I admit I was a little scared to see Easter sweets in the stores already in February, but when I think that there's less than a month left now... So let me suggest a few dishes that will be just right for the holiday. I'll keep adding to this list, though, because I still have a few tasty dishes (mostly sweet ones) planned. I don't make a lot of food for Easter. Usually there's one cake, sometimes two, most often a babka (a traditional Polish Easter bundt-style cake) or a cheesecake. Sometimes there's also a mazurek (a flat Polish Easter cake), although not everyone likes it. Besides that, I make a roast (I don't know which one yet) and a vegetarian pâté (pasztet) for nibbling in between. Of course there are also eggs and salads made with eggs, as well as light fish dishes. I also like spreads for bread for the Easter breakfast. Dinner is light and easy to prepare too: żurek (a traditional Polish sour rye soup) and a piece of meat (most often poultry), so that I can enjoy the holiday with my whole family. There's also no shortage of fresh bread and all sorts of cookies. The kids will surely love the bunny rolls (maybe this year they won't turn out like gremlins ;)). I'm curious what you are planning for Easter. Are there any dishes that simply must be on your table? Will it be more of a feast, or something modest? Here are my Easter dish suggestions, gathered from my blog. **Savory:** **[Baked salmon with fennel seeds and egg](https://flowers-recipes.com/jamie-and-fennel-roasted-salmon-with-eggs-plus-easter/)**, simple but very tasty.

I'm tempted by the rostbef and the pieczeń huzarska :) I need to sit down calmly and think it over, though there isn't much time left. - **Dagmara** · 2012-03-13 11:22 I've been waiting for the Easter recipes to show up. :) I'll definitely pick something from these. - **flowerek (Author)** · 2012-04-05 14:00 I'm so glad you liked my suggestions. Happy Easter prep, and I hope it's delicious! @Ola, both the rostbef and the pieczeń huzarska are delicious, though they're different from each other. The rostbef is "lighter," though. - **Ewa** · 2013-03-23 01:42 These recipes are wonderful and I'll definitely pick something for our Easter menu. I'm looking for a recipe for a vegetarian soup that could replace the traditional żurek. - **flowerek (Author)** · 2013-03-23 14:32 · reply Thank you so much. A vegetarian version of Easter żurek will be on the blog on Monday. You're welcome to stop by. If that doesn't work for you, I suggest a cream of leek soup, which can also be made without bacon: http://flowerek.com/warzywa/wspanialy-krem-z-pora-z-boczkiem/ or potato or onion soups: http://flowerek.com/?s=zupa&x=0&y=0 - **Aga** · 2014-04-08 07:23 I'm delighted too. This year I'll be preparing the Easter breakfast on my own for the first time, so every bit of inspiration and any valuable advice will come in handy. - **flowerek (Author)** · 2014-04-08 07:46 · reply Hi. Then you're welcome here, and I hope you'll find something for yourself on my blog.
