8 Tips for Easter dinner

When setting a table, the sweetest, simple touch can make a difference. What better time to get out Grandma’s dishes than for big family celebrations? Here are 8 easy ways to make your table special for Easter Sunday!

 

Pretty posies make for an old-fashioned welcome on a front door. Large blooms like peonies or lilacs can be tucked into water-filled vintage-style bottles, then wrapped in wide ribbon and secured to a wreath hanger.

A can’t-go-wrong mix of vintage and new tableware is always a fun and different way to serve up dinner...so go ahead and choose all your favorites.

Look for vintage-style seed packets next time you’re at the flea market or garden store. Cut a small hole in the top and bottom and thread onto short twigs. Poke down into tiny terra cotta pots and hold in place with a little potting soil. They’ll make great place markers or, when grouped together, a clever centerpiece!

Fill a few different sized jars with colorful jellybeans or pastel candies and then nestle a tea light inside for a warm glow. Works great with dried beans or rice too for a natural look.

Eggshell plantings take a little planning ahead, but what better way to welcome spring? Carefully  empty the eggs into a bowl, being sure to leave most of the shell intact. A spoon tapped on top is an easy way to accomplish this. Once empty, rinse and dry the shells. Fill with a few spoonfuls of potting mix and they’ll be ready to sit in the center of your table.

Kids coming for dinner? Set up a separate table for them and use a sheet of butcher paper for the tablecloth. Place a bucket filled with markers, crayons and stickers in the middle...they’ll have a blast!

Use mini cookie cutters to cut toasted bread into charming shapes to serve alongside savory dips, spreads and salads. A fun way to cut cucumber slices too!

If you’re setting a long table for a big family gathering, several small centerpieces will break up the length. Tuck in mini baskets holding a colored egg or a bunny peeking out from behind candlesticks. A sprinkle of jelly beans down the center is a whimsical touch.

This classic Easter dish has a secret that you probably already have in your pantry! The recipe appears in our cookbook, 101 Cozy Casseroles.

Lynnette Zaunmiller from San Tan Valley, Arizona shared this recipe with us. She writes, "My mother used to make this recipe quite often...there were three of us girls and we all loved it!"

3 potatoes, peeled and sliced
6 slices bacon, halved

3 T. fried chicken coating mix
1/2 t. salt

Easter DIY: Upcycled Table Runner

Bring something new to the table

We can never pass by the baskets filled with vintage linens at the flea market, can you? There's just something magical about the worn-soft feel of the towels, aprons and, our favorite, handcrafted doilies. Far from musty-dusty, these delicate beauties can be floral or geometric...sometimes there's even a touch of sweet embroidery in the center or along the edges.

But what to do with your collection? Today, we're sharing a DIY table runner that'll make those darling doilies the star of the table once again...just in time for Easter! Get all the details below.

 

Vintage Doily Table Runner
It's easier than you'd think to put a modern twist on these old-fashioned table-toppers!

Before you get started...

Choose doilies from your collection that are in the very best condition. You can choose a variety of shapes and sizes or select similar sizes for a more uniform look. Before working with them, hand-wash, line dry, and gently press with a cool iron all doilies you've chosen.

Here's what you'll need:

• An assortment of doilies
• Matching all-purpose sewing thread
• Hand-sewing needle

Sewing Instructions

1. Arrange the doilies into any shape: a strip, a square for a square table, or a circle.You can leave spaces between some of the doilies to add visual interest, but it isn’t necessary to do so. Start by laying out the largest doilies first, and then fill in with smaller ones.You can overlap them or sew them edge-to-edge. To connect them, simply use a needle and thread to hand-tack the doilies together on the underside.

2. If you’re making a piece for a round table, start with a center doily and work outward in a spiral shape. To give a circular piece maximum visual effect, size it to leave 3" between the finished edge and the edge of the table.

Measure Up

The dimensions of your runner will depend on the size and number of the doilies you have and the dimensions of the table or other surface where you want to display it. Our sample, which we made for a 24" x 50" rectangular table, is about 16" wide and 70" long. This allows about 8–10" of overhang at either end of the table.

 

Keep on sewing! Here are a few more stiched projects you'll love...

Today's inspiration comes from some of our favorite bloggers, and each idea is a sweet surprise. Pick up a few packs of Peeps and let's get creative.

Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in extracts. Spoon 1/2 c. batter into each of 4 greased and floured 5"x3" mini loaf pans. Gently stir cranberry sauce. Spoon 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce over batter in each pan and spread lightly to edges; sprinkle 3 tablespoons pecans over cranberry sauce in each pan. Repeat layers in each pan using remaining batter, cranberry sauce and pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 48 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack 15 minutes, remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack. While rolls cool, combine powdered sugar, whipping cream and almond extract in a bowl; mix well to a glaze consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled cakes. Makes 4 mini coffee cakes.
