Whether you celebrate or not, Easter weekend is upon us, and that means so are Easter treats! I wanted to share with you a gluten-free Hot Cross Bun recipe I discovered recently and another traditional recipe. I’ve never made my own hot cross buns, and it was so much fun! Scroll to the end of this blog for the recipe.
There are many ways to celebrate Easter in a joyful way! Here are some ideas:
1. Easter Egg Hunt: Organize an egg hunt in your backyard or at a local park. Hide colorful Easter eggs and let everyone, young and old, enjoy the thrill of searching for them.
2. Decorate Easter Eggs: Get creative and decorate Easter eggs with various colors, designs, and patterns. You can use paint, markers, stickers, or even try natural dyes for a unique touch.
3. Bake Easter Treats: Spend some time in the kitchen and bake delicious Easter-themed treats like hot cross buns, carrot cake, or sugar cookies. Get the whole family involved and have fun decorating them.
4. Attend Church Services: Easter is a religious holiday for many, so attending church services or participating in virtual religious ceremonies can be a meaningful way to celebrate the day.
5. Have a Family Brunch: Gather your loved ones for a special Easter brunch. Prepare a feast with traditional dishes like ham, roasted vegetables, and sweet treats like pastries or pancakes.
6. Send Easter Greetings: Spread the joy by sending Easter greetings to friends and family. You can send personalized cards, e-cards, or even a heartfelt message through social media.
7. Enjoy Outdoor Activities: Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and plan outdoor activities like picnics, nature walks, or bike rides. It’s a great way to celebrate and appreciate the season.
8. Give Back: Easter is also a time for giving and helping others. Consider volunteering at a local charity, donating to a food bank, or participating in community service activities to make a positive impact.
9. Do Something You Love: Along with baking I love writing! I’m having so much fun writing the final scenes of Bought By The Sheikh which releases May 30…scroll to the very end for the purchase links. I’ll be releasing a fun excerpt with an Easter Egg hunt to my newsletter subscribers, join here and receive exclusive content>>
Remember, the most important thing is to spend quality time with your loved ones, embrace the spirit of Easter, and create joyful memories together. 🌷🐣

The joy of baking has seized me with her marvelous capacity for transcendence…looking forward to watching my buns in the oven rise! 🥙🐣❤️
My mother and grandmother taught me to bake… and to create what you love. And later while at a convent school, along with Christian Living classes and, happily, learning about other faiths, I went to cooking and baking classes with other girls… they were happy times
For this recipe I’m sticking to the trusty, tried and true, old-fashioned Edmonds Cookbook Recipe
