Easter Recipes

Get firm whites and creamy yolks every time you cook eggs.

Some people describe pizza rustica as an Italian meat-filled quiche, but I think this traditional Easter recipe is way closer to a savory cheesecake filled with a massive amount of goodness. The light, flaky crust holds together an embarrassment of riches--sausage, smoked ham, salami, and pepperoni, plus ricotta, mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano cheeses. It's definitely not like pizza! Note: To be sure you have enough dough for the crust, you might want to double the dough recipe!

How to make cinnamon roll bunnies.

Makes even tough asparagus, tender and tasty! Try using vinaigrette dressing in place of the butter too.

The easiest way to get perfect Hollandaise sauce is to use a blender. This recipe has all the same ingredients as the classic, but no double boiler and no chance of the sauce separating. I love the lemony flavor on fresh steamed asparagus!

These side dishes are the real showstoppers for your Easter spread.

This is such a great dish! You can get creative by adding more options like water chestnuts, nuts, green onion, shrimp... the list is endless. This recipe was a accidental mixture that has been a hit over and over.

This is a very fun recipe to follow, because Grandma makes it sweet and simple. This pie is thickened with cornstarch and flour in addition to egg yolks, and contains no milk.

This recipe is much better than the standard mushroom soup and French fried onion version.

I came up with the glaze for this ham using ingredients on hand and it's the best I've ever tasted. If you have any glaze left over, you can add it to the pan drippings with a little flour or cornstarch and make a nice sauce to accompany the meat. Use the bone and ham trimmings to make soup afterwards.

This is a tried-and-true, old-fashioned coconut cream pie. Took many years of searching and baking to find the right one and this is it! Enjoy!

This ham tastes very much like the famous honey baked ham but costs much less, and there's no need to fight the crowds at holiday time. You can even buy the ham presliced to make it easier and more like the original. It is very good. (I do this while preparing the rest of the meal in the kitchen so that I don't forget to baste!)

My Granny made this for Easter dinner. We were all sitting at the table commenting on how delicious it was. She sat down took a bite and sighed, Ahhh, I'll never make this again. We all told her she was crazy and asked for the recipe.

I've tried many carrot cakes, and this is my favorite recipe. If you don't like pecans, feel free to leave them out.

Banana Cream Pie is one of the yummiest things on earth and this is a great one.

The pie makes its own crust. Just mix in a blender, bake and serve warm. You may leave out coconut if you wish.

This is the way my mother always made her scalloped potatoes. The measurements are taken from other recipes because she always just winged it, but the method is the same. The key is to heat the milk first!

This is my mom's holiday ham recipe. She would cook this easy recipe on my birthday. Made with maraschino cherries, sliced pineapples, brown sugar, honey and much more yummy ingredients. You'll love this ham dinner, and it's not just for the holidays, but great any time of year!

Overnight Eggs Benedict! Easy to make ahead, perfect for brunch or a special occasion or overnight house guests.

These buns are sooo good hot from the oven when they're gooey and warm.

My family loves ham like this. Sweetly seasoned ham roasted with moist heat is a delicious way to celebrate special occasions. If using a pre-cooked ham, follow the directions on the package for baking times.
