Easter Meal Ideas

In our last blog post, we set out to encourage you with our favorite Bible verses for Lent. Now, as we approach the end of the Lenten season, we would like to invite you to join us as we prepare our hearts and homes for the joyous Easter feast! As we journey through this holy time together, our hope is that together, we will ponder on the true meaning of Easter and the wonderful work of God in our lives.

The Joyous Easter Feast

Easter is a time of celebration and rejoicing as we commemorate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It reminds us that death has been defeated and new life can be found in Him. It is a time to reflect on the incredible sacrifice made for us and the amazing love of God.

We are so grateful that God gave us holidays to celebrate! He wants us to celebrate Him in faith, joy, and community. What a beautiful way to connect with others and strengthen our faith. Our prayer for you is that you will experience the true joy of Easter in your hearts and homes. As you gather with your church community and loved ones, God finds joy in you sharing meals, playing games, and partaking in other traditions that have been passed down through generations.

Easter menu ideas

As we prepare for our gatherings this Easter, we would like to share with you some delicious Easter dinner ideas that you can make for your family and friends. We hope to simplify your preparations with these tasty recipes that will surely impress your guests. As you plan your Easter dinner menu, remember, it's not just about the food itself, but also about the memories created around the table.

Mains

Many families like to serve traditional dishes on Easter, and we are no different! However, we do like trying new recipes for our go-to mains, in search of the perfect Easter dish. With an ever-active toddler running around, we are always on the lookout for simple yet delicious recipes that will wow our guests. This year, we are looking to try one of the following easy Easter dinner recipes.

Copycat Honey Baked Ham

The Easter Ham is a cherished main course for many families during Easter. This Copycat Honey Baked Ham recipe will help you recreate the same deliciousness in your own kitchen! Serve it with some deviled eggs and mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Spice-Rubbed Tenderloin with Mustard-Cream Sauce

Though not the most traditional option, this tender and flavorful beef dish is perfect for a larger gathering, as it serves 10-12 people. It's great for big families... or for those who love leftovers! If possible, try using fresh herbs for even more flavor.

Plum-Glazed Lamb

For those who want to stick to more traditional meat choices, this tasty lamb roast is a perfect option. And with only 5 minutes of prep time, it's perfect for busy Easter mornings. Serve with your favorite sides (like sugar snap peas, thinly sliced radishes, or scalloped potatoes) and enjoy the flavorful combination of sweet and savory.

Sides

When it comes to choosing sides for your Easter feast, the question isn't which one to choose, but rather, how many can you fit on your table? These dishes not only add color to the table, but also provide delicious flavors that complement the main course perfectly. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Quiche Lorraine

This classic quiche is a crowd-pleaser and can be made ahead of time, making it perfect for Easter brunch. It's also versatile, as you can add your own twist by including your favorite vegetables or meats in the filling.

Candied Carrots

The Easter table is all about colorful and vibrant dishes, and these Candied Carrots fit the bill perfectly. They are a sweet and savory addition to any Easter meal, and can even be enjoyed as a snack on their own! They are also super easy to make – just some basic ingredients you surely have at home, and it's done in 20 minutes.

Spring Asparagus

For a more sophisticated side dish, this Spring Asparagus is sure to impress your guests. It's light and refreshing, making it the perfect pairing for any main course. Plus, it utilizes one of the freshest and most beloved vegetables of spring – asparagus! For added flavor, we like to sprinkle some lemon juice and parmesan cheese on top.

Desserts

Of course, no Easter dinner is complete without some sweet treats to end the holiday meal. Here are a few dessert ideas that are perfect for Easter:

Carrot Cake Bars

These carrot cake bars are a fun twist on the classic Easter dessert. They're easy to make and can be cut into small, bite-sized pieces for everyone to enjoy. And, with a layer of cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans on top, they're sure to be a hit.

Key Lime Pie

For a refreshing and tangy dessert, try this key lime pie. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and is a great way to end a heavy meal. With only 15 minutes of bake time, it won't take up your oven space for too long. Serve with some whipped cream and lime slices for a beautiful presentation.

Paska Bread

Paska bread is a traditional Eastern European Easter dessert that is a must-have for many families. It's a sweet, yeast-based bread that is often decorated with colorful eggs and symbols of the season. We like to enjoy it with some butter and honey or as part of our Easter morning breakfast.

Setting the Easter dinner table with intention

Of course, being a Christian dinnerware company, we can't forget about the importance of setting a table that reflects our faith and values. Consider using our faith-based dinnerware sets to not only add beauty to your meal, but also to serve as a reminder of the true meaning of Easter – the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Decorating our holiday dinner tables with the Word of God is a must in our household, but the best part of our tableware is that it can be used year-round to serve as a constant reminder of our faith. We like to think of our dinnerware as our physical Bibles - no need to be overly careful! The more we use them, the more the core biblical messages become ingrained in our hearts. We also made sure to work with the best factories to create dinnerware that can withstand the test of time, in the hopes that you'll be able to pass them down through generations and continue the tradition of using them for both special and everyday occasions!

The true meaning of Easter

This Easter Sunday, as we revel in the resurrection and cherish time spent with loved ones, may our tables reflect the abundance of our blessings. If the above recipes inspire your holiday feast, it would warm our hearts to see how you've brought them to life on our tableware designed to celebrate God and His Word. Share your glorious spread with us—snap a picture of your Easter feast, featuring your favorite dishes atop our Scripture-inspired collection, and tag us in your moments of joy and celebration. Together, we're not just sharing meals, but creating memories and traditions wrapped in faith and fellowship. Happy Easter, and may your holiday be as fulfilling as the feast you prepare!
