Deciding what to make for Easter is always a joy. There are so many delicious flavors to choose from and meals to celebrate with – from late afternoon brunch, to a big family dinner, and of course amazing sweet treats.
Easter is celebrated world-wide and in many places it is viewed as a deeply meaningful religious holiday. The food traditions for the holiday are just as steeped in religious symbolism as the cultural event they are created and shared for. Typically symbolism for the holiday revolves around rebirth and renewal, which is where we get symbols such as the bunny and egg.
One of the most iconic Easter symbols is the simple egg. Most people immediately think of hard boiled and dyed eggs, deviled eggs, stuffed eggs, or chocolate eggs in treat baskets. Eggs have become a decoration, toy, treat, and featured ingredient in a wide variety of Easter dishes.
