Foodie Friday: Beautiful Brunch Bites

We are in the midst of three Spring holidays - Easter, Greek Easter, and Passover. I just love it when we all celebrate together. Here's a roundup of celebration worthy and bunny approved recipes.  Think Grilled Pineapple Caprese Eggs Benedict, the prettiest Ham you ever did see, the best Bagel and Smoked Salmon Bar and more elevated options.

Make plenty of this delicious dip, as your guests are going to love it.  It's the perfect sweet treat for Easter.

Indulgent but the perfect
 accompaniment to ham.

Nordic Open Face Smoked Salmon Sandwiches
Delicate and healthy! To start, the thinly-sliced dark pumpernickel bread gets a quick toasting in the oven, then a lashing of freshly made dill mayonnaise.  Amazon has a good selection of edible flowers.

Love a good S'more? Me, too! But I am not a fan of the popular peeps. All I can think about is what's inside of them. BUT, I would make an exception for this recipe. The rainbow of colors is enough to make big kids and little kids drool!
