With Easter just around the corner, people across the country would normally be planning family gatherings involving lots of food and good cheer. However, the pandemic has left many people wondering, “how am I going to celebrate Easter this year?”

Be sure that you use this time to connect with family or friends virtually, whether it’s over Sunday brunch or Easter dinner. When it comes to food, keep the traditions going by continuing to cook classic dishes like glazed carrots, scalloped potatoes, or carrot cake, and consider freezing leftovers for future use. Regardless, you should use this as an opportunity to fill Half Your Plate with fruits and veggies, and discover new recipes to try!
