From effortless and delicious meals to perfectly made baskets

We are kicking off the spring-summer entertaining season here at LifeMinute, and of course, Easter is around the corner. Here are some helpful tips to make it easier this year. Once again, Cracker Barrel is here to serve up a variety of options to make it super convenient, giving us all more time to spend with family and friends and less time in the kitchen.

This Easter, they’ve brought back their popular Easter Heat n' Serve Meals, featuring either Spiral-Sliced Sugar-Cured Ham or Prime Rib Au Jus. These easy-to-serve meals come packaged with everything needed to serve 4-6 or 8-10 people, and they go from oven to table in three hours or less.

They offer three options: the Easter Ham Feast, with Spiral-Sliced Sugar-Cured Ham that feeds 8-10 people; the Ham Family Dinner; or a Prime Rib Family Dinner with tender roasted Prime Rib Au Jus and Horseradish Sauce—both family dinners serving 4-6.

The best part? They include all the sides: Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Gravy, Country Green Beans, Creamy Mac n’ Cheese, Delicious Baby Carrots, Sweet Yeast Rolls, and Butter on the side. If you choose the Easter Ham Feast, you’ll get dessert too—an Apple Streusel and Pecan Pie.

You can also, of course, add any sides, drinks, and desserts you want. They have a seasonal Strawberry Peach Lemonade that is so yummy.

Pre-order now at crackerbarrel.com and pick it up April 17th through the 20th. Just make sure you place your order at least 24 hours in advance.

If you feel like getting out for Easter, Cracker Barrel is open during normal hours, and starting this year, guests can also enjoy a special Easter Day Meal in stores. The pre-set meal includes Sugar-Cured Ham, Turkey with Dressing and Roasted Gravy, Cranberry Relish, a choice of one Country Side (we suggest Hashbrown Casserole), hand-rolled Biscuits or Corn Muffins, and a slice of Pecan Pie with Ice Cream for dessert.

Now when it comes to festive sweet treats, LifeMinute loves Ferrero Rocher premium chocolates. Known of course for their delicious decadent chocolates but also for their iconic gold-wrapping and elegant presentation, that really do double duty as not only a great dessert, but great gifts and fantastic decorations for all your parties.

This Easter they have some amazing Limited - edition goodies for curated beautiful Easter baskets in all different options for your budget including Bunny Gift Boxes in 5-piece, 13-piece, and 24-piece. New this year are their Golden and Crispy Eggs, in dark, milk, white chocolate, hazelnut, caramel, and cocoa. There is also their classic Hollow Egg, again perfect for a beautiful centerpiece. Remember limited time only so hop on over to your nearest store and get them all while supplies last.
