Easter is this Sunday. I know not everybody celebrates this holiday, but I love Easter. For me, it means spring is finally here, and I love spring weather in Utah. I love going Easter egg hunting (yes, I still do that, even though many would think I'm too old). My mom likes to do an Easter egg hunt for her grandkids and one for her kids; she's awesome like that. This year is also my son's first Easter, and my first with a child, and I can't wait to celebrate it with my husband and son. I'm even thinking of getting him a cute Easter outfit for Sunday; any excuse to shop is a good one! I also love getting together with family and enjoying a nice Easter dinner. So here are five great recipes that you can enjoy with your family and friends for the holiday.

Hi Pauline,
Typically doubling a recipe should work in the WildSide+ jar.
I love this blendtec, i did buy the vita mixer ten years ego and still work but this blendtec is the best for many reason firs it is digital and it has for every thing the name of the what you want to do or task to make i did buy on Costco this month
Why do you always specify a certain jar? One jar should work for all, or all you trying to promote new sales through your recipes? Most of your recipes specify a jar that was “invented” after I purchased my set-up. The rolls recipe, for instance, specifies a “Wildside+” jar, yet when I purchased my Blendtec, making bread was no problem in the jar that was part of my purchase.
how do i adjust a receipe if i don’t have the FourSide blender. i have the original blender.
thanks
what do you use the cashew cream for?
