Holidays, Easter Tablescape and recipes

Here we are, almost half way through April
with Easter on the horizon!

I am going to be spending this next week
doing a little more decorating and prepping
for our family celebration on Sunday

I have been playing with an Easter table in the foyer,
but fingers crossed, next Sunday we will be on the patio
enjoying a sunny Spring day

For now, Professor MacBunny is overseeing things inside

He’s making sure Oreo bunny isn’t up to any mischief…


Oreo bunny insisted on serving black and white carrots 🙂

The centerpiece is a grande martini holding colorful ribbons
and a nest of Easter eggs


Happy Dots glassware matches
the MacKenzie-Childs bunny dot cake plate {no longer available}

I have been looking through recipes and planning our menu
We will be having a late lunch after the grands hunt Easter eggs
Of course, my thoughts went to dessert first…
Baby Carrot Cakes with Brown Sugar Icing and White Chocolate Glaze

Or these easy Magic Lemon Bars

Everyone will get a kick out of Cottontail Bunny Bottom Cookies

If you’re short on time, buy a cake from the bakery or deli
and decorate it with candy carrots

🥕 Here are some other fun and different ideas
for your Easter menu 🐇
Easter Flatbread {carrots and Brussels sprouts}

Cheesy Asparagus & Prosciutto Pastries


Spring has Sprung Puff Pastry Pie

Carrot Soup with Coconut Cream

Time to get busy on those last minute holiday preparations!

Be sure to stop by Tuesday
when I will be joining a very talented group of bloggers
for an Easter on a Tray Blog Tour!

Prayers for Ukraine

Oh Bernadette, I’m sorry, I hope you are hopping around the kitchen again soon!
Jenna, yours plans for Easter will be wonderful. I hope the weather cooperates for patio dining. Love the table and the centerpiece!
We had frost this morning, hopeful that all of my blooms will be ok! Happy Sunday!
Thank you Pam, I can’t believe Easter is Sunday!
Jenna, you are always so well prepared and planning your get togethers. Lovely table setting and I’m loving all your bunnies, especially the one on the door. Thanks for all your inspiration…….
Thanks so much Emily, planning menus is one of my favorite things to do!
Beautiful festive table set up! I love that centerpiece. Your Easter menu sounds fabulous.
Thanks so much Angie!
Wonderful inspiration for those of us who have not even begun planning.😱
haha, thank you Linda!
Loving all the pictures and your food pictures always make my mouth water! I haven’t done too much decorating for Easter I am afraid. This retirement life has caused me to have fun doing other things I am afraid. LOL! But, I did put up an Easter wreath on my front door. I hope your week is lovely dear lady. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I’m sure you will have a wonderful Easter celebration with your family Cindy! You remind me of one of my friends who worried she would have nothing to do when she retired and now she’s busier than ever!
Wishing you a wonderful Easter and hopefully on the patio!
Your table and centerpiece is so lovely! Enjoy your preparations!
Thanks so much Nancy, I hope you have a lovely Easter week!
Jenna, what a colorful and fun Easter table!! Your recipes look amazing — those baby carrot cakes are making my mouth water!! Happy Easter!!
Thanks so much Kim, Happy Easter to you too 🥕🐇🌷
What an absolutely gorgeous table, Jenna. That centerpiece is drop dead stunning with the blooms on the bottom. What a wonderful statement piece! And the recipes look great. I might have to do carrot cake — Rick would like that. Maybe I can half the batch so we don’t eat it forever! Have a wonderful holiday! Happy Easter!
Thanks so much Jeanie! I’m not a big fan of carrot cake, but I like the mini ones I inclluded in this post…Have a wonderful Easter!
