Side Dishes for Easter Dinner!

I don't know why, but I can always decide what meat to serve for a meal, but side dishes take more planning sometimes. I like to try to balance the carbs in a meal and make sure that I have plenty of colorful and delicious vegetables on the table. I don't like a meal that's all in the same color group! So here's some ideas, if you haven't finished your grocery shopping, for your Easter sides. Above is Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar. Such a delicious, but yet easy dish!
My Macaroni Salad is a perfect addition to any meal and has lots of crunchy veggies. It's also wonderful to take to potlucks. I can make a meal of it alone.

Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes are so delicious served with any meat entree, and they are easy to make. With butter, sour cream and herbs, what's not to like?
For many other ideas for sides for Easter dinner, or any other meal, scroll down to my side bar and click on side dishes.
Sorry that I've not posted new recipes this week. I've not felt well enough to eat, much less cook, but am better this evening. I've got to get better as I have a ham to cook! Happy cooking my friends!

Are You Serving Easter Brunch?

It's finally spring and Easter is just a few days away! I know that many people serve an Easter brunch, so thought I'd give you a few ideas to add to your list. The photo above is Ham and Asparagus Quiche, a lovely quiche filled with ham, asparagus, cheese, eggs and herbs. Delicious!
Or, there's Spring Vegetable Frittata, filled with potatoes and asparagus and it's so easy to make. And you can click on the breakfast/brunch link, you'll find recipes for muffins, scones, pancakes and more tasty recipes that may work for your brunch. Hope you'll find some good ideas to add to your menu!
I am cooking Easter dinner this year. If you observe Easter, are you cooking this year? And, are you cooking brunch, or dinner?
