9 Recipes For Easter/Spring Brunch

9 Recipes For Easter/Spring Brunch

Spring is here! Even if you don’t observe Easter, this is the time to start hosting brunch at yours or simply preparing something special for the family.

When coming out of the cold months, fresh flowers on a decorated table call for an array of delicious treats and plates. I tried to incorporate protein, carbs, sweets, fresh fruit, non-dairy, greens, and everything in between to create a spread that can please everyone. If you need some meats, I recommend some baked bacon and sausage on the side!

Here are 9 recipes you can make to spring forward and celebrate some special time with family and friends.
