Easy Easter Entertaining

Easter is just around the corner and I am getting ready to entertain my family for Easter and to celebrate our granddaughter's first birthday. I love decorating my tables when I entertain don't you? Today I am sharing my Easter table settings and my Italian Easter menu that I hope you will enjoy!

 I was inspired by my recent visit to Pottery Barn when I was looking for an egg tray for my deviled eggs. In all my 32 years of marriage, I have never owned an egg tray! Pottery Barn has some really great spring and Easter table decor. Some of which came home with me!

How cute are these bunny salad plates and ceramic garden bunnies?

I am actually using the centerpiece from my Serenbe designer showhouse from last fall. Even though the orchid blooms have dropped it was a perfect centerpiece to create a woodlands tablescape. ( I have a green designer’s thumb and love seeing my orchids bloom over and over again! You will see more of my designer showhouse room in the May issue of Atlanta homes & Lifestyles!)

I actually set the table up in my dining room because I worry about the cold temperatures and the pollen that will be here for Easter. As darling as this looks green pollen is all over everything in the south and I can’t keep the table decorated this way for Easter. All my houseplants are now on my dining terrace which creates a garden effect I can enjoy until winter.

The outfit that I'm wearing was gifted to me from Chico's Off the Rack. I am often asked to do collaborations  with brands whose audience is midlife women. I am fortunate to work with companies that align with my audience. 

​THE EASTER MENU

​Click to see the recipes. It doesn’t look like a lot of food but it’s so filling and it’s about sharing our table with family at Easter.

​Manicotti

Crepes Style Manicotti

​Italian arancini rice balls stuffed with pork ragu and served with marinara sauce

​Beef Tenderloin Roast

​Green Beans with Almonds and Caramelized Onions

​Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

​Carrot Cake(J Paul Getty Museum Carrot Cake)

This is the very same menu I will be serving for Easter. I make it every year and my Italian family in New Jersey does too. Lot of prep work goes into making homemade Italian meals and entertaining at the holidays.

​However, this year will be an extra special Easter for us as we celebrate the first birthday of our little Olivia Lynnlee!
