Planning an Easter Brunch
The children wake up bright and early to look for the eggs the Easter bunny has left them. Families shuffle off to church in lace, ribbons and white patent leather shoes. What is left to do for the rest of the day? An Easter brunch is a great way to spend time with family, reflect on your spirituality and not waste the new clothes you purchased that will be closeted until next Easter.
If you are planning to host the Easter brunch at home, take the time to make it special. A floral centerpieces and decorations will make the perfect addition to your party. When the children are done eatting and the adults want to linger a few children's activities is a great idea to keep them occupied.
Traditionally an Easter meal consists of ham, lamb or some kind of small game bird. But, brunch food items are often more casual and might be the way to go if you are having a lot of people. Investigate recipes that consist of ham or have ham in it. Finger foods are good, or anything that you would find on a regular buffet table. Since it is Easter, a holiday that consists of hard boiling eggs, consider using the eggs in your brunch recipes. Eggs can be served on a piece of lightly toasted bread with a white sauce or you can make deviled or stuffed eggs. Almost any meat, vegetable, or fish can be prepared and added to make an appetizing filling to your stuffed eggs. To spruce up your buffet table, decorative plates, napkins and cups, etc. would add the finishing touches to your brunch. Easter party favors are a fun way to end your Easter brunch and provide a keepsake for your guests.
