35 Happy Spring Recipes to Make Together This Month
Sure, April isn't all about Easter—but the dessert menu can be. We're celebrating all month long with sweet treats specially designed to help you have a happy little Easter, starting with six single-serve recipes that will upstage any candy in your baskets. Start with birds' nest-topped coconut cupcakes and end with addicting chocolate-peanut butter eggs.
Since there needs to be a tasty spread that precedes the sweets, we've come up with a menu that makes Easter entertaining easy. Pick from two impressive main dishes and pair with a selection of our four go-with-anything spring side dishes. (Hot tip: Make sure to include the Dijon-infused potato salad, no matter what.) From there, we included Passover recipes that make for an elegant Seder meal and classic Masters-inspired party snacks by Test Kitchen Professional and Hey Y'all host, Ivy Odom—the pimiento cheese-topped fried chicken sliders are an undeniable hole-in-one.
It's time to celebrate spring the only way we know how: with 35 fresh springtime recipes the whole family will love.
