Easter

I love holidays because they’re a time to gather with family around the dinner table—one of my favorite things to do. Below is a collection of our tried and true Easter favorites.

Ham or lamb is the perfect main dish to surround with cozy sides and fresh spring vegetables (and, of course, deviled eggs).

Easter Dinner Main Dishes

Easter dinner is a time to gather and celebrate. Ham is a great choice, easy to prepare and everyone loves it. Lamb is another favorite that pairs beautifully with fresh spring vegetables.
