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.
Chocolate Covered Katie is one of the top 25 food websites in America, and Katie has been featured on The Today Show, CNN, Fox, The Huffington Post, and ABC's 5 O'clock News. Her favorite food is chocolate, and she believes in eating dessert every single day.
what a fun ANd TASTY roundup!! id choose….. umm all of the above?!?
we used to celebrate easter with fun baskets and such, but not so much anymore!— i used to LOVe easter egg hunting!
Strawberry shortcake and coconut cake. Those are really the only foods that say easter to me. Your eats all look amazing and perfect for this weekend! I hope you have a great weekend!
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 🙁
LOL my sister just arrived from Boston. I told her that no matter what, she MUST leave the cold weather there! Thankfully, she obliged, and it’s warm here. (Usually, it rains every time she visits!)
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! 😀
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 🙂
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…
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!! 😛
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?
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!)
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!
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.
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!
Hmm, comments on the carrot cake post are closed. I hate a bite of a carrot cake donut today. Gluten-free and vegan, believe it or not. So good! Happy Easter!

Ooh I remember you once mentioned sweet potato perogies! Those sounded incredible!
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.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I love those cakes! SO cute!
