Easter is such a special time as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. We always enjoy gathering around the table and sharing a meal together with our family.

Many think that holidays and meals are just a wash for trying to stay on the healthy track, but I’ve got great news for you in this post today.  You can have delicious food and not compromise your healthy lifestyle choices even during special occassions.

I am going to be sharing five healthy Easter menu ideas that our family loves! Scroll down to check out these recipes.

5. Avocados
6. Feta cheese crumbles
7. Brianna’s French Vinaigrette Dressing

Cut up all of your veggies except the avocados. Then cut your lemon in half and squeeze one of the halves over the veggies. Pour 1/3 bottle (or more depending on how much you are making) over the veggies, stir, cover, and chill for an hour or more. Chop up your avocados, and gently stir them into your chilled mix. Next, add in the feta chunks before serving.  

Homemade Apple Pie

#4 Low Fat Apple Pie

Ingredients:

1. 5-6 Granny Smith apples
2. 3 Tbsp applesauce
3. 3/4 c Brown Sugar
4. 1/2 tsp Salt
5. 2 tsp Cinnamon Sugar
6. 1 tsp Corn Starch
7. 2 Pie Shells
8. Egg White

Directions:

• 5-6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced about 1/4” thick
• In a large frying pan, melt 3 Tbsp butter on medium heat, and add apple slices.
• Stir gently, occasionally. Add about 3/4 c  brown sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Continue to occasionally stir, sprinkling in 2 tsp cinnamon sugar.
• As apples cook (5-7 min), they will soften, and there will be a syrup formed. If the syrup is thin, sprinkle in 1 tsp of corn starch to thicken. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
• With a slotted spoon, place apples in the pie shell, then pour the remaining syrup over the top.
• Slice a second pie shell into strips as pie lattice topping. Brush with egg wash (egg white with a little water). Sprinkle with decorative white sugar. Bake at 350 degrees 20-30 min to brown crust.

#5 Healthy Applesauce Muffins

1. 1 cup sugar
2. 1 cup applesauce
3. 1/3 cup vegetable oil

6. 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
7. 1 tsp baking soda
8. 1/2 tsp baking powder
9. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
10. 1/4 tsp salt
11. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
12. 3/4 cup chopped pecans, (optional)

Topping:

1. 1/2 cup brown sugar
2. 1 tsp ground cinnamon
