I am a terrible experimental cook, but I can follow a recipe! With Spring just about here, that means that Easter is coming too! Pretty pastels, colorful flowers, the Easter Bunny and of course yummy food! To help prepare for a sunny and cheerful holiday, Knouse Foods (maker of Musselman’s and Lucky Leaf products) has some tips and recipes to make entertaining a breeze!
Whether you are gathering with family and friends for brunch or dinner this Easter, here are some simple and fun ideas:
- Create a spring color scheme and fill glass vases with jellybeans of the colors you have chosen. Layer the colors, make your own designs and add spring flowers.
- Use the blossoms of tulips and daffodils to fill parceling egg cups and make small floral arrangements. Place these on a tiered petit four tray to create a centerpiece or just spread them out across the table!
- Create bunny-shaped napkin and place them on your table to compliment your Easter place setting.
- To start the day on a sweet note, serve bunny-shaped pancakes with your favorite Lucky Leaf Pie Filling on top.
- To add some kick to your Easter feast, create a cocktail that’s perfect for the season. A mix of champagne, pomegranate juice and grapefruit juice is a festive concoction that is sure to hit the spot. Want a sweeter mixture? Replace the grapefruit juice with orange juice.
- A cookie-decorating bar is fun for all ages. Supply the artists with bowls or pastel icings, sprinkles, colored sugars and popular cookie toppings to add a unique finishing touch.
- Send your guests away with edible favors like an Easter basket filled with the ingredient for a perfect S’meep – a s’more made with a Peep in place of a regular marshmallow!
Here are some yummy recipes featuring of course Knouse food products (Musselman’s Apple Sauce and Lucky Leaf:
Cherry Pineapple Surprise
In case you are concerned about High Fructose Corn Syrup, Lucky Leaf Pie filling does not have any it! This recipe is basically a dump cake, which means you dump a few ingredients in a pan and cook it – my kind of cooking! Now I am planning on making this for Easter so I don’t have a picture of my cake but I will have one after Easter.
