Easter is always a big holiday for us.  We used to go to my Grandma's house.  Now I have taken up the reins, and host at our house.  We then have a second Easter with Ben's family.  It's that big of a holiday for us!!

This year, Tastefully Simple sent me a variety of products and recipes to make Easter extra special!!



I made some of the items for Easter #1, and I will make the others for Easter #2!!  

We tried the Spinach Artichoke Dip, the Key Lime Dip that I made into a Key Lime and Kiwi Pie, and the Frozen Sangria Mix!!






I loved the taste of the Spinach Artichoke dip, and it was very easy to make.  All it needed was Swiss cheese and cream cheese.  The only problem we had was it was very thick.  We had to use a spoon to scoop the dip onto the chip.  Not a problem in this house though!!




My favorite dish by far was the Key Lime and Kiwi pie!!  Oh my was this delicious!!  Very simple to make.  It called for whipped cream and cream cheese to make the filling, and a pie crust (I used graham cracker.)  It had just the right amount of lime flavoring, and it was gone in 10 minutes (everyone ate it and had seconds!!)



Look how absolutely amazing it looks!!!



The last item we made was an adult favorite.  We made the frozen Sangria mix.  



The Sangria called for two bottles of wine, and a little water.  Then we froze it for a couple hours and had fun drinking it!!  I am used to non frozen Sangria's, but this was really good too.  Next time we make it I think I am going to add some fruit to it before we freeze it!! 



Over all we loved the items we received from Tastefully Simple, and I can not wait for our next Easter celebration so we can try even more yummy food items.  Stay tuned and I will let you know what's on the menu!!

In the meantime, check out some of these delicious looking recipes, and Tastefully Simple's website for even more recipes and to purchase the terrific items we received!!
