Hello, foodies…

If you’re one of those people that make your entire Easter meal from scratch—I’d like to shake your hand. Holiday planning takes a lot of time and that’s not a luxury I always have. So at Easter, and all my holiday meals, really, I do like to incorporate a few of QVC’s gourmet foods into my menu for a few reasons. One, the foods really are terrific. (I personally help taste-test the foods that you see on air and only the best make it through.) Two, opening the box (that arrives on my front door) is half the preparation battle. And three, it gives me more time to perfect the other dishes I am making from scratch.

If you haven’t finalized your Easter menu, I’ve combed through our selections on QVC.com and picked five items that would complement your spread. Order now, and all of these will arrive to your door in time for the holiday.

Let’s start with the main course. Here are two classic spiral-sliced hams from Smithfield. Depending on how many you’re hosting at Easter, you may only need one ham, giving you the option to keep one frozen for later. If you need both, bake both. Leftovers are always better.

And now the sides. St. Clair has been with us for many years because they’ve got GREAT food. This assortment includes all your trimmings…Southern cornbread dressing (or stuffing), classic mac and cheese casserole, broccoli and cheese casserole, and Dutch-crust sweet potato casserole. Serve all four or serve two and keep two.

That’s a Sweet Endings Sweet Georgia Coconut Bombe and it is the BOMB. Nothing will make a prettier presentation on your cake table…nor will any other dessert earn you more compliments.

If you’d rather give your guests dessert options (it IS a very important decision after all…) Sweet Endings also has this mini layer cake assortment. You’ll get three chocolate coconut, three chocolate fudge, three red velvet, and three carrot cakes.

And here’s an idea for Easter baskets, place settings, or a dessert tray. Landies Candies has an 18-piece assorted pretzel assortment in six different decadent flavors. They’re individually wrapped so they’re easy to give, but so good you’ll want to keep a few.

A very Happy Easter and Passover to you all.

 Keep it flavorful!
