Deep South Dish Southern Easter Menu Ideas and Recipes
Looking for some menu ideas for Easter? Well, Easter dinner is certainly the best time to finally throw open the curtains and throw back the heavy covers of winter to bring in some fresh, spring color, fragrant flowers and a few favorite recipes to the table. Besides all of the religious attachments many of us have to Easter, it is also a time of refreshing and renewal. What better way to welcome spring than a nice brunch, buffet, or dinner?Now's the time to bring out the pretty pastel colors for your tables and linens, and bouquets of spring flowers - daffodils, hyacinths and tulips. Any kind of egg related decorations, ceramic or stuffed bunnies, or ceramic chickens can be used to brighten things up. Make an edible centerpiece using jelly beans, egg shaped foil wrapped candies, peeps and other Easter candies.
Pick an appetizer or two, a salad, a main course, a few veggies and side dishes and a dessert or two - don't try to go crazy and over stress yourself doing too much! Get help from people who are attending if you want more dishes. I always find that people are more than willing to help out and show off one of their favorite Easter dishes. You just gotta ask!
I've included just one possible menu and loads of other recipe ideas here that you might like to choose from but do check back because y'all know me... I'll be updating as I find recipes that I've added since last Easter, and I hope to get to those "Coming Soon" recipes featured, plus any others that I can manage to squeeze in last minute!
To get back here between now and then, just look for the same graphic above in a button on the website sidebar called "Easter Menu" and click that button. That link will carry you right back here. Whether you choose to do an Easter brunch, buffet, supper or dinner, it is my hope that something here might at least provide a bit of inspiration. Happy Easter!
