WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO EASTER DINNER?

If you’re not in charge of the Easter ham, then it’s likely you’re going to want to bring an appetizer or side – and to me, the intoxicating plethora of sides is just as important as the Easter ham. Here are some of my favorite Easter recipes for side dishes: Million Dollar Macaroni and Cheese Garlic Butter Smashed Potatoes Honey Garlic Roasted Carrots Hashbrown Casserole BAKED Parmesan Risotto Creamy Company Mashed Potatoes Parmesan Baked Asparagus Cheesy Pesto Pull Apart Bread One Pot Pea Bacon Pasta in Mascarpone Parmesan Sauce Mushroom Risotto Scalloped Au Gratin Potatoes Perfect Soft and Fluffy Dinner Rolls Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Brown Butter Award Winning Moist Sweet Cornbread Creamy Mushroom Orzo in Asiagio Thyme Sauce Glazed Carrots Twice Baked Potatoes

Easter Salads

One of my favorite parts of spring are the salads! I was originally going to clump the salads with the side Easter recipes, but decided they needed their very own section. Unlike Easter sides that are warm and comforting, Easter Salads are cool and refreshing – everyone balances out their Easter feast with a fresh fruit salad or green salad.
I’ve also included a few phenomenal pasta salads as well that might sound intriguing (Strawberry Pasta Salad I’m looking at you) – and they are! You can never have too many Easter recipes when its’ SALAD!
