Here are eleven dishes that will make it look like you’ve been planning Easter dinner for weeks:

Baked Brie

Shop the Story

 

Quiche

 

Potato Salad

 

Cobb Salad

 

Trifle

 

Deviled Eggs

Savory Galette

 

Pasta Salad

This roundup originally ran last Easter—it's being re-published today in the spirit of the holiday! 

The All for Farmers Market

We’ve joined forces with Tillamook to support All For Farmers—a coalition benefiting farmers across the nation—with a special market that gives back. Featuring Shop all-stars and a limited-edition Five Two apron, a portion of proceeds from every purchase supports American Farmland Trust’s Brighter Future Fund.

Polenta, mac and cheese, farmers' market breakfasts, smoky food & drink. These are a few of my favorite things. I was an editorial intern @Food52 in 2015!

Why does this site keep saying these aren't recipes? They might be highly adaptable and forgiving, but they are still "a set of instructions for making or preparing something, especially a food dish."

Some, at least, trend a bit more towards suggestions, but there are others that literally offer amounts and ratios.

The galette link is one of the most egregious examples, where it undermines its own claim in the text, linking to a dough recipe to follow.

I'm making baked stuffed pork chops, fresh pineapple (possibly grilled), and mixed greens including kale salad / blue cheese dressing. Dessert? White coconut cake (Pepperidge Farms) with whipped cream nest & tiny jelly beans on each slice. Easy & quick!
