Hi again all of my foodie [and non-foodie] friends! I have something kind of cool to bring to you. Last night and again this morning I was tagged by two of my foodie buddies for an Easter Round-Up or Easter Tag. A special thank you to This Southern Lady Cooks & Mindy over at Whiski Business for thinking of me!
You all know what tag is, right? Well today I am not physically chasing anybody, nor do I believe anybody is chasing me. I hope nobody is. However, us foodies are chasing down some of our favorite Holiday recipes to blog about. It’s a cool way to publicize A LOT of ideas for those of you [and me] who are a first time Easter – dinner – maker! Oh, yes, you heard it right! I have never made an Easter dinner on my own. In fact, before this year I played a minimal part in Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts, too. I made it out of those situations just fine, so I am not so fearful for Easter.
It is great to see my new friends out there joining together to create an ULTIMATE list of Easter ideas. While I have a game-plan for my first Easter, all of these things will come in handy for the years to come. Yep, I said YEARS! You ALL are stuck with me! In fact, a lot of the recipes can easily be created any day during the year – you are not harnessed to this weekend only.
So let’s get down to it. Here is what you will need to do to play in this game.
- You have to share between 5 and 10 recipe suggestions for Easter
- Once you make your selections, make sure you have your photo and link the photos back to your recipe
- After you do all of these easy things, link it to 10 bloggers for an invitation to do the same!
Here are my choices. I apologize in advance because I am relatively new to the foodie scene. So some of my suggestions come from the same meal!
First, I am starting with a breakfast/brunch that became an instant favorite: Eggies in a Hole
For my appetizer I think you will all love these Apple & Blue Cheese Tartlets [scroll down]
For the entrée, why not try to switch it up a bit. Instead of a ham, take a look at this juicy Prime Rib with Au Jus [scroll down]
For a side dish, try my favorite Gorgonzola Mashed Potatoes
What holiday is complete without stuffing? Try this amazing Cornbread Stuffing [scroll down]
To complete the main course, don’t forget some Buttermilk Biscuits
For a dessert, try this Sweet Cherry Pie [scroll down]
If a cherry pie is too heavy for you, try this light, sweet and amazing Coffee Affogato
I hope somebody can find my suggestions useful. I really loved eating my selections. In fact, I want to make them all right now and stuff my face. It’s still pretty early here, so I do not think it is appropriate!
I hope you all enjoy
Now to Tag my Foodie Friends. I'm still developing friendships, and I'm not sure I can retag who tagged me, so here is who I picked:
And there you have it! My picks for Easter suggestions and my bloggie friends! I hope you all give it a try! It's pretty fun, actually!
Happy Easter!! :)
