This easy chocolate babka bread recipe features a filling mixture with cocoa, hazelnuts, and rum. It’s a sweet bread that you can serve as a dessert. Babka is sometimes called the King of the Jewish breads, and for good reason. The sweet indulgence is a great recipe for celebrating the end of Passover. You can bake my version either in the oven or the bread machine. Its rise (haha! get it!) in popularity marks its transition from a holiday exclusive to year-round in bakeries worldwide.

How To Cook The Best Easter Ham
Today, I am going to show you how to cook the best Easter ham. Our family only eats ham occasionally, like every other year. This year, I decided to host an Easter dinner, which will feature this hammy ham and its wonderful glaze. It had nothing to do with wanting to take beautiful pictures of all the delicious things I will make. Not at all. The spice rub is very simple. You can leave, as is, or you can create a honey, brown sugar glaze that can be put on in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Amazingly Easy Sweet Easter Bread Recipe
I’m slowly making my way to a complete Easter meal! And today, I have this easy sweet Easter bread recipe to serve at your dinner table. I realize that I just did a hot cross buns recipe, but this bread is for my centerpiece surrounded by colorful dyed eggs. I love the braided texture, and I think traditionally, you put some of those colorful eggs inside the braids, too. You can just use those chocolate eggs wrapped in pastel foil for a no-fuss decoration. Mine will be served on a cake platter.
Irresistible Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
I love Reese’s, but candy prices are through the roof! Here are some homemade Reese’s peanut butter “cups” for you to make. They are so good, and the best part is that you can use whatever ingredients you want without all of that yucky preservatives. If you want, you could also make your own peanut butter for them, use different chocolate, or throw in some Nutella instead. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not some sea salt sprinkled on top, or maybe crispy rice cereal? Or even caramel!
How To Make Colored Deviled Eggs For Easter (A Beautiful Rainbow)
Today I am going to show you how to make colored deviled eggs for Easter. These eggs came out absolutely gorgeous! They are also really easy to make. If you don’t want to use my deviled egg recipe, you can substitute your own. The secret is in how much food coloring to use for each egg set. But don’t worry, I have the exact drop measurements you need to make a rainbow of Easter egg colors. I gave my eggs bold colors (instead of a more pastel palette) because I wanted them to pop on the plate.
Beautiful Green Rainbow Cake Recipe for St. Patrick’s Day
The luck of the Irish is in every bite of this St. Patrick’s Day green rainbow cake. It’s bright, happy colors are just the thing to bring some shamrock and gold to the end of the rainbow. I made four layers, but you can make as many (or as little) as you want. You can also change out the colors, if you want an actual rainbow. Below, I included a mascarpone cheese substitution, too, if you can’t find it. The cake itself is a simple vanilla cake, but not overpoweringly so.

30 Super Cute Easter Foods To Make (Party Recipes)
These super cute Easter foods to make are totally awesome!! Easter is one the best crafty times of year, even above Valentine’s Day (my favorite holiday) and Christmas, but other than making crafts or hiding Easter plastic eggs (with money inside!) for the kids, I don’t go all out with making food. None of these tutorials are for dyeing Easter eggs – only for some yummy treats. I’m in awe of the creativity and thoughtfulness of these Easter foods. :) Hoppy Easter, everyone!
Copycat Shamrock Shake Recipe … With Matcha
Craving a McD’s shake? Well, here’s a copycat shamrock shake recipe … with matcha! I think Shamrock Shakes were on my brain because of St. Patrick’s Day, and also everyone in my house was talking about how McDonald’s changed their shakes into “gourmet” shakes, which just means that they get to charge you 3x more than they previously did for exactly the same thing. It has a bit of peppermint, too. This knockoff is so good, you don’t need to leave your house. #StPatricksDay
Classic Gingerbread Man Recipe: Adorable Christmas Cookies Recipe
I’m continuing my journey of Christmas cookies with this classic Gingerbread Man recipe. I know you can make houses with these cookies, but I always thought they were too delicious to make decorations out of. So I had to make some of these cookies! We have this place called the Gingerbread Man near my law school. Most people (including all the staff) call it the G-Man. Anyway, I was driving by it the other day and got an inspiration to make some cookies. With it being near Christmas and all.
