Perhaps it&rsquo;s the combination of warmer weather, beautiful spring produce, and let&rsquo;s be honest, chocolate bunnies! In my family, Easter often starts with a drizzle of creamy hollandaise sauce on top of eggs Benedict or an assortment of deviled eggs (I have multiple options below!). For dinner, classic options like baked ham, lamb chops, or roast chicken are usually served, with plenty of colorful spring sides. Here&rsquo;s what you&rsquo;ll love about my family&rsquo;s Easter recipes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>They&rsquo;re foolproof recipes<\/strong>.
