Tips for Planning a Small Easter Dinner for Two
Planning a smaller Easter meal is all about keeping things simple while still making it feel special. Instead of trying to cook a full holiday spread, focus on a few well-chosen dishes that come together easily and don’t leave you with a fridge full of leftovers.
- Choose one main dish that feels festive and build the rest of the menu around it
- Add one or two easy sides instead of several complicated dishes
- Look for recipes that can be prepped ahead to save time on Easter
- Use small-batch or scaled-down recipes to keep shopping and portions simple
- Pick at least one favorite or traditional dish to keep the meal feeling special. I always make Easter Bread for our celebration.
Sample menu idea: turkey breast, ranch flavored carrots, twice baked potatoes and a few of my Carrot Shaped Brownies for dessert.

You don’t need a big menu to make a holiday meal feel special. Focus on one family favorite main dish and one or two sides you really love. Small touches like a favorite serving dish, a simple garnish, or a special dessert can make a simple dinner feel like a celebration.
Start by choosing one main dish, then add one or two simple sides that pair well with it. This keeps the menu balanced, easy to manage, and still special without creating extra work or leftovers.
