Best Italian Easter Recipe Roundup

Saturday, April 3, 2021
Easter is such a fun time for kids and the young at heart and remembering for our blessing as we join with family and friends.

Although we can't post every single classic recipe here, we have a roundup of Italian tried and true recipes made year after year.

As the years past and the family seem to get smaller from moving or those who pass on, we still make many of the traditional foods mom brought us up on.

Mom would usually start out with Pizza Rustica a deep dish meat and cheese pie, then Grain/Rice pie those two were here specialty along with Cassata which is always noticed made for dessert.

Here in our Italian family, we carry on many food traditions from Easter side dishes, large Italian meals, and fun delicious Easter Desserts.

Over the years, Mom, Grandma, Dad, and all our family gathered around for many years to celebrate their special Regional dishes from childhood,

For Catholics, Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead and our family was dedicated to these traditional values.

It is celebrated on Sunday and marks the end of Holy Week, the end of Lent comes at the end of 40 days of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving known as Lent.

Here is a roundup of recipes we enjoyed through the years to celebrate this day with family and friends.

The kids just love all the fun foods that are colorful and yummy and the love we all shared preparing them.

Fun Peep Easter Ideas

A childhood favorite, and through adulthood, I love my marshmallow peeps.

They're such a festive Easter treat, and easy to make a decorative centerpiece for the Easter dessert tables!

The Easter Holiday tables always bring a smile to everyone's face who sees my peep fest! You can get as creative as you like.

Cakes, cookies, cupcakes with just a few fun ideas for the kids and young at heart.

I even make a pretty cool adult drink!

You will love these treats and it's easy for the kids to help and a great family Easter project.

Get creative, I love coming up with new ideas every year!
