We always go to church on Easter morning, but we also enjoy having a good meal with friends and family after church. However, a big meal can mean dishes that take a long time to prepare and cook. So this year I went looking for ideas for a make ahead Easter dinner. I may not make everything on this list this year, but I’ve got a good list to choose from so that I just have to do a few things when we get home from church!

I’ve found one main dish, multiple side dishes, and lots of desserts. Some of them can be made up to a day ahead of time!
