Easter Recipe Round Up
I created this post last year and I wanted to update it with all the delicious recipes that came out in the last year that can inspire you for this Easter!
With the current state of things, I wanted to make sure I gave y’all an easy way to get all the recipes you might want for Easter in one place. That way, you can get your grocery list together ahead of time and hit the stores for what you need. If you can’t find an ingredient, just message me and I will help you, it will be my absolute pleasure to find something to replace it with. This is a large post but I think it will help you so much for planning this holiday in unusual times!
I am also working on a round up of Spring recipes, that way you can plan out as far as you like. I personally plan about a month out at a time. I keep working on my meal planning post, detailing all the steps and ways and reasons why I meal plan. I think I will work on that and get it out soon for y’all, since we all need to be a little more deliberate about shopping and eating.
