Your Easter meal, your way
By STATEPOINT

If you’ll be entertaining friends and family this Easter, make it “eggstra” special with all-day grazing and personalized options to keep everyone at your table happy. Hosting has never been easier.

Need a one-stop shop for all of your hosting essentials? Retailers have tapped into customer feedback to ensure that this Easter, it can better meet your needs. The findings uncovered that many celebrants are hoping to spend all day grazing, beginning with brunch. And, because Easter is happening well into spring this year, many are also planning to fire up their grills for the occasion.

With the majority of consumers preparing an Easter meal, and most working within a budget, chances are that you’re looking to serve up something memorable and delicious without breaking the bank.

Whether you see your Easter involving breakfast, a smorgasbord, barbecue or all the aforementioned, there’s a way to make it easy and affordable to create your Easter, your way with a fully customizable, all-day grazing experience. From brunch to dinner and everything in between, here are the high-quality seasonal favorites you can pick up in-store or have delivered for a complete Easter feast, including: Brunch favorites:

• Croissants

• Sous vide egg bites

• Caesar salad

• Brussels sprouts

• Fruit and cheese tray

• Spring muffin tray

• Ribeye steaks

• Carrot bar cake

• Fresh squeezed orange juice

• Prosecco Traditional favorites:

• Spiral ham

• Mashed potatoes

• Mac ‘n’ cheese

• Naan bites & spinach artichoke dip

• Deluxe mixed nuts

• Strawberry yogurt almonds

• Easter cake bites

• Toffee truffles Regional favorites:

• Cherry pie

• Blueberry pie Along with ensuring all your culinary bases are covered, here are a few additional ways to eliminate stress around Easter prep: 1. Simplify clean-up: Use disposable paper plates and napkins to make clean-up ongoing and simple, particularly if you’ll be encouraging guests to graze all day. Plus, they’re easier for backyard hosting, better for the planet, and commercially compostable.

2. Get a head start on gifts: Don’t wait until the last second to plan your Easter baskets. Give them a personalized touch by shopping with a retailer that offers Easter- themed sweet treats, candies, toys and books, all of which are already available online and on store shelves. Also consider festive pre-filled baskets if you’re feeling time-crunched or want to rely on the handiwork of professionals.

3. Save on décor: Easter décor doesn’t have to be complicated. Fresh flowers make for great centerpieces. Shop at retailers that offer floral freshness and back their arrangements and bouquets with a seven-day fresh-or-free guarantee. However, you can jazz things up with Easter wreaths, bunny-shaped candles and decorative eggs.

While planning a big holiday celebration can feel overwhelming, with a few simple strategies, Easter can be one of the most joyous celebrations of spring for everyone — hosts included.
