Easter Preparations

Am I the only person who can't believe Easter is only a few weeks away? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I love celebrating Easter for one big reason: the food!

Thanksgiving may get the glory for being the favorite "food" holiday, but for me, it's Easter because I get to eat brunch foods. (Which I love way more than turkey and potatoes.)

My mom called me the other day to start figuring out what to do for Easter this year and I made the suggestion; why don't we go out for brunch instead? Since this apple doesn't far from the don't-enjoy-cooking tree, my mom happily agreed, and we started coming up with an Easter brunch option list. Here are five that made our list right away...
