I love Easter. I would say that besides Thanksgiving, it is my favorite holiday. Maybe it’s because my mom never made me wear knickers like the ones my brothers wore to church or because wearing an Easter hat and little white gloves made me feel grown up. Or maybe it’s because after a long New England winter, the sign of green buds on trees and the peaty smell of melting earth just made everything feel full of promise.

I love that Easter has no stressful traditions. Who doesn’t love a good, healthily competitive Easter Egg Hunt? Seriously… can you really get stressed about a game?

I am hosting Easter Brunch and have come up with a menu that allows me to prepare a lot ahead of time. I’m attempting to avoid being covered in flour and eggs and panic minutes before my guests arrive. So here’s a starter with instructions on what to do ahead. More to come tomorrow.
