Easter Entertaining
With Easter just around the corner and school holidays about to kick off, I wanted to put together some entertaining ideas for you guys that are simple, quick to make, no fuss, DELICIOUS and not too pricey – the kind of stuff I will be cooking, and enjoying.
We always have a house full of visitors for Easter – before my sister and Mum moved down here to the Highlands, we would host them and over the past few years my sister has come up from Melbourne with her kids to stay for the weekend.
We have our annual Easter markets in the village that sees lots of visitors and LOTS of volunteer work for us, so I need to create food that can be easily whipped up, pulled out of the freezer or created by using the odd shortcut or cheat that no one needs to know about. After a very long school term, this Mum doesn’t have much left in the tank.
I always love to use some shortcuts where I can, as right now I’m flat out with the girls and the shop. I try and use a little store bought, mixed in with a little homemade when it comes to creating some tasty food for Easter.
A little store bought, a little home made. Low effort, high impact. I know you guys love this stuff, because you tell me, you cook the food, you grab the products, tag me in your photos and let me know in the comments. So, this Easter I have a few more great ideas that you can use when planning your Easter entertaining menu.
Lots of you will be looking at seafood for Good Friday, so I thought I would share a great idea I have used to make both the kids AND adults happy. Whip up a huge platter of these and everyone will gobble them up. A simple fish soft roll with homemade tartar sauce.
- Frozen Fish Fillets
- Lettuce
- Soft bread rolls
For the tartar sauce:
- Whole Egg Mayo
- Bunch dill (finely chopped)
- Handful bread & butter pickled cucumbers
- Handful capers
- Squeeze lemon juice
- Salt & Pepper
