Angel Food Cake

Oven-Baked Sea Bass

"This is a simple recipe if you're short on time and ingredients. One tip: If you plan on adding wine/vinegar, it's better to pour that on the fish first, then add the garlic mixture or you'll end up washing the mixture off."

Fruity & Spiced Hot Cross Buns

Fresh Green Bean Casserole

"This was delicious. I used more onions and mushrooms than called for. Next time I would probably cut the amount of cheese in half, but overall this was a winner with everyone."

Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole

"This is close to Cracker Barrel's version. Thaw the hash browns first otherwise it gets watery. I added more cheese and stirred about halfway through — it helped crisp things up."

Easter Nests with Jelly Bean Eggs
