Last but not least in our Easter Brunch Recipe Series is our Strawberry Shortcake Trifle.

Since strawberries are the star of the show, I shopped at Hy-Vee (sponsored) where I knew I’d get high quality produce.

This recipe has been rigorously tested by a pastry chef.

It’s perfect to serve to groups not only because it serves a lot but it’s just a beautiful dish.

To get the recipe just google “Thriving Home Strawberry Shortcake Trifle” or comment recipe.

There are 3 essentials that make our New Fashioned Fruit Salad SO good!

#1 - You’ve got to pick the best fruit. So I shopped at Hy-Vee (sponsored) where you’ll find the best produce in town. There’s no shortage of choices that’s for sure! Plus, if you’re running short on time, you can always pick up their pre-washed, pre-cut fruit in the Hy-Vee ShortCuts section.

#2 - Cut up the fruit all the same size. I like mine pretty small and bite-sized.

#3 - Is the light, citrusy dressing you’ll toss it all with.

You’ll start by zesting a lime, then extract some of the juice (yep, that’s my party trick!), and finally stir in some honey.

Drizzle that over the fruit and give it all a stir. This fruit salad is sure to be a hit at your next brunch or holiday!

We’re back with another amazing Easter Brunch Recipe: Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole.

This decadent, holiday-worthy casserole has a warm bread pudding-like texture with plenty of cinnamon flavor and a cream cheese icing.

I got everything I needed for my Easter Brunch and this recipe at Hy-Vee (sponsored) where they are well stocked with high quality ingredients.

What I love most about this recipe is that you make it in advance. It sits in the fridge overnight or, if you’re working further in advance, you can prep it and freeze it.

Lastly, this recipe feeds a crowd so it works great for an Easter Brunch or breakfast potluck.

We couldn't have an Easter Brunch Series without ham right?

For my family, it’s an Easter staple. I got mine at Hy-Vee (our sponsor for this post) along with other groceries I needed for the holiday meal.

To make things even easier for you, we are using our crock pot to make it so your oven can be freed up to prepare other things for your Easter Brunch.

I’ll shoot you straight--it’s really easy to dry out your ham in the crock pot. However, after a lot of testing and research, we found the best way to slow cook a spiral ham and how to avoid it getting dried out in the process.

One trick we learned is that since most hams are too big for the crock pot, you can use foil to act as your lid.

You'll also be surprised at how quickly it cooks on low!

Google “Thriving Home slow cooker ham” or comment RECIPE to get all the details!

Once you try the broil method for Cinnamon Toast you will never eat it any other way again.

Making Cinnamon Toast in the oven allows the butter and sugar to caramelize on top while keeping the bottom half of the bread soft.

It’s a delightful combination of flavor and texture that is SO easy to make.

How to Make Cinnamon Toast in the Oven

1 - Generously butter your bread. Spread it ALL over.

2 - Sprinkle ground cinnamon. I use my hands for this so I don’t get too much.

3 - Sprinkle sugar over the top. Be generous. It won’t caramelize without it.

4 - Broil. Going from a cold oven to a broil yields the best results. It takes about 3 minutes.

Consider yourself warned… once you try this method you won’t go back!
