Easter Recipes

Save yourself a lot of money by making your own homemade cinnamon rolls! The dough is made in the bread machine and everything else is done by hand. 

This versatile dough makes wonderful soft, sweet dinner rolls, but can also be used for cinnamon rolls. 

My Grandfather (Sam) was famous for this cake. Everyone who knew him, knows of his famous carrot cake. He would always have some available for anyone who wanted it. We'll miss him, but his carrot cake legacy will always live on! Enjoy! 

A garlic, thyme, and olive oil marinade covers your prime rib roast for 5-star results. This “secret” recipe is a secret no more! 

This salad has lots of spinach, lots of fresh, sliced strawberries, and a delicious, sweetened oil and vinegar dressing spiked with poppy and sesame seeds. 

Here's an easy alternative to buying those famous cinnamon rolls in the mall. They taste exactly the same, and the dough is made in the bread machine. 

A rack of lamb is seared, and encrusted with Dijon mustard and garlic and rosemary flavored bread crumbs. Then it is roasted to your desired doneness. 

It doesn't take much to make rhubarb sing: some sugar, a bit of flour, and a pat or two of butter. When this lovely double-crust pie emerges from the oven, it's golden outside and sweet and luscious inside. It's especially nice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

The carrots and pineapple work together to keep this cake moist and wholesome. 

A delicately sweet brown sugar rub will make these some of the tastiest chops you'll ever eat! 

For my wedding shower everyone brought a few recipes and this is one of my favorites. It is refreshing and pretty. This salad also travels well, just save the dressing and use it just before serving. 

Five flavors blending to create a superlative pound cake. 

A beloved recipe for bread pudding, rich with milk and eggs, and chock-full of raisins, was found tucked away in a family Bible for safekeeping. It has a smooth vanilla sauce for serving warm over the pudding, too. 

This recipe makes two beautiful braided loaves of sweet egg bread. 

Exotic ras el hanout and a sweet honey sauce highlight this special lamb dish! 

A simple version of a coconut white cake shaped like a bunny head!  

Ham and cheese, fried potatoes, and an herb-seasoned omelet--all tucked inside a golden puff pastry crust. This is a special dish that's bound to impress your guests. 

Tangy crumbled goat cheese adds a creamy texture to this salad that's hearty enough to be a vegetarian meal on its own but also pairs perfectly with any main dish. 

This cake tastes so great that your guests won't know the calories are missing! 

Ok...so my mother would just kill me if she knew I made our family recipe for Choereg public. But my policy is 'why keep a good thing to myself'. Choereg is a traditional, slightly sweet bread, especially made for Easter. It is delicious for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. It takes some level of skill, but anyone used to handling yeast should not have a problem. You can find Mahleb at Middle Eastern grocery stores, especially around Easter. It will be with the spices. Please do not omit it, as this is what gives it its distinctive flavour and aroma.
