Easter Sunday Collection
A mix of fresh, spring-inspired recipes, brunch favorites, and simple sweets made for a table that feels bright, seasonal, and easy to gather around.
These small lemon ricotta cakes are soft, bright, and lightly sweet, which makes them especially nice for a spring table. The ricotta keeps the crumb tender while fresh lemon brings a clean, sunny flavor that feels right for Easter. I like finishing them with a simple vanilla glaze and a small “nest” of toasted coconut with a few pastel candies. They look festive and hold beautifully for brunch or an afternoon gathering.
Corned beef and cabbage is the St. Patrick's Day dish. The one that fills the whole house with that unmistakable savory, spiced aroma the second it hits the pot. This version keeps everything approachable. No specialty ingredients, no fuss. Just a beautifully briny brisket, tender vegetables, and a pot of braising liquid that tastes like it's been going all day (because it has, and that is the whole point).
These Cinnamon Maple Skillet Apples are everything cozy about fall wrapped into one simple side dish. The apples soften as they cook in a buttery cinnamon glaze, creating this warm, syrupy goodness that’s perfect alongside roasted meats—or even spooned over pancakes or ice cream.
