Easter Treats for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Supper 2024

Easter BREAKFAST

I like breakfast especially at Easter when Chocolate is a treat

Fresh croissants with a bowl of strawberries

Fresh creamy coffee

Then the forbidden (normally) : CHOCOLATE EGG

Crush eat and be merry

Easter LUNCH

Being mindful to keep space for chocolate easter eggs!

Veggie Paninis for the Vegetarian and because they are delish

Fresh Orange Juice

Easter Chocolate cake with Strawberries

Easter DINNER

The end of a very chocolate day and more to come yet

Crispy chicken and crispy ham

Crispy Roasted Parmesan Cauliflower Cheese (vegetarian dishes)

Mixed Tomato Salad

Roast Potatoes

Sparking Raspberry Drink

Chocolate lots and lots

Late Easter SUPPER

If you can !

Champagne and Easter eggs

Sit and watch your fav. Film 😁

Absolutely fabulous @TallTrees ...all of it.

As much as I love chocolate, I really am a person who prefers savoury treats and meals.

Your Easter lunch and dinner looks delicious. I would eat all of that. Look at those roasties!

My son has offered to cook a roast lunch on Sunday. He's a good cook and can get on with it.

We have lamb and chicken.

Looking forward to being waited on 😂

That chocolate cake is out of this world.

Thanks for posting so many delicious treats.

Happy Easter to you and yours

The coffee looks gorgeous @TallTrees ; the strawberries and the paninis also have a certain appeal. 👍

I try to avoid chocolate - "naughty but nice" as the advertisment for cream cakes used to say ! 😀

Croissants and pains aux chocolats, and strawberries (or blueberries or raspberries) - delumptious! 🤤

Freshly squeezed orange juice and champagne, hmmm... 😁

Brilliant, @TallTrees - and guess what, @Cleoriff - you are going to have to engage with the chocovores in your house on Saturday 😇

'nuff said 🤐

Great selection in your menus @TallTrees

I really like the idea of croissants and strawberries for breakfast; and veggie paninis for lunch 😋 . Gonna have to do some online shopping to see what I can find.

Always liked cauliflower cheese, so that`s something to consider for tea/evening meal.

And of course, not forgetting snacking on Easter eggs and hot cross buns.

I hope you, and all those who contribute to Off Topic on the O2 Community have a Good Easter and will make use of some of these food suggestions.

Not a big chocolate type myself. Chocolate and strawberries go well together. @Oxonian

In town a sandwich shop sells a really edible hot ham and cheese panini and it is truly amazing especially when lunch time arrives and very hungry, great with a bottle of lemon fizzy water 😋

Glad you liked the coffee so nice.

Happy Easter

Thank you @Mi-Amigo

Cauliflower cheese is really good, I add some new potatoes and string beans makes a great meal with melted cheese on top.

Enjoy your EASTER 🐣

That sounds fabulous @TallTrees.

Paninis in a "proper" cafe are often so much nicer than the factory-made, refrigerated and reheated offerings in the larger chain coffee shops. 👍

Made while you wait and watch too @Oxonian the panini is very fresh and filled with loads of thin cut ham and lots of cheese melting when put in the hot press (whatever that's called).

The shop has a huge range and all sandwiches are made in front of you, no short measures either choose what you want for your sandwich from under the huge glazed counter.

OMG this is making me hungry😖

Now that IS a sandwich 🥪 shop.

Talking of chocolate @TallTrees I must admit to preferring bars of Lidl or Aldi fruit and nut.

Much better than Cadburys. Although I do like Cadburys creme eggs,

Re: EASTER TREATS ~ Easter week on the Community 2024

TallTrees — Fri, 29 Mar 2024 20:24:48 GMT

Agreed lidl choc is excellent. @Cleoriff

I used to love those creme eggs too

Favourite now is nut chocolate

Trying to find German marzipan chocolate as per pgn. Chocolate coated peanuts are nice 😋

It may ge a bit of a chocolate weekend not eggs.
