Springing into Action
When Peeps and parfaits become tired, try breathing some fresh life into your Easter and spring by utilizing bright flavors and cute presentations to make rainy days seem less gray.
Though we begin to shake off winter’s gray icy grip in March, April is the month where the world really comes back to life again. Bird songs fill the morning air once more, and everywhere you look flowers are bursting into life. Nothing feels better than the warm sun while breathing in that wet, life-giving green smell the ground gives off this time of year. Celebrate the ushering in of new life and bright colors by whipping up one of the following recipes that capture the delicate and playful essence of spring.
Easter Candy Bark
With bright candy sprinkles and various other bits of sugar, this super fun and easy treat is the perfect recipe to make with children. Or, surprise them by placing a bag of these homemade goodies in an Easter basket.

Lemon-Raspberry Streusel Muffins
With their dense, not-too-sweet fruity tartness, these muffins are ideal for breakfast on the go, or as eye candy on an Easter brunch spread.

Strawberry Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches
These delicate, gorgeous little sandwiches are the perfect complement to a mug of strong, dark tea on one of those April showers kind of days. With sweet, citrusy fruits, crunchy almond slivers, and the hinted bite of green onion, they will be a hit with guests at your next book club meeting or when hosting a bridal or baby shower.
