EASTER CUT-OUT COOKIES:
If you have any cute Easter cookie cutters use them to make some yummy treats. We tried Nigella Lawson’s butter cookie recipe( http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nigella-lawson/cut-out-cookies-recipe/index.html) to make our little bunnies.

FOOD
BIG FAMILY DINNER:
Do you host a special dinner for Easter? Let your children help plan and cook for the big dinner.
Are you attending a special Easter dinner? Let your kids help you make an appetizer, salad or side dish to bring with you.
CHOCOLATE EGG CAKE:
This was my eldest son’s idea one Easter. Bake a rectangular chocolate cake (in a 9 x 13 pan) using your favourite recipe or from your favourite cookbook (or search online). Cut the cooked cake into an oval shape and lay on a serving plate or tray to decorate. Ice the cake (let your child choose the colour of icing) and then let your child decorate it like an Easter egg using candies.
Easter Paska Bread:
Paska is a Ukrainian Easter Bread. In the Ukrainian tradition families fill their Easter baskets with Easter eggs, Easter bread (paska), sausage, butter, salt and other ceremonial foods on Easter Saturday. On Easter Sunday morning, the baskets are blessed at Church, and afterwards everyone returns home to feast on the eggs, cold meats, and other goods that were blessed.
My sons have both made this at school and one year I hope to try it myself. Here is a recipe for you to check out: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/paska-easter-bread/
BUNNY CAKE:
My Mom made this one year when my son's birthday fell on Easter weekend. It's a rectangular vanilla cake cut into a Bunny Shape and decorated with candy, coconut and a ribbon.
Here are a few fun ideas for your Easter Weekend!
