1. Brunch 

A celebratory brunch is nice because it is earlier in the day. This leaves time for that egg hunt or other traditional activities for your family and community. Plus, brunch can be as versatile or simple as you please. Take the time to make classic eggs benedict or make things easier with egg dishes like quiche and breakfast casserole. Add some sweets to the spread with Tacoma Boys’ Brioche Maple Cinnamon French Toast!

2. Dinner

Try traditional dinner or ideas or mix it up with fun new takes: This might include baked ham, scalloped potatoes, and garlic green beans. Or, go for springtime inspired recipes like Tacoma Boys’ Lemony Spring Pea Pasta With Ricotta and Taste of Home’s Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing. More ideas include an Asparagus and Cheese Tart, Grilled Lamb Chops, and One-Pot Mac and Cheese.

3. Wine

Most any celebration is bound to call for a bottle or two of wine! Those who drink wine can probably agree that a chilled glass of white or rose pairs nicely with the fresh taste of springtime ingredients and Easter food. But most everyone loves a good red too – That’s why Tacoma Boys has a wide selection of all. Try a crisp bottle of Bogle Pinot Grigio, Meadowcroft Chardonnay, or L’Ecole Grenache Rose with your meal.

4. Kid Friendly Snacks

Pastel colors are fun. Same goes for bunny and egg themed snacks like carrot sticks and hummus. Kids love to play as bunnies with carrots and everyones happy when they eat their daily dose of vegetables! Or, use food safe dyed eggs for snacks like pastel deviled eggs.
