The Ultimate Easter Meal: Food, Flowers & Fun Coming Together Oh So Easily!

Easter meals should be special and feature some luxury foods, but they also should be easy to prepare and be able to please a crowd of all ages! I have picked some of my favorite brands that are strictly no fail and only require the most basic of cooking (and defrosting) skills, LOL!

I have been an Omaha Steaks fan for over 30 years and they have at least a dozen great complete Easter meals packages that pretty much cover meat, sides and desserts for four people. You just defrost and heat each item! All of them are under $200 and a lot have free shipping! You can’t beat that even in your local supermarket one reason being that even uout supermarket’s most expensive meat cannot raise a finger to Omaha Steaks’ meat! They have it all from hot dogs to wagyu filet mignon and back again. I have a lot of meat eaters joining me this year, so I decided to try the Grillmaster’s Easter Gift basket. It includes the following mouthwatering items: four (10 oz.) Ribeyes, two (10 oz.) Bone-In New York Strips, four (6 oz.) PureGround® Filet Mignon Burgers, four (3 oz.) Kielbasa Sausages and one three ounce jar of Omaha Steaks Seasoning.

Omaha Steaks throws in free shipping on this package to sweeten the deal, which I love. You can purchase it here for $177.97: Grill Masters Easter Basket. I also recommend all these extremely well-rounded and well-priced Omaha Steaks packages not only because the meat is amazing but because the highly underrated Caramel Apple Tartlets are included in three of them:

Lady M always aims to blend French techniques with Japanese finesse. Their Coconut Cheesecake reflects that ethos — nothing is overdone. Every element is intentional. The coconut isn’t just a flavor, it’s a theme: light, beachy, ethereal. This cheesecake isn’t just about dessert — it’s about mood, memory, and presentation. The coconut flavor isn’t overpowering. It’s infused throughout — in the crust, in the cheesecake layer, and in the topping — but in an elegant, silky way. You’ll find the essence of coconut milk or coconut cream woven into the filling. This elegant Easter dessert’s allure comes from the magical combo of light and creamy marscapone cheese, coconut purée, and velvety cream cheese that sits atop a golden graham cracker crust. The cheesecake also has a light whipped cream topping and a sprinkling of finely shredded coconut for a delightfully delicate finish. It serves about 10 to 14 and comes in a reusable blue Lady M logo freezer bag. Order here for $92: Lady M Coconut Cheesecake.

At Bissinger’s, they take their profound love of chocolate very seriously.

I consider Carrot Cake to be a classic Easter dessert and these petit fours are a sophisticated spin on this well-loved dessert! Order a box of 12 for $40 here: Bissinger’s Carrot Cake Petit Fours.

I recently discovered April & Ashley’s unforgettable 24 stem rose bouquets and fell in love. They have some especially gorgeous bouquets for Easter and my dinner table will be featuring King’s Cross and Buttercup (pictured above). To me, they go together as well as milk and cookies! April & Ashley stands out in the floral industry by combining decades of family-driven passion with a commitment to quality, community, and customer satisfaction. Their unique approach to rose cultivation and distribution offers customers an opportunity to experience the timeless beauty of roses in a fresh and personalized manner.

(Just FYI, bouquets of only one dozen roses and rose bushes are also available.)

I have written about Boarderie products in the past and just love them. Their charcuterie boards were launched into the major luxury food marketplace via Shark Tank a few years ago and got an additional boost when they wound up on Oprah’s Favorite Things list back in 2023. As much as I adore the colorful and arty Boarderie charcuterie boards, I was dying to try their baked Brie products. They have gotten less play in the media than the boards but different foodie friends have told me that they are remarkable. The 2-Cheese Double Cream Baked Brie Board is perfect for hosting and gifting! Everything arrives frozen and ready-to-bake. You fan order them ahead and keep them in the freezer to bake for any occasion. Each Double Cream Baked Brie Board serves five to six guests and here are the phenomenally unique flavors featured:

  • Blueberry, Vanilla & Thai Ginger: Creamy brie, blueberry vanilla goat cheese & sweet Thai ginger wrapped in puff pastry
  • Truffle, Fig & OrangeCreamy brie, truffle moliterno cheese, Turkish figs & candied orange wrapped in puff pastry
  • Chocolate, Espresso & RaspberryCreamy brie, red berry milk cheese, espresso, dark chocolate & raspberry wrapped in puff pastry
  • Rosemary, Sun-Dried Tomato & Olive: Creamy brie, rosemary asiago cheese, sun dried tomatoes & mandarine chili olives wrapped in puff pastry

The Boarderie folks believe that two cheeses are better than one, and that’s why each pastry features a classic French brie paired with another decadent, artisan cheese. Simply pop the oven safe baking trays in for 20 minutes and they’re ready to serve! Order here for $129 plus free shipping: 2-Cheese Double Cream Baked Brie Board.

Boarderie’s Large Mushroom, Scallion & Onion Caramelized Onion Baked Brie is unique and unforgettable! I do not think you can outdo the allure of buttery brie with savory sautéed mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions and fresh scallions wrapped in puff pastry! This appetizing and artistically presented Boarderie item go straight from frozen in its package to your oven so it’s a no brainer when you want something elegant and easy to serve at Easter (or pretty much any occasion)! Order ahead and keep frozen to bake on the spur of the moment. Included in your order are one large (9 inch) ready-to-bake brie with lattice design in Boarderie’s signature 10-inch round acacia wood board (reusable) plus one box of crackers. As mentioned before, prep is so easy–you just literally bake this Brie delight without having to defrost it. (Do not bake inside the wooden board! Remove the dark wood board and bake in the pastry safe light wood tray at 425°F for 20-25 minutes.) Cool in the oven for 40 minutes with oven turned off to ensure a warm and gooey center. Order here for $129 with free shipping: Boarderie’s Large Mushroom, Scallion And Caramelized Onion Baked Brie. (Note: pesto and cranberry versions are also available and equally irresistible.)

At the legendary O&H Danish Bakery, they make everything from scratch and this brioche style bread is no different. They take six different rolls of bread and weave them together into their Easter Braided Colored Bread. The colors of Easter shine through and this is a perfect complement to anyone’s Easter meal–and then is perfect the next day for making sandwiches out of your leftovers. Watch eyes light up and compliments begin when this is served on your table! This fun, high quality loaf comes presliced and will serve about 14 to 16. This is one of the cutest Easter meal items that I have come across in ages. Guests will be raving and will undoubtedly be shooting it for their social posts. I simply love how creative O&H Bakery is. Be sure to check out their famous Kringles and cakes as well. Order the Easter bread here for $24.49: O&H Easter Braided Colored Bread.
