Tips for Hosting a Successful Easter Brunch

  • Make the menu before hand – If you’re entertaining this year, get your menu done pronto!  Making the menu can be the most challenging part of any entertaining, so having it done well in advance will give you more peace of mind.
  • Grocery shopping – Try not to add to stress by last minute shopping.  Shop early in the week and pick the fresh things as close to event as possible.
  • Do as much beforehand as you can -When it comes to food prep and entertaining, do as much as you can in the days leading up to the event. 
  • Make sure you have enough oven space – I’ve learned this one the hard way over the years.  Make sure you are not relying on your one oven at the same time for many different dishes. 
  • Set your table the day before – Whether you are having a sit down brunch or a buffet, make sure you have it all set up the day before you plan to entertain.  It will save you a whole lot of stress the morning of your Easter brunch.
  • Make a drinks station – this works well if you are hosting a larger crowd.  It’s difficult to keep up with serving people tea/coffee and cold drinks.  So, why not make a place in your kitchen or entertaining area where you can have everything set up so guests can help themselves.  
  • Pour yourself a drink, you’ve earned it!
