Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

80 Easter Recipes

The best recipes to celebrate Easter dinner! From easy mains like ham to strawberry desserts, carrot side dishes, asparagus eggs, etc.

Easter is coming up and that means that it is time to start thinking about your menu! The Easter long weekend provides plenty of opportunities for feasting whether it be a special long weekend breakfast or brunch or appetizers for an Easter get-together and the big family Easter Sunday dinner. Most of the focus on Easter weekend will go to the Easter Sunday dinner which will most likely be a big meal with the centre piece likely being a roast and it can be a ham, a turkey, beef or even lamb! Of course you will need some tasty sides to go with your main and lets not forget about dessert! Although I really enjoy a nice big roast for Easter dinner I sometimes like to change things up a bit and salmon or lamb tagine is a great way to go. With the extra time on the long weekend I like to do at least one special breakfast or brunch and there are plenty of great ways to go! No matter what your plans are for your Easter weekend dining, you cannot go wrong with one or more of these tasty dishes!

    We had our feast yesterday – Turkey and mm was it great – no ham this year – today we had Turkey Rice Veggie soup and a bit of most of what was left over went into the soup – except for the mashed potatoes – have plans for that tomorrow for breakfast – my better half had to work this weekend so I got to sleep in today – made soup from the turkey carcass and with most of the left overs from the meal I prepared yesterday. Have been enjoying all your great stuff here Kevin and look forward to many more great things to come..
