15 Easter recipes to create new family traditions!

My family is always looking for new Easter recipes to go along with the recipes that have been handed down. I have not included a deviled egg recipe, but here are 15 recipes we have made for our Easter menus in the past. Easter brunch, Easter sides, and Easter salads are included to add to your menu. The baked spiced ham makes a great Easter ham. I hope you try some of them and make them your own!

The pineapple pretzel fluff

One of the most versatile recipes is the pineapple fluff. Not only is it a great make ahead dessert, the fluff can be used as a side to contrast the salty and savory taste of the ham. The ham and pineapple go great together. Some would disagree as far as a pizza goes, but on an Easter menu, they can't be beat.

Mix and match your Easter recipes

If you are looking for a great change on the ham, use the dinner bun recipe to make a ham sandwich to go with your Easter dinner. It is a bit casual but some guests may prefer them. The loaded hash browns can be used in more than one place. Not only do they make a great appetizer, but they can be used for your Easter brunch, breakfast, or as a side with dinner! Take the Easter recipes and make them your own. They are great to mix and match!

I have recently made sure we document our meals on Christmas, New Years, and Easter in a notebook. I have included pictures and menus from the events. This is not only a great record so we can look back at what we have liked or would like to repeat for future meals, but a great record of memories for our children.

These are just some of the great dinners I have on my site. Click here to try out some more!
