Easter 2020 is going to be very different than years past! Let’s all agree to use social distancing and enjoy these 40 Easter recipes that can be made for just the folks at home.
Okay, 2020 might take away a few things that I love. But, they will not take away my love for the Easter holiday!
The Lewis family has a lot of Easter parties. My (Hannah) parents are divorced but luckily are from the same town in Indiana so we have two extended family gatherings there.
Also, did I mention my grandmother is one of 11 kids? Yeah, it’s a BIG gathering. My mom is 1 of 4 kids, then the kids all have kids and don’t forget my sister has 3 sweet little triplets. Again, BIG gathering.
Oh, plus we go to my in-laws house! My mother in law usually finds a super cute dress for O for Easter and gets her way too many little toys. But, O loves it and I’m really bummed she’s not going to have those memories this year.
As much as I want to sit here and whine about missing out on things, I’m not going to because we can make new memories even if they include a Zoom Easter egg hunt and small batch recipes.
Thanks to my fellow blogger friends, I’ve rounded up 40 Easter recipes that can feed just the folks living in your house. Or if you are like me and plan to do some doorstep delivery snacks.
