“The Lord is Risen” “He is Risen Indeed Hallelujah” 

This is how every Easter morning of my life has begun with the proclamation and joyous acknowledgement that we have been given the gift of salvation in the name of Jesus Christ. I have always loved Easter because the joy in the air over the celebration of Jesus rising from the and the arrival of spring was always palpable.

However, being the wife of a pastor, living away from my family our past few Easters have been significantly less celebratory. By the time we finished up the two or three church services, we promptly ams home and celebrated Easter by taking a nice long nap. This year, though, I am excited again because my entire family is coming to celebrate with us in our new home and at our new church! This will be my first time hosting a holiday meal and I am so excited to have my home be filled with family, food, and celebration!

Our menu is going to be baked ham, green beans (Not Elimination AIP), asparagus, deviled eggs (For the non AIP guests), AIP biscuits, Fruit Salad, and Carrot Cake Cupcakes.

To help you put together a meal fitting for such a fun day I have put together a little roundup of some delicious Easter friendly AIP dishes. There is no reason a lack of chocolate and eggs should put a damper on such a special holiday!
