5 Easy and Inexpensive Easter Recipes

Don't Spend One Minute Over a Hot Stove This Easter

We are "hopping" closer to Easter '20 with each passing day. In case you haven't marked your calendar, Easter falls on Sunday, April 12 this year. Yes, it's already time to start preparing! If your life is anything like mine-busy, overbooked and overloaded, having the family over for an Easter feast might seem a bit overwhelming.

Easter is a time to enjoy family, create fond memories for the kids and gobble down goodies. It is NOT a holiday that should be spent slaving in the kitchen, stressed out, placing an even greater burden on your already distressed bank balance.

I have five easy Easter recipes for you that will make this holiday fun, hassle-free and most of all, delicious. Plus, you won't spend one minute over a hot flame...you won't have to dig deep in your pockets to make this a hoppin' Easter holiday.
