Easter is my favorite of all the Christian
celebrations! This is the weekend that
we remember, reflect and celebrate that Jesus died and has risen so that we
could be forgiven in this life and have eternal life. I don’t know about you, but for me that is a
huge relief and definitely cause to celebrate!
I celebrate with lots and lots of chocolate. Easter chocolate really is the best don’t ya
think?
I also celebrate by enjoying a feast with friends and family.
I know that some of you have been
planning your menu for some time; I have seen that many of my past recipes from
Thanksgiving and Christmas being referenced.
I suspect however that most of you are like me and just getting to that
planning now, so I have put a bunch of my past recipes together to help you
with that.
