Healthy Easter Ideas

No carrot cake?!

When compiling my Easter recipes, the carrot-cake posts overwhelmed me… I’ve posted over ten of ’em. So, in order to not write the longest-ever blog post, I’m saving all the carrot recipes for a separate entry.

Today’s recipe round-up is just a compilation of recipes that remind me of Easter or springtime.

    The picture of the pina colada cupcakes is so beautiful–I love the daffodils in the background!
    I need to go out and buy some flowers today to help me forget about the fact that it is still in the 40s in Boston 🙁

  2. Jess says

    ty for the ideas; i’m not sure what my mom wants to do…typically, we have brunch, so a breakfast recipe might be good

  3. The Teenage Taste says

    Anything with citrus and berries in it reminds me of spring. Also bright green salads and Green Monsters!
    This year I am in charge of making dessert for my family’s Easter gathering. I’m making an Angel Food cake, cutting it into 2 layers and filling it with pineapples, whipped cream, and strawberries. It’s a family favorite! 😀

  4. Emma says

    I made some wild cherry truffles and rose-pistachio fudge for my friends and family- all raw and vegan 🙂 This post is wonderful – your photos are becoming spectacular girlie! good work 🙂

  5. McKella says

    I think I’m taking a salad to an Easter party but I’m not sure what it’ll be though.
    Green salads with strawberries remind me of spring. Asparagus, coleslaw, and cadbury eggs…

  6. Holly @ The Runny Egg says

    The chick/egg cake is so adorable!!! Oh my gosh how cute.

    I’m going to make Peeps Smores (from J3nn.net) on Sunday!

  7. Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says

    AWW this is all so CUTE!! I love the chick and the bunny cakes- adorable!! Those truffles are calling to me though, and those mini muffins, and the cupcakes…oh just EVERYTHING!! 😛

  8. Faith @ lovelyascharged says

    I’m hosting Easter for my family for the first time ever this year…I guess that means I’m all grown up? (Or something like that, haha.) I’m doing a lemon cream pasta with capers, green beans, baked tofu (my grandma is bringing chicken for the meat-eaters) and the apple braid bread that’s been floating around the blog world. The only thing I have left to decide on is a flavoring for the tofu that would complement the rest of the meal! I was thinking maybe lemon pepper, but do you think that would be lemon overload with the pasta?

    • Chocolate-Covered Katie says

      Hmmm… I don’t know :-?. Maybe they’d compliment each other? After all, you don’t want to introduce too many new flavors. So I think it sounds good! Otherwise, I’d go with something simple, like just a plain maple or soy sauce-based marinade… but truly, your idea sounds even yummier! (And so fancy!)

  9. Beth @ naturallyyoursbeth says

    I have never used lavender for anything before. I’ll have to try it! Thanks for the idea 🙂

  10. Moni'sMeals says

    Katie! I love you for this post. I am all over the samoa truffles and the lemon minis. Yippee. 🙂 I hope to make both.

    Happy Easter to you Doll!

    Not making anything special for Easter. We are spending the day together, but Scott doesn’t celebrate Easter and we dont have family out here so we are just going to do the Easter Bunny, some time with friends, and keep food the same as always: casual and easy!

    Love all our dessert ideas & Happy Easter!

  12. Mary @ Bites and Bliss says

    I already made a huge batch os Easter cookies that took me almost 2 days to complete..so I’m Easter-baked-out already!

  13. kathleen says

    these easter ideas are great. i have been sitting around all morning wondering what treats i should make myself for easter. especially since, i just ate my last raw macaroon. sigh. i will have to try your girl scout samoas truffles.

  14. Jennifer JCD says

    We are making homemade perogies for Easter. They are my husband’s favourite food and he requests them at every holiday. We also made some coconut fudge babies in egg shapes so they look like mini eggs. That was fun. Other springtime foods for me include banana butter ice cream (made with peabutter or frozen berries), a big salad made with sui choy, fresh salsa, and grilled asparagus. Yummy! Hurray for spring!

  15. Dalai Lina says

    I really love the idea of a recipe for only 2 muffins, because I will eat whatever I make. You would think I grew up in the depression era.

  16. BroccoliHut says

    Great suggestions! I still haven’t decided what I’ll make for the occasion…guess I need to get on that!
    Asparagus always makes me think of spring:)

  17. Omie says

    OMG these all look so good!!!!!!!!! I’m thinking coconut easter bunnies are a must-try, but really I just want them all!

  18. Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free says

    Happy Easter, Katie!!! Have a great day 🙂

    And you inspired me to make muffins for easter! Alas, we didn’t have any carrots, so I made lemon blueberry….oh well-still tasty 😛
