Brunch Tips for Making Easter Entertaining Easier

 

Hope everyone who celebrates, is enjoying the Easter season. This is one of my favorite times of the year. 

Easter Brunch is one of those meals you look forward to all year. Spring has sprung, and the faces of the ones you love are all around the table. But for the cooks in the house, Easter entertaining can be a bit daunting! 

Deana Karim, a dynamic entrepreneur and busy NYC mom, knows the challenges of hosting firsthand. She’s created the perfect tools to make Easter Day—and any gathering—effortless. With innovative kitchen essentials from 14 Homesand premium baking products from Good Dee’s, cooking and baking have never been easier or more enjoyable.

From Deana’s kitchen to yours, here are the trends and tips to make hosting Easter a highlight of your year:

#1: Delicious baked goods are at the heart of every brunch—ensure they are both healthy and tasty.

No Easter breakfast is complete without delectable baked treats. Store-bought is easy but packed with additives to extend shelf life, sweeten, thicken, and more. Nourish the ones you love with tastes that delight, free of the ingredients that don’t. Try these Good Dee’s low-carb, gluten-free, sugar-free baking mixes for the perfect brunch pairings: Make fluffy pancakes and waffles with Pancake Plus Keto Mix - Gluten Free and No Added Sugar, or pair delicious jam with flaky biscuits made with the Cracker Biscuit Keto Mix - Gluten Free with No Added Sugar. 

#2: Always have something savory, too!

How about this low carb, Keto dish that will knock everyone’s socks off?

Good Dee’s Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Corn Bread

• 1 Good Dee's Corn-Free Bread mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
• 10 strips of beef bacon (diced and cooked) or precooked bacon
• 8 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
• 8x4x2 loaf pan
• Chopped parsley (garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F 
2. In a mixing bowl, mix your corn-free bread mix, ACV, eggs, and butter until combined. 
3. Line your loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with non-stick spray.
4. Pour half of your batter and add a layer of bacon and cheese until covered. 
5. Add another layer of batter and repeat. 
6. Add extra cheese on top if you're feeling cheesy! 
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and the toothpick comes out clean. 
8. Allow to cool slightly and cut while warm if serving immediately. 

* For serving platters for a party, cut your slices, and when they are completely cooled, pop them in the microwave before your guests arrive to remelt the cheese. Top with chopped parsley for garnish.
