Easter Cooking, Food & Desserts

My background is one hundred percent Italian. Our traditional Easter main course has always been roast leg of lamb with roasted red potatoes. Most other people we know serve ham. Feel free to send me your traditional Easter food ideas! I'd love to add a link to them. You will also find excellent Passover recipes here!

Either way you feast, do enjoy! Good food is to be savored, devoured and appreciated. None of this diet scare on a holiday, folks! Let it go and truly enjoy your meal. You can always go back to boring food the day after. This way, your cravings will be abated and you'll feel better.

Remember to devour one of those scrumptious desserts, too! Sugar is my personal pacifier ... keeps me smiling and what could be wrong with that? In moderation ... you'll be a happier bunny for it. :-)

Browse the most amazing online candy store: Easter Candy! Shop now at CandyWarehouse.com. Amazon.com also has an excellent assortment of chocolate Easter bunnies, chicks, lollypops, chocolate boxed candy and more wonderful candy concoctions here: Amazon Easter Candy - And also see Old Time Candy Company for classic Easter candy.

And my new favorite fun candy is: Personalized M&Ms - Fill candy bowls with customized M&Ms or sprinkle them in Easter baskets. These are also perfect for filling plastic eggs for egg hunts. You can have images and your own words imprinted on M&Ms. How cool is that?!

One of my favorite finds on the Internet is delivered gourmet appetizers where you'll discover the ease and quality of appetizers to go ... simply place your order for the appetizers of your choice and they will be delivered to your door, fresh and ready to pop in the oven for a dazzling display of gorgeous bite sized yummies. Appetizers and finger foods work great at all holiday and celebration gatherings. Keep your hungry guests happy until the main course arrives with these delicious appetizers or serve as the main fare.

Holiday tables always look better with fresh cut flowers

Here's a quick Easter-inspired kitchen tip: When slicing hard boiled eggs, wet the knife or lightly spray the edge with cooking spray. No more messy eggs or yolk stuck to the knife blade! :-)
