Mary Anne here. No matter what your favorite childhood memory holds – Fluffy white bunnies! Hyper-competitive egg hunts! Jelly beans! – Easter, like any holiday, also brings with it high expectations when it comes to the main event — chow time! We thought we would follow what is becoming our Feast on the Cheap holiday tradition and offer several menu options to help you celebrate the day while incorporating some of your own family faves, like our Easter brunch, which features a traditional Renaissance Ricotta Pie. The menu is complete – from appetizer to dessert – and everything can be done ahead of time.
Whatever traditions your family fancies, Mariel and I wish you all a beautiful Easter Sunday filled with the brilliant warmth of sunshine and love…and lots of candy.
