	<h1>Resurrecting Easter Brunch</h1>


	<h3>Make it easy, unfussy, and delicious</h3>


<div id="intro" class="col1">

	<p>Easter conjures up idyllic images of bunnies, bonnets, and brunch. But somewhere around adolescence it becomes apparent that the bunnies don&#8217;t have much relevance and the bonnets aren&#8217;t cute. And the brunch? With the heavy roast and predictable sides, it&#8217;s just boring. This year, create a new tradition. Our menu celebrates the season, gives a nod to the holiday standards, and can mostly be made ahead. So, invite over your nearest and dearest and revive Easter brunch while making it your own.</p>
