Spring is on its way (apparently) and Easter is quickly creeping up on me. We just received about eight inches of snow after enjoying 60-degree weather for about a week. Wyoming typically always sees one last storm before the warmer weather permanently sticks. While it was sunny, I snuck over to one of my favorite blogger gal pals and put together a few easy Easter recipes to pair with this gorgeous spring-inspired table setting.
Eric and I are attending a wedding the weekend of Easter, so we will be missing out this year. This definitely made up for it.

This year, I have been so inspired by simplicity. It stems from juggling a toddler and a baby, and our general chaos of life. But taking the time to prep for special occasions is still something that I’m passionate about. That being said, I have been gravitating towards simple recipes made from a short list of delicious ingredients. So for this get-together, I mixed up a spring salad with lemon vinaigrette, roasted carrots and served it with carrot mimosas – all made with five ingredients or less.

Carrot Mimosas

Top it all off with some brut champagne. Do try and use a not-so-sweet champagne to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.
