Even my kids who won’t normally eat sweet potatoes gobble this up as fast as I can serve it to them!

2 Favorite Easter Recipes


I’m working on my grocery shopping list for Easter Dinner on Sunday and thought I’d share two of my favorite Easter Dinner recipes. I always prep these before heading to church and leave them on time bake in the oven so I have very little work to do when I get home!

I’ve been making these for years and they’re always winners!

Sweet Potato Casserol

I forgot to put the marshmallows on top! I honestly can’t believe I forgot them, but it still tasted good.

My poor mother-in-law, every time we go over to her house and she fixes sweet potatoes my husband remarks that hers aren’t nearly as good as mine. It is nice that I make him something that he considers better than his Mom’s cooking 🙂

Also, I doubled this recipe for my Easter dinner.

Coconut Cake

My coconut creme cake I made for Easter. It looks really pretty. I loved the cake and filling but I’m definitely making changes to the icing next time. The icing had THREE sticks of butter in it and only three Tablespoons of powdered sugar, and it definitely tasted buttery. I think next time I’ll do half the butter, make up the liquid difference with some whipping cream and add some more powdered sugar.

As far as looks go though, I was really happy with this cake.

I did Easter dinner for my in-town family this year and I made some of my favorite dishes, and some new dishes. Ham, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, salad, rolls, and cake.

Next year I think I need a few more rolls and another side, just for more variety, but I was happy with this year’s success. Later I’ll post my sweet potato casserole, and corn pudding recipes, as these are my favorites and I’m definitely making them again next year!
