Spring has sprung, Easter is nearly here. One of the most celebrated holidays is Easter and part of the reason why this holiday is so much fun is the food associated with it. If you are planning an Easter dinner with your friends or family this year, here are some awesome tips for some tasty Easter recipes.

Maple Syrup Ham and Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
One of the most popular types of food to eat during Easter is ham and you can sweeten up the flavor of ham by adding some tasty maple syrup. While your store purchased maple syrup should work, try to purchase maple syrup that is 100% pure and not made from corn syrup. Adding pure maple syrup will add a sweet, delicious taste that your friends and family will like.

You can simply complement your maple syrup ham with some yummy sweet potatoes smothered in miniature marshmallows. Sweet potatoes will be your maple syrup ham's best friend. For an added treat, add miniature marshmallows and you will surely get some smiles from children and grown-ups alike.

Easter Bunny Cookies
Even though chocolate bunnies are pivotal to Easter, cookies can also be an excellent treat. Just like Christmas cookies are fun to prepare and tasty to eat, so are Easter Bunny cookies. Most supermarkets, discount stores, and craft outlets sell Easter Bunny cookie cutters to create your favorite chocolate chip or sugar cookie into some fantastic Easter Bunny shapes.

Easter Egg Cup Cakes
Easter Egg cup cakes are a wonderful way to add enthusiasm to the holidays for your little ones. Easter Egg Cupcakes are an easy and fun way to bring color to any Easter dinner dessert. Instead of using cup cake holders, try to use small waffle cones to hold your cup cake mixture. Once baked, add coloring, sprinkles, candy, etc. to your creation.

Easter Bunny Carrot Cake
Easter Bunny carrot cake is an awesome way to add color and excitement for the whole family. What goes better with bunny rabbits than carrots and a yummy carrot cake goes with an Easter meal. You can easily purchase a carrot cake and decorate the top by hand. Many people create their own frosting adding food coloring to color the carrot cake to look like an Easter egg.

Easter Cocktails
For those grown-ups that like to top off their dinner with a delicious alcoholic beverage, there are many fun cocktails that can go with the mood of an Easter meal. For example, certain liquors come in many different colors such as grenadine for rose, blue Curacao for aqua and mixing clear liquor with assorted fruit juices for multicolored Easter drinks. For those that love a cocktail sans the alcohol, it's simple to add color to your meal with a host of fresh fruit smoothies, just by combining fresh fruit with cream or milk. Some people even add a little yogurt to the mix.
