Bruschetta is mostly made up of tomatoes, basil, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. You can definitely make your own bruschetta for this recipe, which I always encourage, fresh & homemade is always best. But sometimes it’s not possible and we need shortcuts. If you’re low on time and in need of a super quick lunch or dinner, buying pre-made bruschetta works out well, it’s basically an open and dump together recipe! Plus there’s only 3 items you need to buy.

Pasta: I like using bowtie pasta, but use any pasta shape you’d like just make sure to salt the water well when boiling

Bruschetta: I personally love the bruschetta from Trader Joe’s in the refrigerated section, but use whatever you like most. If possible try to buy a bruschetta with fresh ingredients

Parmesan Cheese: Grated parmesan cheese give this meal a nice salty, savory flavor

INGREDIENTS 
6 cups romaine lettuce chopped (about 3 small heads)
1 small red onion, diced
2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
1 red bell pepper, chopped
7 hard boiled eggs, sliced
1 lb thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped

Press sliced eggs against the glass for a layered look. Chop the remaining eggs and add them to the center to fill it in evenly.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Spoon the dressing into the center, then gently spread it outward to seal the top.

Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the dressing, then top with chopped bacon.

Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need Okay I know Easter is basically over… but you need to save this for next year 🐰✝️ Or honestly, just make it all spring long 🌸

My dad (who doesn’t bake at all) made this cake when I was little, and it’s one of my fav core Easter memories 🤍 It’s so cute, fun to get kids involved with, and instantly makes everything feel a little more fun and special!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Bake your favorite cake in two 8-inch round pans. Let them cool completely, then wrap and freeze for easier cutting.

Keep one cake whole for the face. Cut the second cake to create the ears and bow tie, then arrange everything on a platter.

Frost with white icing and cover with shredded coconut (leave a little space in the ears for pink frosting). 

Decorate with gumdrops, jelly beans, fruit punch straws, or whatever candy you have on hand!

SAVE this for spring or next Easter 🐰

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Marinade
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, sliced into tenders
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Seasoned Flour Coating
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper

Sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cracked black pepper
Salt, to taste

Oil for frying
For Serving: French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken and all marinade ingredients. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

In another bowl, whisk together all seasoned flour coating ingredients. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour coating, pressing firmly to coat. Lift and gently shake off excess flour, then place on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then dredge again in the seasoned flour coating. Return to the rack and let sit for another 15 minutes. This helps create that extra crispy texture.

In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan to 350°F. Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked.

Serve with sauce, French fries, Texas toast, and coleslaw.
