit smoothies with cream or milk and fresh fruit. Some people add yoghurt to the mix as well.
