EVERYTHING CROTON'S "ALL THINGS COOKERY, KITCHEN & TABLE" #17... THE EASTER TABLE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Announcing ALL THINGS COOKERY, KITCHEN & TABLE #17...a new series here at the blog for all you cooking enthusiasts out there---recipes, tips, local shopping, interesting links....we'll keep it light and joyful...click on the photos and links.  AND NOW, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER...

THIS POST IS ALL ABOUT... THE EASTER TABLE...AND... getting ready to celebrate with friends and family.......again, click on the photos and links.

Check out 21 OF OUR BEST EASTER DINNER RECIPES FROM MARTHA STEWART. 

From ham and much more, you'll absolutely find something just perfect for the table---CLICK HERE.

BUT....just in case you still want more--check out 50 BEST EASTER RECIPES from THE PIONEER WOMAN---click here.  

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE ROOT BEER GLAZED HAM.  

Yes....root beer...and it's great on meatloaf too but that's a story for another day!!!  Best of all, you can use generic root beer (but who would when you have Hire's!)

And for those of you seeking Vegan options, check out 31 OF THE BEST VEGAN EASTER RECIPES FROM...

mydarlingvegan.com  You're sure to find something for everyone there.

Now that the main meal is taken are of....it's time to concentrate on decorating the table...and desserts....

First, we love the simplicity of this idea from House of Hawthornes---pansies and teacups---click here and keep scrolling down the page once you get there to see more.

You can even add some of these free printables from HofH too.

And some vintage Easter cross images here.

BTW, if you need extra plates, white goes with everything! Or can be used to round out missing pieces from those assorted dish sets you've lovingly collected---or been lucky enough to inherit.

Or to accent those seasonal random pieces you've assembled.

CROTON SHOPRITE has lots of white Corelle options (and unbreakable too) IN THE BACK OF THE STORE CURRENTLY---near the fancy cakes section.  There's also those emergency "fancy" salad tongs too! 

Still stuck on how to arrange your tablescape--no problem---here's some dish inspiration from PINTEREST.

And if you're in need of more for the tabletop from Decor to Pottery to Linens, MELITA'S HOME FURNISHINGS is the place for you.

MOVING ALONG TO DESSERTS--and in case you are not into making your own this year, there's lots of local options from BAKED BY SUSAN, JUNCTION JT'S and THE DESSERTIST.   BUT...if you do plan on making something...

We highly recommend...ITALIAN EASTER COOKIES! 

Yes, these are remarkably close to the ones we had as children (note to Moms and Dads etal. out there--please document the favorite family recipes as part of your family tradition so that future generations are spared "close but something is missing" wonderings(!) Here's the recipe.
