    15 Healthier Easter Recipes

    A list of 15 healthier Easter recipes to share with family and friends!

    Happy Sunday! Easter is exactly 1 week from today, and a quick round-up of healthier recipes seemed appropriate.

    Since it's just the two of us down here for Easter, we typically have a few friends over that don't have family nearby. Being in the south, it's typically beautiful outside every year so making recipes that I can throw on the grill is a must. The menu is always about 85% the same, but I always like to add a bit of variety so it doesn't get boring. If you're anything like me, you've been stalking Pinterest for healthier recipes that are quick and easy.

    While I love a good ham, that's not my jam on Easter (but gimme some on Christmas!) I make lamb chops marinated with olive oil, garlic, fresh lemon juice, rosemary , salt & pepper— so much incredible flavor especially when grilled. I always have a potato side dish of sorts (this year I was thinking a grilled potato salad with fresh herbs?), throw on some grilled veggies (whatever I have on hand)– maybe a bright big fruity salad. There's only 4-5 of us so I can't go overboard!

    As I was browsing Pinterest, I pulled together 15 healthier recipes that I think you'll love! No matter when your Easter celebration is– breakfast, brunch, or dinner– these recipes have you covered!

    Breakfast/Brunch

    Dinner
