My family usually plans at least one great, celebratory meal when we get together. Between my Mom, my Sister and me, we come up with a menu and divvy it up. This year for Easter, my Mom found some amazing recipes and we had so much fun putting this meal together.

Grandma and the boys had a great time making and decorating cupcakes and sugar cookies.

Zane may have enjoyed the cookie making more than the others!

Our Easter table.

I made Scotch Eggs. I’ve only seen Scotch Eggs one time in the States. In an English pub and they were asking $9! So glad to find this very simple recipe. Instead of frying them, I baked them at 325F for 30 minutes – even better! They were so yummy and I can satisfy my craving for this UK food. They may be almost too easy to make. The Pickled Eggs and Beets that my Mom made were so good. They were a nice counterpoint to the saltier foods we had – I loved them with the ham.

My Mom also made Artichoke and Egg Dip. It was lovely – would be great for a party!

The Asparagus and Ham Stuffed Potatoes were amazing. Just amazing.

There was also ham and super greens salad from Costco.

My sister works at a bakery and they made some amazing hot cross buns which are one of my favorite Easter traditions. So good!

Here’s to good food, celebrations and time with family!
