Here's what nobody tells you about Easter meals 👇

The main dish gets the credit.
The sides get demolished.

Real talk: I've watched families skip seconds on ham just to load up on sides instead.

🥔 Crockpot cheesy hashbrowns (because you need oven space)
🌽 Jiffy corn pudding (shockingly good for how easy it is)
🥕 Butter roasted carrots (even kids eat these)

The mistake most people make? Complicated sides that stress you out.

These are mostly make-ahead or hands-off.

Because Easter meals should feel special, not exhausting.

What's the one side dish that HAS to be on your Easter table, or it doesn't feel right?

There are 30 more sides that are just as easy and twice as impressive, linked below.

Made it to Austin for our Mastermind and already I am stuffed and learning a lot! Wha a great bunch!

This dog won the new home lottery. We’re still grieving Melly, but he’s making us laugh and finishing our yogurt ❤️ Michael is trying to turn him into a hunting bro… but he just wants to play with his friends and eat peanut butter.

My back finally healed and things had been going SO well - I was running! But I seem to have done something that pi**ed off my SI joint and when I say excruciating pain 😣

So if I have appeared to be in a dark place… it’s because I am. I haven’t been able to find a position to relax (or sleep) for a week now - so Gilmore girls, a heating pad, and the dog have been keeping me company. My husband has been spoiling me, so I watched sports with him 😆

Fingers crossed this will pass soon 😑
