Easter is around the corner, so I wanted to revisit these surprise eggs I made a couple years ago. I used them as placecards for an Easter lunch. These were inspired by Megan of not martha, and they are real eggs, hollowed out and stuffed with treats. The truly surprising thing, though, is that they were actually really, really easy. More
If you haven't had quiche lately, it is time to remedy that situation. I could eat quiche for breakfast, lunch, and dinner without ever growing tired, but quiche is an especially good dish for a big Easter brunch or other spring-time gathering. You make it the day ahead, slice it just before serving, and then pass out the plates. This fool-proof recipe has yet to disappoint. More
With Easter around the corner and spring just arrived, there's probably a plethora of eggs in your near future. Maybe you're dyeing them or just making a batch of deviled eggs for a potluck. But one thing is for sure — boiling them in water, that's so last year. More
While we're talking about eating handfuls of candy, we need to discuss these adorable bluebirds. Aren't they precious? And if you don't love Jordan almonds, there's an itty bitty M&M version, too. Read on to see it... More

Read on to see a few cake decorating tips, and my thoughts on this lemon cake. More
Got too much Easter candy? Jelly beans and Cadbury eggs rolling out of little plastic baskets? Here's one way to both use it up and put it over the top: Easter candy bark. More
Easter is this weekend, and I am preparing a big dinner for 10 guests on Sunday afternoon. I love the foods of Easter; there are recipes I only make for this holiday (like these fried rolls from my mother's family recipe box). What about you? Do you celebrate Easter with any special foods? A bunny cake, perhaps? Or do you just show up for the jellybeans and chocolate bunnies? More
To those of you who have never heard of an Easter butter sculpture, I can guess that you will already be leaning toward believing butter molded to look like a lamb might be a little wacky. But for the rest of us who grew up knowing such a tradition as normal, Easter butter sculptures seem akin with a holiday ham. Does your Easter tradition involve a butter lamb? More
Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love the tender spring foods that can be spread out across a table with friends on a fresh spring morning. And Easter is a big deal in my family, where traditional Eastern European breads rule the menu. But I also love the sweet projects that come with Easter dinner! Here is a look back at our own Easter projects, from homemade marshmallow Peeps, to hollow sugar eggs, to eggs that have a surprise inside. We have beautiful, naturally-dyed Easter eggs, sweet egg-shaped cakes, and a few ideas for dinner and brunch menus, too. More
