The eggs have been found, the Easter baskets have been opened, our best clothes have been worn to Sunday morning service and now we head off to another Easter tradition - Easter brunch. Like Christmas, most Easter traditions are over with by lunch time.

The children wake up bright and early to look for the eggs the Easter bunny has left them. Families shuffle off to church in lace, ribbons and white patent leather shoes. What is left to do for the rest of the day? An Easter brunch is a great way to spend time with family, reflect on your spirituality and not waste the new clothes you purchased that will be closeted until next Easter.

Make reservations at the nice restaurant you've always wanted to try. A day with no cooking or cleaning is a holiday unto itself. If you are planning to host the Easter brunch at home, take the time to make it special.

Traditionally an Easter meal consists of ham, lamb or some kind of small game bird. But, brunch food items are often more casual and might be the way to go if you are having a lot of people. Investigate recipes that consist of ham or have ham in it. Finger foods are good, or anything that you would find on a regular buffet table. Since it is Easter, a holiday that consists of hard boiling eggs, consider using the eggs in your brunch recipes. Eggs can be served on a piece of lightly toasted bread with a white sauce or you can make deviled or stuffed eggs. Almost any meat, vegetable, or fish can be prepared and added to make an appetizing filling to your stuffed eggs.
