Easter Dinner Recipes

Posted by Stephanie Gallagher Mar 21, 2008

Every holiday is better when you can spend most of the time visiting with family and friends, rather than slaving in the kitchen. With these delicious and easy recipes, you'll have a great Easter dinner -- without all the hassle.

Start with roast pork loin. A simple mustard and maple syrup glaze makes this lean cut of meat especially tasty, and this recipe is fuss-free. Just pop it in the oven and bake.

Make-ahead mashed potatoes are an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe you can prepare the night before.

Fresh asparagus with lemon is a healthy accompaniment to any meal, and makes a refreshingly spring-like vegetable on an Easter table.

And whether you're serving, pork, ham, chicken or turkey, mashed sweet potatoes complete the meal.

Lime Cool Whip Jello mold makes a refreshing sweet side dish or light dessert the whole family will enjoy.

And my low-fat carrot cake is just what everybody craves for dessert at Easter.
