Last-Minute Easter Recipes

Okay. DON'T PANIC! Yes, Easter is just a few days away and you still have a ton of things to do. And, yes, it's all about YOU because NO ONE else is helping. Correct?

Take a deep breath. Exhale. All will be fine. And, remember, "fine" rhymes with "wine." Pour yourself a glass. Plop in some ice cubes.

Here are some pretty simple, common-sense recipes that people will love from Kitchen Bounty you might want to try. Just click on the underlined recipe name.

BAKED CARROTS

Nothing says EASTER like carrots. So why aren't carrots ever served with the ham or lamb? Ham? These carrots are just terrific and guests and family will ask you for the recipe. They will become a family favorite. Make ahead and re-warm before serving.

MASHED POTATOES

The most simple of ingredients take ordinary potatoes to the extraordinary. Make ahead and re-warm before serving.

APPLES and ONIONS

If you're making a baked ham, go for it!
Kitchen Bounty: Apple-Onion Casserole

APPLESAUCE

Okay, "apples and onions" is too complicated. I got you covered. Make this homemade applesauce and your guests and family will be having not seconds .... but thirds.

SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES

I can't think of a better companion to ham than sweet potatoes and apples.

Did you buy a pre-purchased dessert but would like to serve something homemade that says, "YEA, I made this!!!!!"? I suggest these two recipes. The lemon cake is bliss and sooooooooo easy. Cut it into squares. The raspberry cake requires a bit more beating or mixing, but so divine for a spring dessert.

EASTER BREAKFAST
